Bonfires over the grill

Rob and Christine planned a GREAT fellowship on Monday night....though our plans of doing a bonfire up at Wingaersheek were thwarted by melting snow, we still had a fun time roasting marshmallows over our charcoal grill, then exploring Barrington and eventually playing truth or dare in Lane!

A Sunny Saturday Afternoon...

Today is one of those days that is gorgeous yet deceptively chilly and really makes me miss this:

Road trips with friends?  

PB&Js?

Sun, Sand, and the Ocean?

Yes, please.

(yes, it's also my profile picture.  don't judge.)

Okay, so they're not real polas.....

but I like them anyway!

and i really love this whole blogging thing.  

and you.  i really really love you.  :)

Aren't these great?

I've been in a very crafty mood lately and have created a little list of things I want to make.  These just skyrocketed to the top:

Letters...

Dear plow/salt truck,
Please stop flashing your light and beeping outside my window.  There is a DUSTING on the ground.  Go back to your garage and chill out.

Dear Andi and the Fab Four class,
Thanks for kicking my butt every Monday and Wednesday at 8am.  I do appreciate it, no matter how much my muscles may not like you.

Dear professors of the Psych department,
Who ever told you it was a good idea to schedule ALL of your exams in the same 2 days?  They were wrong.

Dear (500) Days of Summer soundtrack and She & Him,
Thank you for making this week 10 millions times better.

Dear camera,
I'm sorry you've spent so much time sitting under my bed this semester. I promise to start putting you to better use.

Dear flowered headband,
I'm so glad you're in my life.

Love,
Betsy
