On this day, one year ago!

Jeff and I got married! Can you believe it! I'm not suprised that we made it to one year but that it went by SO fast!! Someone said once, "life is like a roll of toilet paper, the closer you get to the end, the faster it goes". I think thats rather funny, and even though i'm not close to the end yet, I think it might be true. I dont even know where this month went.

Just in case anyone was wondering, I did get a few of the things that were on my birthday wish list (plus some that I forgot I wanted and was happy to get.) I even got a new CAR!!! It wasnt exactly a birthday present but came on my birthday weekend so I like to think it was. Jeff's grandma was selling her car and it was perfect (since we were looking to buy a car). She offered us a great deal (I like to think were her favorite grandkids but dont tell any of the others that!) and we drove up North to get it. We named her Hazel and she is a 2001 Chevy Impala (sorry no pics like i promised). We were originally going up North so Jeff could go hunting but after being out all saturday without even seeing a buck, I didnt have to sacrifice Hazels big trunk to a stinky deer! Since then we have been getting ready for Christmas and the big move. We were supposed to be in Dec. 1st but now were looking at Dec 19th or maybe Jan 1st (we dont know for sure). I've been feeling slightly disorganized lately thinking it will be better when we move and all my stuff isnt packed away in the shop. My winter clothes are out there!! I think i'm going to have to go on a search and rescue mission for my winter jacket since i'm sure were not going to be moved in before it gets REALLY cold!

Anyway, Today is our first anniversary and its been great! We still love each other so i'm sure thats a good sign. Cant wait for the many more years to come.

Yes, its another cake.

I know this blog is becoming more about my cakes than the lives of Jeff and me, but I promise the next post will be about our life. I'll even have pictures of our new friend Hazel. Meanwhile, I hope you like this cake I made. It is for a lady at work that asked me to make one for her grandaughter's birthday. The pink was REALLY pink but after about an hour of working with it, it turned into that weird skin tone (dont ask me why). So, its not as cute as I wanted it to be but I'm still happy with it.

Is It?

P.S.

My birthday is coming up soon and at the risk of looking a little too conceded, here is my wish list!

Cupcake books are always welcome in my home! There are some great ideas in these ones!

Cake Pans! Any size round or square. I've been using my moms and I need some of my own!

To carry my creations!

Anything from MAC. I'm going through withdrawls. Its hard not having a MAC store down here.

A new I Phone would be nice!

And Last but not Least! A new 2010 Mazda 3!! (to tell you the truth, any new car would due. One that runs maybe!)

Might be true this time.

For the past few months Jeff and I have been telling my parents that we are moving out! It was never an actual lie, we really did think we were going to be out. It first started with a house in R-town. We heared about it and the rent was super cheep! So we said we would take it!

"Mom, Dad! Were moving out! The end of September!! Isnt that great!"

Turns out, its a good idea to go look at a place before you say your going to move in! It was TINY!! No living room, nothing! I couldnt bring myself to do it. Where was I going to make cakes?

"Mom, Dad, were not moving out."

That all turned around when we got a phone call from low income housing. There was a place available on the North side (a block away from Jeffs sister!). The only downer was that rent was $785/month + utilities! WAY more than I wanted to pay! Oh well, we decided to take it.

"Mom Dad, were moving out! For real this time! The end of October!"

I was worried about having to spend that much a month on rent and utilities and both of us having to drive a long way to work and school. The day before we had to have the security deposit in, we heard news of a couple in our ward that were moving out! They have a great basement suite with low rent and we decided to act fast. Within a day, the landlords told us that we could have the place! Half way between my job and Jeff's school and only 1 minute away from my parents (and a great gas stove to bake my cakes!!!)! We could move in by November!

"Mom Dad, were not going to be out in October! But we will be out by November!! Great news right?!"

Well, its November and were still here. The couple that are moving out cant get into their new house until December now. But, as of right now, thats still the plan. I REALLY hope it all works out!

"Mom, Dad, I promise we will be out before Christmas!!!!!"
