Prayers going up daily from the sepulcher here on the university campus.
Do you ever just want to sit and listen to the waves lap against the shore? I took this photo way back in February while I was visiting family in southern Michigan. I finally got around to editing it and I tried something new while editing it. I'm super happy with how it turned out!  #puremichigan #springfun

Cozy but comfortable rental house in the popular Beachwalk community. Even though we rented in the winter off-season, the owner was very communicative during our stay. I would recommend this house to others, especially in the warm months, as the house is fully equipped for outdoor relaxation.
