Final Late Tuesday Concert

Sadly, the time has come to say goodbye to one of our favorite bands, Late Tuesday. Jess and I trekked up to Bellingham for the final concert and met up with some of our Camano Island friends: Luke, Nate & Andy. It was great to see them again and to catch up on the latest gossip from one of my favorite places.

The concert was lovely but extremely late, so we didn't leave the venue until nearly midnight. We spent the night at Lucy's house. (Side note: She's one of our best friends and adds to our collection of friends whose real names are Jessica but have been assigned a different moniker to differentiate which person is actually being referred to. In my college career, I lived with 4 Jessicas-- no joke!) After a wonderful Avellino coffee treat thanks to Andy, us girls had lunch with an old roomie, Katie. We had such a relaxing retreat to Bham. As we were driving around the city, Jess and I realized how even though we love the 'Ham, we love where we live more. Bellingham will always have a special place in our hearts, but Puyallup is home.

Revival

I just get chills thinking about God and what he's doing in this area. I talked to a friend tonight from Bellingham and we both feel a revival coming. Bellingham is so close. The crack is widening and there is going to be some upheaval there. God is astounding us with his works, both here and there. Rise up people of God!

Cookies Galore

Our place is currently filled with the delicious smells of baking cookies. Do you ever just need to bake? That was today for me. I had the most wonderful afternoon of measuring, mixing, and creating.





I was having so much fun with the first batch (Toffee Chocolate Chip) that I made a second kind of cookie (Butterscotch Oatmeal) as well. After all, I have to maintain my reputation as Jessica's private chef.

Good Ol' Abe

This is amazing. Seriously, that someone would take the time to do this...

Snow

Anyone else hate the snow? Anyone? Anyone?

Play Me To Sleep

Jess and I have been listening to this song every night for the past week as we are preparing ourselves for bed. If you haven't seen this video yet, you need to check it out. An amazing project!

Soup Monday

This past weekend our parentals and selective siblings came over for feasting and conversation. We all had a grand time and enjoyed a myriad of tastes on the tongue as well as inappropriate jokes. The soup Jess made grew to larger than expected proportions, so we hauled out the big stock pot. Unfortunately, she has not been gifted vertically so she was forced to use the method below to finish the soup.
