What have I been up to? I went to MN for Labor Day weekend. It was splendid and completely too short. Thursday we left in the afternoon, arrived at Erik's parents' house. Friday morning we left their house and continued northward to their cabin. We had a wonderful time at the cabin. After sitting in the car so long, Erik and I both went for a run and then jumped in the lake. It was cool but nice and refreshing. And the best part - I could see my feet!!! All the way down to my feet when I was vertical in the water! That was so nice when you compare it to NE lakes.
On Saturday, Erik went fishing with his brother and dad. I sat on the dock and put my feet in the water - wow was that a nice treat. I sat in the sky chair and did some reading. I'm reading this book: A Thousand Splendid Suns. It is very good. I don't want to put it down.
I also finished up these three whales for Erik's cousin's little girls. Aren't they cute! 
Sunday, we left the cabin and drove to my parents house. We went to the Renaissance Festival. It was a really fun time! I was so happy to be hanging out with my parents! We had good food and a good time! We had a nice dinner at home and spent the evening talking until we were just about falling asleep in the living room. Unfortunately we had to leave in the morning. That was the crummy part. I really didn't want to leave. We will be back in a week, but it doesn't really matter it was just so nice and I didn't want to leave that comfort.
With the stress of traveling and no desire to go back to work, Erik and I were both a little under the weather. It was a strange and stressful week for both Erik and I. We are both glad last week is behind us. That is all I'm going to say about last week.
This past weekend, Erik and I got Chinese take out on Friday night. We got darts for our 'new' dart board from Mom and Dad's basement. Saturday we ran a couple errands and we rented the Rug Doctor. It was nice to get our carpets cleaned. They needed it so badly. We have terribly old carpet in our apartment and the carpet shows everything. Then Erik went and shot clays. I went on a few more errands. Then we had our neighbor, Abby, over for peanut butter chicken. It was a fun time. We played Mexican Train too. And of course we played with Jessie (Abby's oh so adorable dog) too.
Sunday we went to the farmers market, but mostly we stayed around the apartment. I worked on a present for a friend and got some extra sleep. Erik did some much needed laundry - that was very nice of him!
Today, I was incredibly productive at school. That was nice. I was surprised when it was already time to leave. I also found four jobs in Minnesota that I'm going to apply for. They are exciting possibilities!
So that is the story here.
