Our Latest Adventures

Jake and I have been keeping ourselves busy with work and school. I work Monday through Friday most weeks unless the school has a day off for a holiday! And Jake has had a fair share of homework over the last few weeks, but we seem to find time to have a little fun:) 

Our first

 major purchase here in Chicago after buying everything for our apartment was a new guitar for Jake! He has had is eye on this guitar for quite some time and he decided to trade in his two electrics for this one electric. It sure is beautiful! 

This is a John Mayer Fender Strat. It sounds great when Jake plays it! So as of right now, Jake has two guitars... an acoustic Martin and this electric. Hopefully thats all for a while:)

Our next adventure was carving pumpkins with our friends! Jake's old room mate Josh and his girlfriend Laura and Charity all came over and we carved pumpkins! 

This was Charity's first time carving pumpkins. It was so funny to watch her stick her hands inside the pumpkin:)

Here is our finished product! 

Doesn't he look so much like us? Jake is so creative when it comes to carving pumpkins. Who would have thought to put glasses on a pumpkin?

                                                                                  

Our latest adventure was with Matt and Shannon. They came to visit last weekend and we had a blast! We have missed them soooo much! 

We stayed up late playing Ticket to Ride and Sequence. Jake and Matt enjoyed watching the Office and walking down Michigan. And where were Shannon and I? Target of course!!! There is no Target in Newton so its a treat for Shannon to go to Target and it was a treat for me to go too since its not very close to  our apartment!

We found our new addiction too! It's called Berry Chill. It's a little shop that sells frozen yogurt with different fruits and cereal toppings. 

Jake's favorite combination is the vanilla frozen yogurt with blueberries, raspberries, and fruity pebbles! It's delicious!

We thought their spoons were really cool too! They are plastic and change colors when it gets cold! As you can see here, Matt and Shannon liked it too!

Well, this is a crazy long post but I had to write all of the things we've been doing! Hope you enjoy our blog!
