The best meatloaf in town by far is located in the town of Sterling Heights, Michigan, on a little side street with excellent shrubbery in the front yard and a dog peaking out the bay windows overlooking the street. In case you didn’t catch how much I love my dog in my previous post, the …

I’m a Pie
Wowza. I just jumped into writing that last blog, didn’t I? All you fine readers don’t even know who I am! Who am I to tell you about dreams and such when you don’t even KNOW me? So I will give you a small slice of Mikaila-pie so that you can experience the many flavors …
Summer of Adventures
With week one and two down, people are starting to get into the swing of everything and creating a momentum with classwork and other responsibilities. As for me, I’m figuring out a routine as well but I’ve also been reflecting on the summer and how quickly it went by. Here are a few of the …
It’s a Blast to be in a Cast
Alright, it’s been a couple weeks since my post about May Term, and enough is enough. I can’t say that everything about May term was absolutely fantastic. Or maybe I can. But I really can’t. But I kind of can. Here, let me explain… Two weeks into May Term, I went for a walk with …
Lots of “Lasts”
Well, this past month has been packed with so many fun events so I thought I would just show some of the highlights with pictures. Second semester senior year is filled with a lot of “lasts.” Last Spring fling, Chapel, Gathering, Classes, etc…. Even though it is sad to think that we will all be leaving …

These past several months have been filled with so many great memories: Bible studies, exciting classes, date nights, new friendships, reuniting with old …
Spring Break 2014 in California
Welcome back everyone! As mentioned in my last blog post, we just had Spring Break, which was greatly needed. This year I went home to California and brought my friend Lauren with me. Here’s a run-down of everything we did that week: We arrived in Southern California Friday night, and boy were we hungry since …
Spring Break Recap
Although the phrase “Spring Break” tends to imply warm weather, I must say I unfortunately avoided the opportunity to experience the warmth. With Iowa reaching into the mid-forties, I can’t complain that I got a taste of warmer weather than we’ve had around Holland lately… but I’m secretly a little bit jealous of all of …
Everybody’s Got One, But Mine’s the Best!
January 24th is an important day in my life. Well, not my life specifically, but without a significant event on the 24th, my life would not be possible. January 24th is my mom’s birthday. As this title says, everybody’s got one (one meaning mom); however, I am convinced that my mom is the best! I …

My Perfectly Boring Break
I didn’t go anywhere exciting for Christmas break, I didn’t really do all that much looking back. One thing’s for sure, though – it was exactly what I needed. The main thing I did over break was work. Over this past summer, I was fortunate enough to receive an internship from PVS Chemicals in Detroit, …
