Car checkups

Right now I’m sitting in the Smart center (picture below) in Bloomfield Hills waiting for my car. It’s crazy that our Smart (aka Gunter) is almost at 50,000 miles.

Thunderstorm Update

Michigan’s certainly putting up a fight tonight with an impressive thunderstorm. Sorry, though, Michigan… it’s not going to be enough to keep us here. 😉 Nick and I did some more packing tonight and we disassembled the dining table. Our apartment’s starting to look bare and weird now, in spite of having our things strewn all about … Continue reading »
