(photo by Will Vastine)Still recovering from the fun and unable to form thoughtful, poignant paragraphs. Here's a breakdown of what I loved about these last few days.
* Mood lighting at the craft party.
* Painted boxes and shared stories.
* Representation from all four corners of the country and beyond.
* Solo pizza house adventure.
* Magical piano concert in the studio.
* Little boys who lick off the cupcake frosting.
* Leather covers, ice picks, rounded needles and paper cuts.
* Curly hair advice given and taken.
* Learning new slang.
* Crossing paths with Emma again.
* Chinese food runs in the rain.
* Secrets and truths.
* Dressing up.
* Talking shop and sharing sources.
* Adjusting expectations and forging ahead.
* Watching.
* "Just kidding."
* Crashing on the couch each night.
* Hugs and kisses at the door.
* Free ice cream at Braum's for Sebastian.
* Celebrating some of the men who made this weekend work for their women.
* Enjoying the sincerity and attention in each conversation.
* Hoping we can all catch up on our sleep.

Hey Rachel,

Julie,
I hope your visit to MSU was a positive one. Good luck with your search! It was really nice to meet you and your family as well.
Looks like so much fun!!
Hey Rachel! I hope you are recovering from the amazing weekend! I had such a great time and it was very fulfilling to meet everyone! So, what was the "Just Kidding" comment about? Probably me. I get nervous and talk a lot! I hope it didn't annoy anyone! Well, maybe it did if there is an inside joke about it! Love you all! Have a creative week!
Ashley,
Jari kept saying it because of the Saturday Night Live sketch of the travel agent that never talks about travel. She talks really fast and says 'Just Kidding' over and over and over. It's hilarious.
I just looked through all of your pictures. Good memories!
awwwww, looks like you all had an amazing weekend! loved the recap. :)
This sounds like s o MUCH fun! I wish I could have come!
