What we have learned in Michigan

1- You are allowed to turn LEFT on red.....as long as you are making a "michigan left"
2- You can't turn left on green.....you have to make a "michigan left" which includes driving 500 feet up the road and making a u-turn in the designated area
3- There are price stickers on EVERYTHING. My eyes hurt just looking in the refrigerator.
4- Ticks. They have them and they LOVE our dogs, so nasty.
5- Car insurance rates are through the roof compared to our Wisconsin rate
6- Schools here have Fall and Winter semesters, versus Fall and Spring
7- The sun hasn't been out for more than one consecutive day. Logan actually covers his eyes and exclaims "ahhhh, the sun" when we walk outside on a sunny day.
8- People drive SLOW; but the speed limits are HIGHER...go figure
9- Soda is Pop. Pop is Soda.
and last but not least......#10
We are enjoying it. We couldn't have asked for a better transition and are really getting the hang of things here. It is a beautiful place (where we live) and there is so much to do compared to Port Washington.
So, while some things are weird and different, we have really gotten along quite well so far here. We are truly blessed.

We have been BUSY!

When we first moved here I anticipated long days sitting around not knowing what to do with ourselves......well, much to my surprise, that is not the case! This month has been especially busy with visits from both of our parents, pumpkin farms, midterms and a nice visit home for some fresh cheese curds (and to see family of course) :)

Here are a few pictures of what we have been up to.... (more detailed posts to come)
