When we arrived at his flat complex he was in the process to get rid of his rubbish. And he had his bull mastif/ bull terrier puppy with him. She is only 12 weeks old and she is a typical puppy with her legs flopping and flaying in all directions when she runs. So cute.
We had to stop at a nearby petrol station for Aaron so he could get some energy drinks. He had worked to 1am and then stayed up to 5 am so he needed them to wake up.
Then we traveled to.......... IKEA!! Yep, we have traveled all the way to Michigan, USA, to go to Ikea. I was really exited (I really mean it!). I hope that Ikea comes to New Zealand in the (near) future. They have so much nice stuff.
We had lunch there. Swedish meatballs with lingonsylt! It was like we were actually back in Sweden. We also bought some cinnamon buns that we planned to have for tea but when we came home we were all shattered so maybe for breakfast tomorrow?
After dropping Aaron off we drove back to Lansing via a outlet shop mall. Grant and I got ourself some really nice sandals from Merrell. The 2 pair cost less then what you would pay for 1 pair in New Zealand. Actually probably less then half the cost of 1 pair.
Dinner today was at Olive Garden, an Itialian restaurant. We had fun with our 2 waitresses. They were told that it was Marks Birthday (Happy Birthday Mark!) and by the end of the meal they brought him a plate with a chocolate mousse with the words "Happy 20th Birthday" written in chocolate. That was both cute as well as funny (He is a bit older than 20).
I had to take most of my meal in a 'doggybag'. As soon as the food arrived I felt full, so dinner will we organised for tomorrow.
Tomorrow we will go to a Salvation Army Corps only 1 1/2 hours away...
And then we will have to say farewell to Alan & Kim. Lucky we have Skype so that we not only can keep in contact but we can also see each other.
