Summer Things

School finally let out a little over a week ago, BUT it was a crazy first week off for me! My friend Allison got married this past weekend, and I had lots of running around to do to get ready for the big wedding weekend. I still needed to get my dress taken in, shoes, laundry, and cleaning taken care of before I left thursday for the batchelorette party, bridesmaids luncheon, rehearsal, and wedding weekend.

So now that summer had started, here are some things I plan to embark upon and hopefully accomplish during this summer...

1. I am taking a cake decorating class this summer. I finish level 1 this week and hopefully move on to the next level next month. My friend Natalie VanPelt and I are taking it together and it has been lots of fun! These are some pictures of cakes I have done PRE-cake classes, and I will get some up of the things I have learned in a later post!

(the first cake was a wedding shower for my friend Rachel, the second cake is a pampered chef wedding shower that was for Allison, and the third cake is from a baby shower for my friend Michelle who had her first baby a few months ago)

2. Paint the house. We had our final walk thru on the house, and the many people who need to fix things will be coming on July 2nd to take care of it all! So after that, we can paint! I am still in the process of picking colors, so feel free to come over and help out!

3. Krafts with Kelly - I will hopefully recover a stool that goes with a vanity I have from 1903. Kelly is going to help me with that!

4. Celebrate our ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY! We are going to the Biltmore the weekend of the 4th! Look foward to hearing more about that!

5. Spend time with our families at the beach!

6. Finish "The Excellent Wife" by Martha Peace with Kelly.
