The Day of the Cardinal

So today while Steve and I were leaving to go to the grocery store, we spotted a big, fat, bright red cardinal sitting on my bird feeder outside my living room window! I have been waiting for a cardinal to land at my feeder! I was so excited to see it! I hope it comes back and brings its friends! Seeing that cardinal today made me so happy! :) Hope everyone else is having a splendid Friday!

The Holiday Season

I cannot believe Thanksgiving is already over! My Thanksgiving break just flew by so fast! I had a lot of fun though! When I get home I went and saw New Moon with Laura! It was really good and I did end up crying...I am such a big baby! :) The next day I went to the Fox Theater in St. Louis with Steve and his parents. We saw a musical called In the Heights. It was great and the music was awesome! During my break I was also able to get together with my friend Gina! It was nice to get to see her again. We went to the mall to eat lunch and shop!



Before Thanksgiving we always decorate the house for Christmas! So we have all of our Christmas trees up and all of the other decorations! I managed to take a few from home to decorate my apartment with :)



Thanksgiving was great! It was nice getting to see my family and my cousin Kelsey who I hardly ever get to see! We had so much fun feasting and playing games! :)

Well now I just have to get through the last few weeks before I have a month long break for the holiday season! I hope everyone else had a splendid holiday!

An Afternoon Adventure

On Saturday, Karlee, Margaret, Steve and I all went to Three Creeks Park to go for a walk and explore this awesome cave! After a long walk back to our cars, we unloaded a cooler of food and drinks and took it with us to this awesome clearing in the woods and made a bonfire! It was so much fun! We cooked hot dogs and pork 'n' beans over the fire and also had some chips and string cheese for dinner! It was yummy...and for dessert we had strawberry marshmallow and white chocolate s'mores! They were delicious! Hope everyone else had time to enjoy the nice weather over the weekend!



We found an old plow! We were going to have Punch pull it, but then we decided Steve was a better idea! :)



Awesome bouncy branch! :)



Cooking some dinner! Yum!

This past weekend was Mizzou Homecoming! Laura, Natalie, and Ryan ( Natalie's boyfriend) came in town to spend the weekend with Steve and I. Laura and Natalie spent the night at my place and Ryan spent the night up at Steve's. We all had a good time! On Friday night we all went out to the Heidelberg, a well known restaurant in downtown Columbia. It was yummy! :) It was a really excellent weekend!



Last Thursday Margaret, Karlee, and I all went to see Steve in his play! He was so good in it! I was super proud of him! He did an AWESOME job!

This Tuesday Margaret, Karlee and I plan on carving our pumpkins! I am excited! We are going to make scary pumpkin faces and then bake some pumpkin seeds! We are also going to try and see "Where the Wild Things Are" It looks pretty good!

Well I hope everyone had a good weekend. Hopefully all this rain will stop for Halloween!

Excitement!

I went home this past weekend for my cousin Julie's wedding. It was nice to get to see my dad's side of the family! We hardly ever get to see them. The wedding was very beautiful and the reception was really fun. It was held at the Lemp Mansion Carriage House. I also got to see my little second cousins for the first time. They are so cute!


I am going to see Steve in his play on Thursday night with Karlee and Margaret! I am so excited to see him perform. He has the lead in both of the short plays!

Since I was home I also got the chance to see all of our Halloween decorations in our yard. I love Halloween it is so much fun! I also put a few more Halloween decorations up in my apartment that Laura and I made over the weekend! I hope everyone is having a great week!
