Happy Anniversary Michelle!

Today is our 5th Wedding Anniversary!  Hard to believe we have been married for five years.  Doesn't seem like it.  The years are passing way to fast.  Could not imagine being without Michelle and the boys.  It seems like we have been married our whole lives.  Everything that happened before them does not matter.  I thank God everyday for this incredible blessing!

Michelle had planned out a very nice Anniversary for us.  We left work early yesterday and headed for Lake Orion.  We stayed at the Palace Inn near the Palace of Auburn Hills.  Not the nicest place we have ever stayed, but it wasn't horrible.  Michelle had got me a gift certificate for 51 North Brewing.  We arrived there in the early evening and found a nice table.  The brewery was different than most we have been to.  It was not very busy and our waitress was very good.  We got our drink order in right away and then ordered appetizers.

Our drink samplers.

My Selections.

Beer Bites on Broadway appetizer. This was awesome.
 
My beautiful and incredible wife!  I love you!
 
We ordered our sandwiches, which came out quickly.  I had their version of a Cuban sandwich.  It was really good.  Michelle had a chicken sandwich that also tasted very good.  People came and went as we ate and enjoyed each others company.  We finished up and headed back to the hotel for the night.
 
We got up at a decent time on our anniversary and went down for breakfast.  We spent some more time in our room and then headed out for the day.  We went to On the Border for lunch and then headed into Great Lakes Crossing.  We walked around and did some shopping.
 
We spotted a giant giraffe.
 



We didn't realize JJ had a Driving School?
 
We went to the Theatre and saw God's Not Dead!  This was an awesome movie that I recommend to everyone!  This was made by Pure Flix.  We have watched several of their movies.  This one was the best yet!  I won't say anymore because I would not want to ruin it for you.  Please see it whether you believe or not.
 
After the movie we did a little more shopping and stopped for some ice cream.  I had Peanut Butter Brownie, Michelle had Peanut Butter Brownie and Birthday Cake.  Yum!
 
We headed for home and stopped in Clio to pick up Chinese food to take home so we did not have to cook.  We got home, ate and settled in for the night.  A nice relaxing end to a great day.
 
Thank you God for bringing Michelle and the boys into my life!  Thank you Michelle for being my wife, a wonderful mother and a great woman of God!  I Love You!

My Dad

My last post was from Michelle and my anniversary celebration.  The day after we returned I received a call from my mom.  My dad was not doing well and needed to go to the hospital.  Michelle and I went to their house and we all took dad to the emergency room.  We had known for some time that he had Pulmonary Fibrosis for which there is no cure.  He was admitted to the Intensive Care Unit later that day.  This would turn out to be his final journey. While in the Intensive Care Unit he received outstanding care from the staff at Covenant HealthCare.  Their compassionate care can not be equaled anywhere.  Dad's personality and belief in his creator also helped the staff and us through this difficult time.  During this time Dad was more concerned about us than himself.  He knew that soon he would meet Jesus face to face.  That was his comfort.  I made a promise to him that I would take care of mom and my family, just as he had c...

Summer Vacation Day 4: The ER

Day four started out with beautiful weather.  We had breakfast and Michelle took Brendan fishing.  I decided I would take a ride on the bike and do a little recon for a family bike ride. I set off east to ride toward Rapid River.  I rode around the the edge of the bay and took a few pictures. Dunes on the edge of Gladstone. This was around 4-5 miles out of town in a small subdivision. The photo above is of a small river I crossed, unfortunately I cannot remember the name.  I thought I found a bike trail that would be nice for all of us.  Unfortunately it was swampy and not kept up.  I headed back to Gladstone and met Michelle and Brendan out on the fishing dock. I sat with them for a while and Brendan caught this. This is a Gobi.  An invasive species of the Great Lakes. After a few minutes I started back to the house.  On the way I started to have some chest pain.  After showering it had not let up. ...

Summer Vacation: Day 8, Marquette

Day out started out cool, cloudy and windy.  It would stay like that the entire day.  After Michelle got up we took a little walk in the park by the bay.  It was very cool and returned to the house.  The plan for the day was to go to Marquette to visit Raymond and his family and have dinner with them. I received a text from Raymond that informed me the weather was not good there and it had not been for the entire week.  It had been very cold and windy.  He told me to bring warm clothes and we would probably be inside. We arrived at there location just after 3:00pm and it was cold and windy.  They told us it had been worse earlier in the day.  After talking for a while Angel started to make burgers and hot dogs on the grill.  We walked down to the beach with Raymond to discover that the beach was not really there.  The water has been so high this year and the waves were coming in so hard there was no beach.  They said they h...
