Yes, Pure Michigan

Is it Spring yet?  Nothing says a fresh, New Year better than the tease of spring.  Having been born on the first day of spring, which depending on which calendar you’re looking at could be fact or lie, I’ve always been fond of the season of new beginnings.  Don’t get me wrong, I’m not one of those individuals who hates winter and complains every time a snowstorm blows in, however this late in the winter season, I think it’s only normal for people to be waiting, wishing, hoping for a change in season.  After all, that’s what is so great about living in Michigan, the change of seasons.  Winter, spring, summer and fall are all prevalent in this great lakes state, reason 106 why I love living here.  Despite popular belief, it’s not winter here 24-7 and we actually have some of the most beautiful summer destinations around, including but not limited to the Sleeping Bear Sand Dunes in northwest Michigan, which was recently voted Good Morning America’s number one  ‘most beautiful place in America.’  Despite our lackluster economy, Michigan is comprised of so much more than the auto industry and home of the great lakes.  Michigan is an extremely diverse land and population, complied of: yoopers from the Upper Peninsula, the entertainment mecca in Detroit, little Bavaria in Frankenmuth, the Mighty Mac, four pro-sports teams and countless areas throughout the entire state, rich in history and pride.  To me, Michigan is a place I’m glad to call home.
