Oh there you are Frankfort! I love you!

I'm basically going to call Saturday day one of my Frankfort life. It was AMAZING! What a beautifulalala day!! First thing, I walked to Java 429 right in town, which I have been waiting to open since the day I moved in! Then walked to the beach and sat on a bench for a half hourish and soaked in the beautiful Lake MI breeze. Awesome. Went home and did 3 hours of yard work cause I'm such a big kid ;) Ran to the beach. Walked down the beach and back. Ran home. Later I went to the store in the town over and afterward realized the sun was gonna set soon soo I went and played guitar (bc of course I take it everywhere just in case) at the beach in Beulah. Gooorgeous! That day was ridiculous and I would do it over and over and over! In fact - I will...ALL SUMMER!!!!!! Sunday was also incredible. After going to church and an amazing lunch at Crystal Mountain with a family from church, I went for a run to the beach - walked out and back on the beach for 75mins, then ran back when I got back to the lighthouse! I could have stayed outside forever...I just didn't know what else to do! So lovely though! I finally love Frankfort again :)

Quotes:
-In an argument with my student he came back with - "Bring it on girl scout!" which I just find hilarious!
-"I've been been dropping the f-bomb since I was in the 1st grade." "What? Where'd you learn to talk like that?" "School bus. The back. Duh!"
-Can't remember if I already put this quote cause it was a while ago...but a student was telling a story of a phone argument with his girlfriend and she was like, "Uh you're so predictable!" and he said "Oh yeah? Marry me. Ooooh bet ya didn't see that comin!" and then hung up! haha
-Student - "I kinda feel like there's an animal in my stomach clawing at my insides." me - "Oh I'm sorry." student - "It's ok He's havin a good time."
-Referring to a kid in the room... "I could picture him as a dinosaur, couldn't you? ...Dude you'd make the perfect dinosaur!"
-After watching a youtube video called cat on lsd... "It's like you feel bad, but it's so funny too. Dude that cat probably had the time of his life!"
-One of my students kept asking another to play something on the ukelele and when he wouldn't play anything he picked up a folder and goes, "Dude is this yours?" and then threw it on the ground. Then right away he said, "I'm just kiddin dude, but that's how mad I am right now!" and picked it up!
-I was asked to prom. About a 15 times in one day, actually...by the same kid. It was hilarious because he was totally serious and said, "Come on you could just pretend like you're a chaperone and then dance with me and take pictures and stuff." One of the later times he asked me in the hall - "Come on you've never even been to prom" Me - "Yeah, 4 times" Him - "Oh. Well then what's one more?" Me - "Oh I donno I think I cut myself off...WHEN I TURNED 24!" and then I slammed the door (totes just for the dramatic effect) and he's like - "Love has no age!" Haha oooh brother! They sure do keep it interesting! 

Did I mention that I love my job? Because although the transition has been a long one...I'm there :)
