Dear Boyfriend,

Today marked the end of a wonderful weekend together.

You were home from Boston for a long weekend and I tried to spend every possible moment with you. From getting up at 3:15am on Friday to drive to Philly to pick you up to staying at your house until almost 2am, I kinda sorta like spending time with you.

One of my favorite parts of the weekend was when we laid on the floor in your family room, 30 Rock playing in the background, just talking.  We talked a lot about the future this weekend; about a future shared apartment, future dinners cooked together, even a future puppy named after your childhood imaginary dog.  (I can't wait for that future, by the way).  My favorite thing about those little pillow talks?  The fact that we were planning a marriage, not a wedding.

I'm glad you're at Berklee and I'm glad you're learning a lot and that you love Boston (because I love it too!).  But I sure will be happy next time you're home again.

This weekend was perfect.  I hope it was just a glimpse of more to come.

Love,
Betsy

Weekend

This weekend has been filled with parties.  On Thursday, AJ and I celebrated Valentine's Day/1-Year Anniversary properly by going out to dinner.
Friday was my mom's birthday and I had two friends over for late-night, much needed girl time.
On Saturday, I went to one of those friend's bridal showers, and because it was my brother's birthday, spent the evening celebrating with family.
Today consisted of church/work and homework.  Ah, the joys of lesson planning.

One exciting thing that happened was that AJ surprised me with an Instax Mini for V-day!  I've been wanting one for a while.  I have a polaroid, but film for it is impossible to find, and I'm still working on a stash of film that expired in 2006, but that I got for free from my aunt's former workplace.

Unfortunately, all of my polaroids turn out something like this, due to the fact that I only have expired film.

Fortunately, the Instax performs much better, due to the fact that the film is NOT expired.

It's really a fun little camera.  The photos are about the size of a credit card, and they're fun to display on my bulletin board or taped to my mirror.  I'll definitely be sharing more as I take more photos!

How was your weekend?

Forgive me, friends, for yet another update via instagram photos.  

Can I let you in on a little secret?  These posts are some of my favorites.  

They're insanely fun (I looooovvveee this app), and insanely easy.

{i'm kitten-sitting. my friend, Jen, rescued this snugglebug, but she can't keep her, and right now, she's not home, so I'm adopting her for the week. she might not get her back}

{crafting! finally....}

{these last two are from a shoot i did today. i'll be sharing some of the shots here and on my photography blog later this week!}

It only took 144 hours.

It's baaaaaccccckkkk!

And this is my last post about my electricity, or lack thereof.  (at least until the next storm)

Now I can get back to enjoying fall properly.

I've got a busy weekend full of studying for the PRAXIS, 

a girls' night with two of my oldest & best friends, 

and a shoot on Sunday!  

HAPPY WEEKEND!
