On May 13 I will be moving to Mount Pleasant. That means I have 53 days left in Grand Rapids. 53 days of gorgeous West Michigan sunsets. 53 days with my friends and family in comfortable driving distance. 53 days of knowing my way around and being the go-to-girl for directions. 53 days to soak in the goodness that is the city I was born in and raised near. I've been thinking about leaving a lot - don't get me wrong, I'm super excited to start PT school... but I'm going to miss quite a few things about the wonderful West Michigan. So, I am making a little "wishlist" of things to do in the next 53 days (half of them involve food - don't judge me).
1. Go to Grand Haven for sunset and give the good ole Nikon a serious workout. If Pronto Pups & ice cream are involved - even better.
2. Golf at The Meadows at least once before leaving Allendale.
3. Have a late-night adventure downtown with a trip to Yesterdog.
4. Breakfast at Marie Catrib's.
5. Eat at Panera lots. There are none anywhere near CMU. Tragic.
6. Hang out with (babysit) my favorite three (possibly four?!) kids.
7. Say adios to working in retail.
8. Walk across the stage at Van Andel & get my diploma.
There are so many more things - but in reality - I am wrapping up my last semester at GVSU and working ~30 hours per week. With only two weeks of "summer vacation," I don't want to be too ambitious with my list - because I hope to check everything off! Some of these are 100% guaranteed to happen (ie #7 & #8). Everything else - I need friends to do them with - so let's make some plans!
