Baking!!!

So Lily and I always talk about wanting to bake and wear aprons but we had never actually done it.  I had just finished taking a big test and could relax for the night and Lily didn't have any studying to do either so we decided to bake! I think the baking was pretty legit :) We decided on Pumpkin Spice Cupcakes with Cinnamon Cream Cheese Frosting in honor of Thanksgiving.  They were absolutely delicious! We decided we must bake again soon and we also promised we would get better at icing.  But I think this is a pretty good start :)  Who knows, maybe next year Grandma or Curt's mom will ask me to make these for Thanksgiving since once you get married you have to bring something, ha!

All of the ingredients!! We displayed them to look like a real baking show :)

The finished product!

The beginning process! It was messy, good thing we wore aprons!

I'm learning, they will be better next time! But that frosting was absolutely delicious!!

Sorry for not looking the best, we had just finished working out.  We thought we would try and burn some calories before eating a gazillion!

Curt came to visit and a trip to St. Louis!

Curt came to visit the other weekend! It was so much fun and we were super busy all weekend!! Curt actually got to Columbia Thursday night just in time for BSU (Baptist Student Union).  Friday morning I went to class and Curt studied (I think..).  Friday afternoon Lily, my best friend from school, Curt, and I did a little shopping! And then Friday night Curt and I went on a date to Addison's (Curt's favorite restaurant in Columbia).  They have some delicious nachos!!!! Then a little bump in the road.  We had a long wait and while we were sitting Curt said he was getting a headache, which turned into a migraine :( So we ate really quickly and then he went to bed.  BUT he woke up Saturday morning feeling great!

Saturday morning before the football game (we ended up losing, bummer) we got to tour the athletic complex with 2 amazing tour guides, Lily and Chase!  (They are getting married next August)  We then got to go on the field before the game and then took our seats in the stands to watch. 

After the game we packed our bags and headed to St. Louis for the night to meet his sister Beth and her husband Ryan.  We don't get to see them very often so it was so much fun to get to hang out with them on Saturday and Sunday!  We went to a haunted house.  This was THE scariest haunted house I have ever been to! We then went to dinner and then hit up the casino for a little bit!  I think we actually won some! Sunday morning we ate at a super cute restaurant for breakfast and then headed back to Columbia.  It was such a good break from Columbia and it was so exciting to get to hang out with them! Hopefully I get to see them again at Christmas!

Cheesin' for the self-timer :)

After going through the haunted house, I was seriously scared.
