I know I'm just full of announcements lately, but I needed to share this, especially since I found out that my dear Auntie Connie keeps up with my family from my blog. I <3 all my dear amazing family in Canada!
This cake was for my dear sister Esther. She is fourteen now! Her birthday was actually on the 21st but I didn't get to post that day. Sad to say, I didn't make the cake either! It was a lovely carrot cake with cream cheese icing.
Happy Birthday dear little sis! You are a beautiful, amazing lady and I love your heart for God!

Can I just put this as a sidenote? There's a reason people tell you not to use Q-tips in your ear. I learned the hard way. Meet my deaf left ear.
Also, I scribbled answers with pencils for two and a half hours this morning on the subject of News Writing. I'm afraid I did very poorly. I'm somewhat deviously praying that the professor who grades my test will have had a terrific morning with plenty of coffee, a lovely breakfast and be in a lenient mood. :D
Anything good happen to you lately? Or anything bad that made you grateful for the status quo? Lemme tell you, since my left ear plugged up, I haven't been this thankful for my hearing in a long time.

ReplyDeleteI hope your ear unplugs... It's really annoying to have a deaf ear. >.<
