Potluck & Pies

I have the greatest roommates at Xtrack! Halle and Kristin and I decided last weekend we wanted to "have a few people over" to our apartment. So we planned a potluck and tried to come up with something that started with "P" for a cutesy name. We came up with "Potluck & Pies" although none of us had much experience making pies. We put it on the announcement board, and plans starting getting a little crazy. We realized that "Potluck & Pies" would need to be moved out to the courtyard and that we would need more pies. By potluck time, we had 8 pies ready. I'm not sure if I've ever made a pie before, but I've now made 5 in a 48 hour period. But it was such a fun time!


About 60 people at my last count- so fun!

Olivia really just wanted to eat rocks.


I am so thankful for this time at Xtrack and for such fun fellowship. It's a weird feeling to be getting ready to move away from America, so it's incredibly encouraging to be here with 100ish people who "get me." And now I've got lots of new friends to visit all over the world!

Wow...look at you being so domestic with your pie making.
Your Shelby sure does miss you! She's been getting lots of love while you've been gone :)
