is what these last two weeks have been (credit for that word goes to this lovely lady). Absolute insanity--but such wonderful insanity :) Two weeks ago Joshua, Nathan, and I had the pleasure of traveling to Charlotte, NC in a van (yes, we drove from Saint Louis to North Carolina). We spent the week attending various aspects of the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship General Assembly, which was generally, pretty great :) In other news, I got to see this pretty lady:
My roomie from DC, Miss Mary (pronounced Miss Murr-ee, thanks to a little nine-year-old Rihanna look alike that we had the pleasure of caring for last summer). She is truly one of my best friends and it was so wonderful to spend some time with her :) She lives in NC, so we don't get together very often, but when we do, the universe explodes with awesome. Joshua and I already decided that when we have kids (a zillion years from now) she will be known as Aunt Mary. And they will have to learn to pronounce it correctly.
We returned from Charlotte on Saturday, did laundry, attended church, packed up again, and headed to Marietta, IL to attend Cornerstone, a week-long music festival. We camped out with Nathan and his girlfriend Laura and had a wonderful time. There were some days when we stumbled upon some theologically and politically questionable stuff, but it seemed that for every frustrating encounter we had, there was something awesome that outweighed it.
Like them.

Please listen to this. It is marvelous.
Now I am home for a week, without Joshua, while he is working at Blue Mountain Camp. I have oh so many plans for the week like:
-shipping an Etsy order! My first one who does not know me personally :)
-cleaning the apartment
-crafting and *possibly* adding some things to the shop?
-finishing up a few baby gifts for some lovely ladies who are just about ready to pop
-go to the new waterpark with my WONDERFUL friend Aaron, who I have not spent nearly enough time with, lately. I am quite excited.
-take pictures of the apartment so I can FINALLY share them
-take pictures in general
-make homemade ice cream according to this DIY. I'll let you know how it turns out.
-get pierced with my sister-in-law! So. Pumped.
Oh my. That's not even all of it. I can't wait. Hopefully with my immense amount of free time this week I will be more diligent about posting. We shall see ;) I'm thinking of adding a new feature to my posts: movie reviews. I L.O.V.E movies and watch a TON of them, so I figure it's only natural, right? Right.
Thanks for joining me, today! Keep smiling :)
Alyssa
