With summer coming to a close, it is a really exciting time for me. Usually, I am sad to see summer go so quickly, but in this case I am really looking forward to the year ahead. I move to a new house with a new family (my cousins) and start school in less than a week. My program is going to be strenuous and challenging to say the least, but to think that I will be an AMI certified Montessori teacher by next summer is so hard to grasp! For the year ahead, I am really looking forward to building relationships with women in my program (ALL 20 people in the program are women!) and getting involved in a new church family. My brother and I have had some great times and I have loved being here. I will miss our trips to the beach, hiking, our movie nights, weekly trips to the library, quests for candy, and bowling tourneys, but I feel great knowing they are going to be less than a couple hours away. Ahhh growing up.It wasn't until this summer that I actually had the time (and the kitchen space) to live out my baking fantasies, and I can't get enough! Since I updated last, I have made two apple pies from scratch (my neighbor even grew the apples), and my first batch of cupcakes completely from scratch. Madagascar Bourbon Vanilla with Blackberry Buttercream Icing... mmm mmm delicious! I have also decided that sometime in my future I am going to open my own bakery. The enjoyment that you can give someone with a little baked love is something that never gets old.
Goodbye summer, hellooo turtlenecks and sweater vests....
RULE 4: CONSIDER EVERYTHING AN EXPERIMENT.

So if I were to consider everything an experiment, would I keep that in mind tomorrow night when I finally make those pancakes that I had planned on. Um...banana pancakes they are, I'm going to see if I can turn that Jack Johnson song into a bit of tasty reality. Anyway, I'm really excited for you. Just one year, just one year of hard work and then you're in. Just remember, before then, before the year is up you have a group of 20 women that you can be a light to. So be it.
I can picture it now... You in a red and white checkered apron in a little oceanside bakery...Classic!!
As far as the car in my pictures, it is mine friends car, Doug. It was graffitted but we spray painted it white and let the kids paint it in our apartment complex! It was amazing.
You're my hero. I would like to try one of your cupcakes soon. They are beautiful.
Hey girl,
I love the look of your cupcakes! I got to try one at Kev's bday but I didn't know how talented you are aside from birthday treats, wow!
Yep, I have 6 kids and pray that one day we will go back to Ethiopia and bring home more....
