This weekend was special because our favorite people from Grand Valley came to visit! (Taylor may contest that Dennis is her favorite, but she's not the author of this post, so her opinion doesn't so much count right now.)
My Muffin came to visit because we made a resolution that she should get to Ann Arbor more often than she did last year, which was only once--so far we're doing better.
This is what she looks like:
Muffin brought herfriend roommate Amanda Friend with her too! Amanda made her first trip to Ann Arbor last winter so she was EXTRA excited to be here when it wasn't cold.
This is what Amanda looks like:
Anyway, since Michigan was playing Eastern Michigan in football this weekend, it was really easy to get tickets and Amanda Friend got to experience her first game at the Big House. Even though it wasn't a very exciting game, I think it proved to be whelming enough.
Also before the game, on Friday night, we went to a party on Mary Court and Muffin and Amanda Friend won a game of beer pong after TWO rebuttals! It was probably one of the longest games of beer pong I've ever seen in my life. They found it particularly enjoyed it because they had to win a game of rock, paper, scissors first and they were playing against (and beat) Zack's frat brothers. Muffin also got hit on but wasn't so much interested.
On Saturday after the game we went to the MDen and got No Thai for dinner. Like usual it was really good. This was also the first time Amanda had Thai food--so many firsts in one day for her!!
Now we have an abundance of chopsticks. We're probably going to have an Asian party so we can use them effectively.
After dinner we walked to Cliff Keane to see the volleyball game since Amanda and Muffy both play volleyball regularly at Grand Valley. We watched Michigan defeat Texas A & M in 3 sets! Even though that kind of sounds like a blow out, all three were very close games. Now the two of them definitely know The Victors by heart--I would bet we heard it upwards of 100 times in a single day.
We went to Bubble Island despite Zacky wanting Pizza Bobs--it's a tradition that cannot be messed with! Muffin would have been beside herself if we didn't go and she hadn't been since January! (Foursquare told us so.)
After bubble tea we were all pretty exhausted so we just came home and went to sleep pretty early. Not very eventful. We're not really made to party two nights in a row.
In the morning we met up with Hiroko (a friend from high school) for breakfast. We were going to go to Afternoon Delight but it was SUPER crowded so we went to Sava's instead. I LOVE Sava's so I was happy! They were also having their first ever breakfast buffet; none of us had it though since it was too expensive. My nutella crepe was just as good for less than half the price!
Then...we went to Bigby and they departed for Allendale. It was really nice to see them for the weekend and it helped me forget the daunting amount of political science reading I have to do. Hopefully they can come back one more time before I leave for Senegal!

She delivered that puppy all by herself!

This is what Amanda looks like:
I don't know what she's doing, but the album title leads me to believe that this is from the holiday season.

Eastern Eagles....Hats off to you! Look to the sky! The Eagles will fly...
We're like the Blues Brothers--not actually the Blues Brothers.
