The REAL cake.

This was my first and probably last attempt at a wedding cake. My roommate Sarah asked me to make her cake. I wasn't nervous about it until about 2 hours before the wedding when I only had one cake finished...haha. The cakes didn't make it exactly on time but I don't think anyone noticed.






I loved delivering the cakes because everyone jumped out of our way as we carried them through the reception to the cake table like we were pros. I also loved seeing people admire the cakes knowing that I, the cake-baker, was standing right beside them. I felt so honored to play such a big role in Sarah and Christian's wedding, thanks for the opportunity but please don't ask me ever again :)

Thanks so much to my roommates Emily and Michelle for helping me move and transport the cakes, and especially for calming me down when I thought all of the icing was going to slide off.
Oh and thanks to the weather for not being so hot that all of the icing would slide off.

Cake Practice

My roommate Sarah asked me to make her wedding cake. So I've been practicing. She did NOT want a green cake...this was for St. Patrick's Day. I sort of love it. And thanks to Pinterest for the ombre frosting idea.

Lady A

Cousin Whitney, roommate Emily and friend before our Valentines date to the Lady Antebellum concert.
Darius Rucker opened for them which was FANTASTIC! I'm not very familiar with his newer country music (but Whitney sure was!!) but I'm a huge fan of Hootie and the Blowfish even though they are no more. He played a few of the old classic Hootie songs.



This pink piano came out of the floor. The crowd went wild. Now I want a pink piano.

The finale party.

Such great music! My all time favorite was Just a Kiss and Darius's Only Wanna Be with You

Texas Y'all

Mom and I flew to visit the Morenos in Carrollton, Texas in February. We played Wii, ate good ol' Texas BBQ, shopped, went to the zoo, and we ate some more.



I miss these kids so much and also my sister. We ran together every morning and then she made us fresh green juice. I hope someday we'll live closer.

Thanks y'all for bein such good hosts!

Pretty perfect.

Perfect snowshoe day.




Snow sparkles.

Merry Christmas 2011

Remember when it was Christmas? Here are a few pics to remind you. Our Christmas was a little quiet without the Ben Randalls and the Morenos but it was still special.
