Cupcake delight

I made cupcakes for McKenzies birthday yesterday. I love having an excuse to make cupcakes and to experiment a little. Not that I really need one, but that way I don't eat sweets all the time! They were chocolate fudge cupcakes with a cream cheese filling and cream cheese frosting.



They were so good! My family loved them! All but two of them were eaten by the time we left last night which is a good sign.

Farewell Brad!!!



Today we dropped Bradley off at the airport. I am really going to miss him. But I am so proud of him. He is such an amazing guy. People flock to him. Us as a family couldn't get a moment alone with him last night because he had a continuous flow of friends coming to bid him farewell. He is so loved and he gives off so much love. Even though you can't see this, good luck Brad and see ya in 2 years!!!

New post!

New post on NFP!

Bradley's farewell talk was last Sunday. Skyler and I sat front and center (almost). I wanted to be able to see him up close and Skyler probably wanted to be able to make faces at him. There was another missionary speaking also. Brad gave an awesome talk. It was an emotional sacrament meeting for me.

Then we went to the house for some grub. My mom took the pressure off herself of making the main course by ordering lots of Cafe Rio. That went over quite well. Then she slaved in the kitchen making endless desserts. Other kind souls brought other dishes as well, so there was plenty of delicious food. I took lots of pictures for brad, but here are a few of the occasion.


He leaves Tuesday. I'll probably post more pictures then if I don't look like a cry baby in them.

(about me) Facts of the day

I had an awesome day at work.

I'm too lazy to make dinner tonight (and most of the time for that matter).

I just want to eat out. I'm sad we've already spent so much money eating out this week that we can't go out when the weekend comes!

I wish our apartment wasn't so freezing lately!

I'm happy I bought some hawt jeans today!

I'm disappointed that I saw a gorgeous hazy sunset on my way home from work that was just calling my name to get a picture, but I was too exhausted to grab the camera and go back out. bleh

Celebrating the New Year

"Every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end" - Seneca (& Semisonic)


We rang in the new year with a few friends, Cassie and Alec. We ate a monster pizza, played some games and watched the ball drop in New York on tv. Thanks for celebrating with us!
