The excitement is building around our home as the date approaches for our next move. Since we had to come back to the States early for medical reasons , my parents have so graciously shared their home with us. We’ve lived in their basement since the end of April as the house we own has been tied up in a lease for the length of time we were supposed to be gone. The tenant is and has been a big blessing and we are thankful for his taking good care of the house and, of course, always paying the rent! It’s only a couple more weeks before we have possession again and I have no idea what the state of this blog will be in for a while with the moving, unpacking, trying to keep up my payingday job, etc. But, as you can see, I am extremely excited to move again (I weirdly love it), open all of the boxes that have been stored for 2 years, and get settled in to our own home. Plus, I bet los padres would like their basement back, too… Saturday, as I mentioned before, was the big Thirty-One for Husband! I went with the “theme” from last year, if you want to call it that. I wanted to make a simple cake but decorate half saying “Go Ducks” for the Rose Bowl that day and the other half “Happy Birthday.” As soon as I began to write “Go Ducks,” I realized my homemade frosting was too runny. Call me a bad wife who can’t really decorate cakes but I tried. Heh. So I just dotted the rest of the cake and took a blurry picture!
This year, I wanted to try using cake decorating tips for the first time ever. Trust me, I’ve never read an iota on cake decorating so I had no idea how this was going to work! Well, it ended up better than last year and the final picture was slightly less blurry, so I call it a success. Oh, and those aren't holes in the frosting - i attempted putting yellow sprinkles on (green and yellow... Oregon... Ducks... ) but forgot till the frosting was too hard. Haha, good grief.
At this rate, next year’s will probably knock your socks off! J
Happy Monday, everyone!
