my new love

I have a new love in my life. Well it's not really new but something that I have found more joy out of now than ever before. What's this new love you ask? Well it is baking. Mainly making cupcakes right now.

Making cupcakes has always been a favorite of mine and everyone tells me that I am very good at it but never acted on it. Thanks to one of my coworkers Sara, she helped me realize that this really is my dream. Sara and I have signed up for a cake decorating class at Hobby Lobby for every Wednesday in September. I'm so excited about it! Ever since we both signed up for it we have been brainstorming some idea's for different things. My brainstorming right now is making different types of cupcakes.

Today I decided to make some white cupcakes with a strawberry jam center and a vanilla cream icing. Here are some pictures of how it turned out......







Please give me any idea's you might have for cupcakes. I will make them for you :)

Change and growing up

Its my last few days working at WKU and it just feels weird! I have been here for 4 years now and it feels like home. Yes I'm going to miss it but I think I'm going to miss the people more than the work. I have met some AMAZING people while working here who have impacted my life in many different ways. On my last day here I know I will be crying and very sad. Its so weird to leave a job that I have been at for 4 years.

For the first time since my junior year of HIGH SCHOOl I am only going to have one job. For me this is going to take a lot of time getting used to. I'm the type of person who stays busy all the time and not going to school and only having one job, its going to be kind of relaxing maybe. I'm sure I will fill my time with other things or get a second job. I just don't know yet what I'm going to do.

The idea of working in an adoption agency has been stuck in my mind ever since I decided that I was taking the semester off. I just have to keep on figuring out what I want to do and what's going to be best for me.

There are things in my life that I wish would just hurry up and happen but I know that I don't need to wish my life away and that God has a plan for when they will happen. I need to learn to sit back and just enjoy the ride. He is going to take care of me and won't throw anything my way that I can't handle.
