Cake Decorating Class

Well, I am writing this to inform everyone that I will not be taking cake decorating classes. This may sound like bad news, but it is not. I decided to withdraw from the class because of a commitment to small group at church and the fact that I will be starting culinary school next month. Yes, you read that right...

I was accepted into The French Culinary Institute!!!!!!

I will be going through their Classic Pastry Arts program. I am taking the night course which is 3 nights a week, 5 hours a night, for 9 months. It will be a lot, but I am so excited!

Thank you to my wonderful husband and family who have been so supportive!

The recent killing of Osama Bin Laden has had many, including myself, wondering what the best response is. Today I came across a quote that I think is perfect.

"I mourn the loss of thousands of precious lives, but I will not rejoice in the death of one, not even an enemy. Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that." ~ Anonymous

(This quote has been circulated as being from MLK Jr. which apparently is not the case. No one knows who said it, but I still like it anyway.)

Cake Decorating Class!

Tomorrow I start a class in Basic Cake Decorating at Cake Works in Campbell. I am so excited! Hopefully, I will have pictures to post this week or next. Jason's co-workers should be happy because any cake I end up taking home will go with Jason to work. I can't have the temptation in my house. :)

Last week

My mom and sister came to visit last week. We had such a wonderful time! Maddie loved having Grandma and Aunt Lacey around. We went swimming, got together with more family, and went to Happy Hollow Park and Zoo. Maddie wasn't very good at taking her naps while they were here (she didn't want to miss out on the fun) but she took 2 naps per day all weekend. They tired her out! :)
