Birthday Girl

Veinte OCHO!!

I am grateful to still be in my 20's. I'm pretty sure I will be sad turning 30. When Todd asked me what I wanted for my birthday, I think he was a little taken aback by my answer. My reply was, "A sheet cake with buttercream frosting and roses on top." Yep, it's sort of a Ross family tradition (especially my Granny) to have that kind of cake, and it's been ages since I've had one. Because we don't have kids, we don't hit too many parties with this kind of cake, and I've been craving it forEVER. When we were in Guatemala and Brazil, I CRAVED buttercream! So, I was quite thrilled when a gorgeous, delicious, sugary confection appeared in my kitchen on the evening of my birthday :)

I was also presented with cake pops and a Hazel Hill apple, so either my husband doesn't mind if I gain 20 pounds in the next week, or he truly knows the way to my heart is through my stomach :)

Oh, and you'll notice a new fashion accessory :) On Wednesday night, the Mia Maids and our advisor, Shenai, showed up with a cake, music, and feathers :) So, I now have a hot pink feather in my hair, that I quite like. And yes, I DID wear it to parent teacher conferences...I'm that kind of rebel :)

Capping off my birthday is a wonderful four-day weekend that is almost half over already :) Yes, I am counting down to the end of this school year and we are anxiously awaiting to see how our future here in Topeka goes!
