yes. YES. YYYYES!!

hello hello helloooo!

Things are going fantastic, per usual. I recently have started taking cake decorating classes with Wilton cakes. Let me tell you, its pretty hard. Being a perfectionist when it comes to anything artsy even makes things more difficult. I made my first 9" cakes and apparently didnt follow through with the directions, since the cake ended up sticking to the pans. Epically annoying. Needless to say, I needed to bake two new cakes. With the help of Chris, going to the back of my Wilton book and finding cake baking directions, I learned the correct way of baking my cakes. In the end, everything worked out. Despite the fact Chris watched me mess up a few times and let it happen because he wants me to "learn on my own". Great, thanks babe. haha Finally, my cake was finished and frosted the next day. I also made my first frosting rose in class. woo!

This past Saturday was the Beaux Ball with all the architecture nerds. What an awesome time. The event was held at some place in Newport - right on the beach and with a carousel. It was great getting to dress up all crazy and dance my pants off with my best friends :) Almost felt like a way better prom. Below are a few pictures from the night.





Ive come up with a new idea for a painting. Im very excited to start it. However, I was at Michaels this past week and it seems as if they never have the materials I need. They're always out. Not to mention, why do they sell canvas... but no staples for a staple gun?! I dont understand. Anyways, yes - very excited. Id love to divulge some information on it but, Id rather it be a surprise :)

This weekend is supposed to be beautiful out. I have a cookout to go to with Chris and his sisters baby shower. Life is great!

That is all! Toodles.
