WOOO HOOO!! School's done for the Summer!!

So Yippie!!! I am done for another semester! and it was a toughie! Whoever thought OF cramming Torts and Contracts into a summer session was seriously demented. I mean, products liability and defamation alone should get their own course. Well, at least the way my professor taught it they should. And what the tell was up with that Contracts final!? I thought we took Contracts, not employment law!

Anyway, sorry. I had to vent. It's been a crazy couple of weeks/months since I last posted. Since the last posting, obviously summer school started, but so many other great things happened too!

Carady, my sister-in-law had her baby shower and I hosted. I did a pretty good job too if I do say so myself. I really am trying to be Martha Stewart... I made favors and everything! Her theme was honey bees and Winnie the Pooh. It was absolutely perfect and she racked up a ton of gifts which made me infinitely happy. We don't know what the baby is yet, so I'm not sure if I am going to have a niece or a nephew, but regardless, I am ECSTATIC. Here are some pics.



No, unfortunately I didn't get to make those cupcakes. They are from Crave Cupcakes, which in my opinion, is the best place to get cupcakes in Houston... well, aside from my cupcakes that is :) That lovely cake is from Whole Foods. They make really good cakes too. I don't know what that one is called, but holy cow! It's scrumptious.

Anyway, the shower was in June... so fly by a few more weeks and the (future) in-laws came in town to celebrate 4th of July with us. It was wonderful. I love seeing them. We spent Memorial Day with them in Memphis and I absolutely fell in love with Glenn's nephew Brady. Goodness gracious, I had baby fever that entire weekend.

As I was saying, July just FLEW by. My bestie, Amaris, celebrated her birthday this month too. Here are pictures of her and her cake... yes, I made that one. Thank you for recipe, Martha!

It seems everyone loved that cake too. I've had several requests for me to make it again. That makes me happy, however, that cake was time consuming! Squeezing each freakin' lemon... Thank God my wonderful boyfriend got me a lemon juicer!

So anyway, those are the biggies... Oops, almost forgot! My birthday is in 5 days!! Oh, and we are leaving for California in 6 days!!! And another thing... we are moving in together!! Isn't that crazy?! I am so absolutely in love... I just can't believe how things have just done a 180 in such a short year. Anyway, we are moving in together like in 2 weeks, as soon as we get back from Cali as a matter of fact. I will be sure to upload a ton of pics from my birthday festivities, the trip and the move.

Lots to catch up on! But for now, I'm off to bed. Crossfit at 6:00am sharp.

XOXOXOXOXO.

Holy Balls! This Summer flew by...

Wowie. I just realized I haven't posted in almost 2 months. Time to get crackin.... actually, I have to avoid the blog a little longer. Summer school is not quite over yet and finals are (eek!) next week. Here's the official countdown for the rest of the summer, just FYI: 8 days til summer school ends, 13 days until my birthday, 14 days til our vacation/road trip in California, 21 days til we move in together. Man, time flies when you are having fun.

I will post pics as soon as everything cools down.
