Cheeseburger Poisoning

So, made you look! I felt it was beyond time to start a blog, so here goes--this is my first post. This past weekend was an absolute whirlwind, but one of the best weekends we've had in forever. We headed up to Caseville on Friday for the famed "Cheeseburger in Caseville" festival (for the few people out there who don't know about this monstrosity, two weeks chock-full of Jimmy Buffet, beer, crazy parrot hats, and cheeseburgers in an otherwise sleepy resort town). We had a great time, and devoured incredible portobello pesto burgers from The Farm (one of my all-time favorite restaurants). The next day, I ran the Cheeseburger 5K Fun Run, which was great. It was so much fun to see so many old friends. Mom Green and Frodo came to cheer me on, which was awesome! Later that afternoon, Andy and I headed down to Royal Oak to pre-party at Paul & Kristi's house before the big Poison concert. Luckily the rain held off and we had a blast! Bret's throat was shot, I guess, so he pawned most of the songs off on CC. They still played a great show. The next day we had breakfast at Pronto (one of my favorite spots in RO) and then hit up Great Lakes Crossing, where I was able to score a pair of Sevens for half off! Very exciting...Last but not least, Josh and Jenny, our good friends and former roommates from dental school, came over last night. They were in town visiting family and are about to move from the East Coast to South Dakota (I know, quite a change!). It was so great to see them, and we enjoyed catching up and playing Rock Band. The only bummer thing about the weekend was that we had to miss Drew & Kelsey's going away party in Lansing. I heard we missed a good time. Otherwise, it was a perfect weekend!
