Living life to the fullest!

I didn't have time to post about all the fun stuff from last week and now I've got even more from this weekend!

So last weekend, my church group had a "girl's night." One of the girls hosted us at her house and we had a blast! Here are some pictures...

We went to a pottery painting place - haven't done that since I was little! So fun!

My mug :)

We went back to Karri's house and made pizza. We had all brought a different topping and so we made some really yummy pizzas! Then we had a clothing swap... We all brought 4-5 things that we were tired of and put them all over her living room and then "went shopping"! It was great!

 We had fondue for dessert :)

Yay!

Then Wednesday, I went to the Cardinal's Game! CS40 had subsidized tickets and so Shannon and I went! it was SO MUCH FUN!

Our original seats. (We only sat there for one inning)

Then we just hopped around and sat on every level and what felt like every section!

Yummmm

The view from the top was amazing! The stadium is situated so that the arch is right over the outfield... it's awesome

It was so fun to be at a game where the team is actually really good! And the stadium is packed! Such a different experience from the Mariner's hahahaha

 So Friday night I went out with some friends to this amazing restaurant called Winslow's Home. It's this adorable little homey store/restaurant/cafe and the food was absolutely amazing. If any of you come out to visit me - I can assure you we will be going there! My friends have the group picture that we took, so when they post those on fb I'll post it on here! But here's my piece of pie!

And shannon's blueberry pie :)

Saturday morning I got up early and made a mini banana bread loaf :D It was SO AMAZING. No kidding. I'm posting the recipe for you all later because it was just soooooo good.

I also made angel food cupcakes with strawberry frosting :) My friend Helen invited me and Shannon and Melanie over last night for a sleepover. It was so fun! And so nice to be in a real house and to eat a real meal, at a normal table... ahhh! Wonderful! Anyways, I took the cupcakes over to her house :D

Today my res college had a BBQ - college council (which i'm apart of) put it on and so I grilled burgers for two hours! I've never grilled before but it was so fun! ha!

Gosh, i'm exhausted just reliving all this for you! So then later today, we went to Thurtene, which is this carnival that Wash U puts on. It's the largest student-run carnival in the nation! It's mostly put on by the sororities and fraternities. Each one made a gigantic facade... how incredible are these?!

 This is Libby and Melanie - two of my suitemates next year!

Apparently, this is like the first carnival of the season, so the "carnival company" brings out all their rides and tests them out and gets them ready...
There must have been like 12 different rides!

Well that's it! I've definitely been busy and have had so much fun this last week... now it's time to settle back down and finish out the year! Just one more week of class! I can't believe it!
