[May 30, 2012] Thankful for...new wine!  My mom, Scott, Aunt Joan, Aunt Beth, and Uncle Randy went to Hudsonville Winery tonight.  I hadn't been there for a while, so I was able to try a couple of new ones (Hudsonberry is really good!).  We bought more than normal because we had a coupon for 10% off, so we stocked up on a few different flavors and bought some to use for gifts.  I ended up buying Acai and Blueberry, and Scott and my mom got a few different ones too. :)

[May 29, 2012] Thankful for...lightning!  There was a small storm that started around one in the morning and there was a lot of lightning...I couldn't get any lightning bolts, but there was a couple really big ones right by each other, and they totally lit up the sky!  This was my brightest shot (no editing!), taken at 1:25am!

[May 28, 2012] Thankful for...Memorial Day!  I went to Jenison's Memorial Day parade with Jack and my Aunt Joan today - it was really nice to see everyone out there and honor the veterans. :)

[May 27, 2012] Thankful for...dancing!  Alec, Joel, and Jack came over today to do some of the Wii Just Dance game...we had some good times - we did it for a total of almost 2 hours!  Lots of laughing happened between us, right guys??  "Rah Rah Rasputin..." ;)

[May 26, 2012] Thankful for...spending the day with my mom!  My dad and Scott were at a golf tournament all day, so my mom and I ran a bunch of different errands and got supper together. :)

[May 25, 2012] Thankful for...trip planning!  Our family is going to Washington D.C. in a few weeks and a couple from our church came over tonight to talk to us about things that they liked when they went.  I've always wanted to go to D.C., and am so excited to go! :) 

[May 24, 2012] Thankful for...Becca being home!  She came home for the weekend from D.C., so Katie, Becky, Becca, and I all hung out together!

[May 23, 2012] Thankful for...graduation!  Alec's grauation was tonight, and it was a really nice ceremony - congrats bud! :)

p.s. Phillip Phillips won American Idol!!  He was the first one I thought was really good in January when he first auditioned, and put it on the blog in too! :)

[May 22, 2012] Thankful for...American Idol!  Jessica and Phillip are the last ones left and they performed three different songs.  Jessica did pretty well, but Phillip closed out the show with what the judges call the best one of the night.  My mom and I tried to vote for Phillip several different times, and only got through 3 times...oh well...
