Well…

February 15, 2006

So I went to Michigan last weekend, and actually had a really good time. Yes, the weather sucked, but that was to be expected. I really enjoyed seeing some friendly faces. I stayed at my Aunt Sharon’s house in Shelby Township, where most of my musical instruments were being stored. I really enjoyed seing her, and getting my stuff (When I moved to California, everyone dispersed around the country and my stuff went different places, so I’m piecing it all together).
I drove up Thursday and got into town at around 5:00pm. My first stop was microcenter which is the last place I worked before I moved. I saw some of my old coworkers. Then I headed over to Somerset Mall, where I also used to work, but my particular store went out of business just over 2 years ago (it was definately my favorite job). After leaving the mall, I drove past my old house in Troy where I lived the first 18 1/2 years of my life. While I was there, I decided to stop to see one of my friends that lived right down the street. Rhonda was excited to see me, and I her. We decided to walk around Somerset and have a bite to eat at the food court.
On Friday, I started the day buy heading to Classic Auto Showplace, which was a father/son hangout for Dad and I. I talked to Dave who owns the place (and who has also sold a car to each Dad and I), and he was happy to hear we were both doing well. Then I headed back to microcenter to see some of the people that hadn’t been working the day before. After that I went to my old schools to see some of my favorite teachers. At Troy High, I saw Mr. Mastrovito and Ms. Yax. At Boulan I saw Mrs. Griffith. And at Bemis I saw Ms. Charbeneau, Mrs. Buczek, and Mrs. Rekucki. And by coincidence, while I was at Bemis, Mary Doyle, Jake, and Brooke were there too. It was really nice to see them. After getting done there, I went to Oakland Mall where I saw my friend Robbin (she was my boss at Dapy, and she’s now working at Aeropostale). She found me some really good deals at her store, so now I actually have nice clothes again.
On Saturday I drove around for a while just seeing the old sites. Then Alexis came over to Sharon’s house for dinner and it was nice seeing her again. After dinner I saw my friend Meghan. We walked around Birmingham for a while (and yes, we were crazy for doing that) with some of her friends, the went back to her house to watch some T.V.
On sunday I saw Rhonda again, and we went to petco to see some cute critters, then we drove to Great Lakes Crossing and walked around for a while. After I drove her back home I went to my friend Brian’s house in Royal Oak. Robbin also came so it was great seeing both of them again.
Then unfortunately I drove back on Monday. I actually kind of want to move back to Michigan again, but hopefully that thought will pass.
