Hello :)


Life has been busy as of late, but I've still found some moments to relax. Last weekend my friends and I grilled. We made beer can chicken. Don't know if you've heard of it but, you basically stick a beer can in a chicken and let it roast. It was really really good!! Very tender. Very yummy. We had a lot of good food, which was nice. It was also my friend Eric's b-day, so we went out for a few drinks after supper. Good fun.
This week I moved all my stuff to my friend's house in the suburbs (in between Allendale and Grand Rapids). I'll be here for a little over a month as I wait for my apartment, which should be ready mid-June. I'm excited to move in. It's really cute. Quite urban, which will be a new experience for sure. Exciting though :) It's on the sixth floor, has hardwood floors, a non-functional old fireplace, painted walls, and big windows. The view is awesome. I can't wait to get settled in there!! It's fun living with my friends in the mean time though. An all guy house, but it's SO much better than living with girls!!! I'm so glad I'm done with my previous arrangement. It was getting too stressful. My old roomy, Kim was over here last night, and it was alright. I think we are just glad we aren't living with each other anymore. I haven't seen Lesley in a while, but we've been busy.
Classes are going alright. My geology class has a lot of field trips, so it's nice to get out of the classroom a bit. This week we went to a water filtration plant. It was pretty neat. My other class is okay. My last gen ed (thank god). The class sounds like it's going to have a lot of work, but that's alright.

OH... mom: my brandy alexanders turned out great! My friend loved them! He said that I combined two of the best things in the world: brandy and ice cream (haha). For the second batch I didn't have enough vanilla ice cream, so we threw in a couple scoops of "moose tracks" ice cream and that was REALLY tasty! It kind of gave it a fudge twist. Might want to try it some time ;) And again, my friends love the taco salad. Always a hit, especially on those summer days.... and the next day :)
Not too much else going on... I'm finally getting settled in here. I moved the last of my stuff in yesterday, and organized my belongings. I'm still looking for a few random things, but they'll surface eventually. I cleaned the living room today. All their gaming controllers and counsels were spread all over the place... and that bugs me SO much (got to take care that stuff plus, my Wii was in the mix of it all).Between everyone here there is a ridiculous amount of gaming systems here (No doubles though, haha). I actually found that weird. I brought three systems, and they were three that weren't here before. Weird. So yeah...my friend's are enjoying the Wii at their place for awhile. :)
Well, I suppose, I better get some of my homework done...

I made beer can chicken lot long ago too. It is really good. I was just thinking I should call you to see if you were still alive. Glad everything is going well.
