Selfie time. Please excuse the dirty hair, I've been cooped up in the house all week s-t-u-d-y-i-n-g like mad. The semester is almost over! just a few more weeks. I've been spending a lot of time studying in my bed, the weather has suddenly turned cold! It's finally starting to feel a little bit like fall.

Another reason it feels like fall? this pumpkin in our living room. no one carved it-- it was too hot, and all we saw were rotting pumpkins all week-- and now no one has the heart to toss it out. I love this little guy.

I drove to Baton Rouge with my friend Sydney just to go to the brand-new TJ's that opened last week. Did it take an hour and a half each way? Yes. Are we crazy? Yes, obviously. But it sure feels worth it when I can drink my Joe's coffee in the morning with my vanilla granola. When I squinted my eyes at the store I almost felt like I was in Hollywood (OR). Needless to say, we stocked up.

date night! We went mini-golfing with another couple (one of Mikes' co-workers and his girlfriend) at the new course at City Park. Lots of fun over the course of 18 holes. Each hole is themed with a New Orleans street, so there are lots of plaques to read and facts to learn. Love those facts.
