Last week I got back to Grand Rapids to visit my family and friends one last time. This summer my family has decided to move back to Europe and join me in the Netherlands. I’ve been enjoying my time here eating a lot of sushi, pizza and tacos. Probably my favorite foods especially sushi…One of my fav restaurants here is called Maru and I probably ate there about four times these past days. So they really be getting a lot of money from me haha.
My friend Libby joined my for my first sushi lunch, it was great to see her again.
If you know me then you know I always get the same thing at restaurants haha and at this one it’s the crouching tiger roll which is basically a california roll but a lot more exciting.
I’ve also been eating a lot of pizza haha. This was from a dinner at another good place called Terra where we went with my friend Lea and her family before heading out to watch comedian Bill Maher.
The first few days that I was here, the weather was honestly a little gross and grey. But finally it cleared up and I managed to spend the day at the pool. Unfortunately I did not manage to avoid a sun burn and after about 5 hours laying out I had turned myself into a lobster. I must say I’m still kind of in pain haha, but luckily I have aloe which I’ve been covering myself in.
Today we headed for the beach to celebrate my friend Sarahs birthday. Sadly we didn’t stay at the beach for too long because the weather got kinda cold but we still managed to have a fun day.
Since this was my last time coming to Grand Rapids and it being my official home I decided it was necessary to get my hair done one last time with my hairdresser. She is a super sweet girl and does the most amazing job. Last year I got baylage for the first time and I love it so I decided it was time to refresh it. I also got a cut because my ends were just getting too bad… haha
The saddest moment this past week was probably when the container arrived at our house. My family had been living in Grand rapids for five years and I think we were all quite sad to see it come to an end. Of course it is always for the best and now we will finally be closer to our family but it’s still unfortunate as we’ve all really created a life for ourselves here.
