This week was a busy one for us. We had our usual class and work schedule, but we also had to attend a conference for one of our classes. The whole conference was on the church and it was very scholarly. It pretty much made my brain hurt. After the conference, we both had to go to class and then to work. By the end of Friday, I was exhausted from thinking and busyness. So we decided what we needed was a camping trip! We wanted to get away from TV, computers, music, noise, everything. Luckily, there is a great campsite only 15 or 20 minutes away from our apartment. When I got home from work, Ethan already had the car packed and we jumped in and headed out. We got to the campsite, made a fire, set up our tent and cooked dinner. It was fabulous! We just sat in our camp chairs around the fire and talked. Sometimes we didn't talk, we just watched the fire or the stars and simply listened to the nature surrounding us that God made and put there for us to enjoy. We were really able to relax.
Saturday morning, we got up, ate breakfast, tore down camp and headed home. We spent most of Saturday shopping for Ethan's birthday. We had a great time doing that to. It was really fun just to be able to spend the whole weekend just being together. We didn't focus on school or anything. Just each other. We are very thankful for this time to decompress and highly recommend a break for anyone who feels a little stressed out.
Have a fun day
