In case you didn't know, MSU beat the UofM yesterday for the second year in a row!!! This is a historic win seeing as how MSU hasn't beat UofM 2 years in a row since the Johnson administration... Unfortunately most of West Michigan are U of M fans so we were quite outnumbered in our joy at church this morning. The pastor even thought it necessary to make a comment about his disappointment with the outcome of the game. He said - and I quote - "Spartan fans are like new money. They're just obnoxious!" Yep. He said that. We did not laugh. Anyways, we went to East Lansing on Friday night for AGR's annual Hog Roast. All the proceeds went to support Michigan AgriAbility. (It's an organization that helps disabled farmers.) We ate some delicious pork and cheesy potatoes and got to talk and catch up with some of Zach's fraternity brothers. We had planned to watch the game in East Lansing with friends ... but that doesn't work out so well when you realize most of your friends no longer live there... it was a bit of a wake up call that things are different once again. Graduating college is bittersweet. It's much like graduating high school because you are SO SAD to leave the incredible friends you made but also excited for the new friends that God will provide. Right now it's kinda hard...I miss my old friends.
Last week Friday we went on our first date since we have been married - and we went to the circus! Ha ha. Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey's was in town at the VanAndel Area and I got tickets through my elementary school so we decided to go. Zach had never been to a circus and I haven't been since I was a small child. It had your typical weird things like people who can bend in every-which direction and ladies who twirled around by their hair way up in the air. But there were also some pretty sweet things. Take the acrobats for example who flip around on the flying trapeze; they are amazing! I told Zach that I wanted to take up that profession and he said no. The best thing was probably an act where they put 7 motocross motorcycles in a steel-cage ball and they all drove around in circles at the same time. It was crazy. Here's a picture and in case you don't believe us.
On Sunday Zach's mom and dad came over to our apartment for the first time. We have their approval, so this is good. :) After relaxing for awhile we went downtown GR to take in some of the crazy ArtPrize artwork. ArtPrize is a huge program put on by the city or Grand Rapids. Thousands of artists from all over the country entered in their pieces and placed them all over downtown. There is a giant table and chairs on top of a bridge, paintings on the sides of buildings, sculptures attached to fences, a giant floating Nessie in the river, and all kinds of crazy artsy things. People can walk around to look at the pieces and then vote on their favorite. They have narrowed it down to the Top 10 and voting will continue for a few more weeks before they decide on the winner. This moose made entirely out of nails was one of our favorites and I believe he made it into the Top 10. I have also included Nessie and the table & chairs.
