New Theme

I have decided to change the theme and action of my blog, beginning next week it is going to be Cupcake themed. I love cooking, baking, food network, martha stewart and other things of the sort...this summer I purchased this cupcake cookbook because though i love all of these things cupcakes for some reason have a special place in my heart! So i am going to bake my way through the cookbook....hoping to make 1 set of cupcakes each week - everyday would be expensive and time consuming, so after i go home this weekend and go grocery shopping with my mom =) then i hope to begin this adventure. I will also attempt to make note of different bakeries and their special cupcakes, ones that i have tried and ones i hope to go to some day! I will, I am sure to continue to throw in a little here and there about my life - but sense it is really not that exciting maybe this will give me more focus!

hope everyone has a wonderful day!! =)

some wedding pics

Who needs a bouquet anyway...

So, i of course have not blogged in forever and i would like to give blame to the fact there there was midterms, papers, and not to mention my sisters wedding. Thus it has been quite a busy couple of weeks. ( i swear one day i am going to jump back on that whole cupcake blog thing...) But the wedding went well and nothing major went wrong..the weather was beautiful which was quite a blessing since it was like a 70% chance of rain!

i guess there was one small mishap that is quite humorous...the ceremony had begun and i had just walked down the aisle being the last one as i was the maid of honor, i see callie come out of the doors and looking as such a beautiful bride but i notice something is missing...she didnt have her bouquet!! I notice it immediately but am already down the isle, i begin to subtley shake mine hoping she will see me and i guess run back in and get it...but nope! she walks down the isle we go through the ceremony...and after we exit i go "hey cal, i will go get your bouquet so we can have it for pics.." and she responds with "WHAT, i didnt carry my bouquet" hahaha she didnt even notice and after she began to fret and i claimed it didnt matter it would be in all of the pictures and blah blah blah...but it was just funny! How do we forget the bouquet...it was quite gorgeous though.

but hey, if that was the biggest issue....Oh Well!!

How deep the Father's love for us

How deep the Father's love for us,
How vast beyond all measure
That He should give His only Son
To make a wretch His treasure

How great the pain of searing loss,
The Father turns His face away
As wounds which mar the chosen One,
Bring many sons to glory

Behold the Man upon a cross,
My sin upon His shoulders
Ashamed I hear my mocing voice,
Call out among the scoffers

It was my sin that helf Him there
Until it was accomplished
His dying breath has brought me life
I knoww that it is finished

I will not boast in anything
No gifts, no power, no wisdom
But I will boast in Jesus Christ
His death and resurrection

Why should I gain from His reward?
I cannot give an answer
But this I know with all my heart
His wounds have paid my ransom


Just really letting these words sink in...what incredible lyrics

studying, baking, blogging

Well as always i have failed to continually update this blog but i have been quite busy plus fighting sickness between sinus' and all the other junk going around.

I am about to head to the grocery store in attempts of making "five layer bars" recipe courtesy of Paula Dean for tomorrow nights Greys Anatomy Season Premier! Woohoo I am so excited, hopefully my dessert will turn out good as well. I will post more on that tomorrow but until then, the picture above is what they are supposed to look like..haha!!

Callie is getting married in 2 and 1/2 weeks...(sidenote: i am the most emotional person ever) and i have already begun to get sad thinking about my sis all grown up. i will probably be a huge basketcase on that day but i guess that is what waterproof mascara is for. she has taken her bridal shoots and they were gorgeous now im working on a lil something special for them at the rehearsal dinner and its just a sappy time! Oh well, i guess emotions arent always a bad thing - except maybe if your like me and cry watching the biggest loser (crazy emotional show)

okay off to grocery shopping, work at the nursery @church, The Well, and then more studying for my Special education class test tomorrow -(IEP, NCLB, and 504's wooohoo!)

apologies

I give my apologies to all who read this ....so to you Elizabeth (my roommate I might add...) that I am officially the worst blogger in the world. I get on to read and just claim i will update later but it never happens..

would it sound better if i say that i am just so consumed with studying and school i have no time to blog...i am busy but i cant claim that that is my lazy excuse! Anyway...things have really been rockin and rollin with football season underway and tests and all ther other exciting things that go along with it. This weekend the stanfords are coming to visit for the game, which i am happy for its always a pleasure to see some familiar faces and next weekend i will get to see my dad, my sister and my mom so i am really excited for that!

I had this desire to (stealing from Julie&Julia) that i was going to bake my way through this cute little cupcake cookbook i bought this summer...it is solely cupcakes there is only a slight problem to these great ambitions...and its called the lack of funds and lack of ability. But i am thinking about doing it slowly like once a week or something...who knows we shall see.

and once again i apologize for my horrible blogging abilities.

Cupcake Eater

So this might be random but i was realizing that i have 3 followers...yep 3 whole followers and one of them by the name Cupcake Eater and sadly I cannot remember whom it was...can anyone answer this???
