Well, almost. That's how long The Dark Knight has been out without being seen by me. Shocked? You should be. I have had the countdown to this movie on my desktop for six months now. So why? Why have I not partaken of the grisly goodness? I'm going to blame my brother. I'm going to visit him this next week and he calls me on Friday all "Dude, we should totally go see it at the IMAX while you're here." And I says, "Hey. good idea!" It seemed like a no-brainer due to the fact that the closest IMAX screen around here is at the MN Zoo in Apple Valley. However, everywhere I look I see stuff about this movie. I may end up seeing Mamma Mia! just to give my brain something to chew on whilst waiting for the awesomeness of The Dark Knight. I'll probably live, though.
Yes, yes, I'm going visiting. I'm leaving Frazee on Tuesday to stay at my cousin Sue's house Tuesday night. I will leave painfully early on Wednesday morning to drive to Milwaukee (it's pronounced "mill-e-wah-que" which is Algonquin for "the good land.") to take the Lake Express ferry to Muskegon, Michigan where I will be picked up by said brother. I will return on Sunday to Milwaukee, from whence I will drive to Two Harbors to pick up my father. My plan is to just go with the flow. As long as there's Batman somewhere in there, I'm happy. There have been various activities mentioned, including Taste of Grand Rapids and a steak on the grill. Is it just me, or is anything more fun when there's food involved?
Other than that, there isn't much going on. I'm still volunteering at the Shelter, still planning to start classes at NDSU on Aug 25th. Still struggling with slogging through my accumulated crap from the past 15 years and throwing what I don't need. I'm also (apparently) randomly capitalizing things. I know you can't tell, because I fixed it, but trust me. Anyhoo, I'm going to eat a beef stick and go to bed early. TTFN!!

Hey Keara!
I didn't know your brother was living in MI - what part? When we lived there we went to Grand Rapids all the time especially after I got pregnant - GR had the closest Babies R Us (there is now one in Kalamazoo - they built it right after I had Melanie). GR is about an hour north of where we lived in Kalamazoo. Anyway, I highly recommend visiting the Frederik Meijer Gardens in GR - they have cool statues (you have to see DaVinci's horse!) and a nice walking path through the gardens. I've heard the Ferry doesn't save you any time but is a neat experience. I think Kari did it once. My Grandma has done it a few times too. Another neat place to visit not too far from GR is Holland, MI - go tour the windmill. Sounds like an ambitious trip overall you have planned - can't wait to hear all about it when you get back!
Sorry, I thought I had said that before. And actually, Ethan and Becky live in Holland! Weird, huh? So actually, to here it is a bit of a time-saver. That and I didn't have to drive through Chicago. Whew!
