Cake! Cake! Cake!

A couple weeks before I came home from school my sister Melissa texted me randomly and asked me what kind of cake I liked.  She went even further to ask about if I liked fudge or ganosh, raspberries or strawberries. Fast forward to last week.  Melissa started baking all of these cake, so I thought maybe she was making a birthday cake for me cause my birthday was coming up.  She told me no it wasn't for me, but for a project. Ok well, I was bummed out. Well, my birthday came and SURPRISE!! The cake was for me after all!  And definitely the fanciest birthday cake that has ever been made for me!  

 Two tiers...

Molded chocolate candy words...

With a raspberry bavarian cream fudge filling!

And it was the most DELICIOUS tasting cake ever!

Thanks Melissa!! You are such an amazing sister!!

Now we are on to making my Aunt's cake, but probably not quite as big as mine. Melissa said she would never make another cake again it was so much work, but she has such a talent she can't waste it.

Happy day.

I love Sundays.
Hands down, the best day of the week.  I relaxing at home with the fam, going to church and taking a break from everything that has happened during the week. I also feel like Sundays are the prettiest and sunniest days of the week.  I don't know why, but it always seems to be a little bit brighter and more cheerful on Sundays.  And, it's always the start of a brand new week.  This week will definitely be an eventful one...Hill Cumorah Pageant 2012 here I come!

Monday is my last day of work for a couple weeks. Yay for vacation! I am a swim teacher at Lucille Cowle Swim School and love being a swim instructor.  I love teaching all my little kiddos how to swim--they are all so cute and I love it when they learn something new.  Tomorrow is the end of the set, so this will be my last lesson with all of them and will definitely miss them!

Tuesday is departure day!!!! My family and I are flying to Palmyra, NY to be in the Hill Cumorah Pageant. 

What's that? I am still not even 100% sure. haha. I feel like I won't be able to really tell you what it is all about until I have been in it.  But yes, my family and I are actually going to be performing in the pageant!  This pageant is put on by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints,which I am a member of, and depicts scenes from the Book of Mormon testifying of Jesus Christ and the Restoration of the Church.  We, as cast members, get to talk to the audience before and after the show and answer questions/take pictures with them, etc. Now I know that is a very very vague explanation, so here's a link for you to check it out yourself if you want-- http://www.hillcumorah.org/Pageant/home.php :) 
Yup. It's the real deal.  Legit costumes, a GIGANTIC stage, lights galore, and lots and lots of people!!
I don't know what I will be cast as yet, but I am way excited to find out! Let's hope I am ready for all of this craziness to begin! :)

Everything starts on Friday, so my family and I will have two days to go to Niagara Falls and see other sights in NY!

I have so many blessings to be grateful for and so much to look forward to! Pictures and more to come on the HCP 2012!!
