I am home and have been for a week!

I left Colorado at 3:45am, the plan of action was to get to my sister Brooke's house by 8 or 9pm the same day. That didn't work out so much! Turns out I missed the I-70 spur and added at least 2-3 hours to my trip. I stopped in Twin Falls and spent the night, left the next morning around 5 or 6am. Finally got to Brooke's house spent the rest of the weekend with her family. The Monday I came in, my friends The Hannah's, Shannon, Marissa, Kristen and Tori were all there to welcome me home. We went to the park and had some lunch and then Tori and I spent the rest of the day hanging out.
This last week has been fun seeing some of my friends. Murphy seems to be a big hit with everyone! I spent one day last week hanging out with my friend Hannah N. and her son Emmett, she came down from Yakima for a few days. Later that week I also hung out with Hannah B and her daughter Gracie. Gracie really enjoyed Murphy I stole a picture from Hannah's blog of them.
I have applied for some jobs and am still looking. Murphy had to go to the vet yesterday...I will spare you the nasty details, but he had an ear infection. I am looking for a Twin bed, the staircase at Tori's house is too short for a queen or a full to fit downstairs. We definitely tried, My parents helped me move my queen bed from there house to Hannah B's house. We took Hannah's Full size bed and it is seriously like 1/4 of inch to big for the stairs! So, basically they traded beds with Hannah yesterday and I am still on an air mattress!
Today I went to the Starbucks by Ikea and to my surprise found a girl I worked with at the Starbucks in Memphis! Weird huh? So, today I am job hunting, and that's about it. Here are some pics from my drive!

Leaving tomorrow!

Today I am running all over town to get the things I need for my road trip home. I need to finish packing and then pack my car. I leave tomorrow at 3 am to head to Lewiston Idaho for the weekend and then off to Portland on Monday. I am stopping for a bit in Salt Lake City to see a friend of mine from Church and Camp! I haven't seen her in a long time, I am pretty excited!
Can't wait to see everyone when I get home!

More cakes!

This weekend we had 2 different wedding cakes for 2 different weddings. One was way up on the mountain and had a spectacular view. The other was in town at the opera house. The second wedding was for Hollywood producers Bruce Cohen and Gabe Cotone, it was fun looking at the name cards because there were a few celebrities there. Hillary Swank, Chad Lowe, Kathy Najimi, Marissa Tomei, Judith Light and Zoe Kravitz were the names I knew. There were other names that I recognized but did know who they were. So I thought it was kinda fun that Hillary Swank would see my cake, She's pretty skinny so I don't know if she eats cake or eats at all for that matter. The first cake is the Mountain cake that I do so often and the second cake was covered in marzipan and had cherries on it. I thought they both turned out nicely!




Aside from the cakes I have been pretty busy with getting everything ready for my move. Murphy I think is getting nervous that I am leaving him behind, from all the furniture that was taken out of the apartment. We leave in 5 days!!
