3.30
I can't wait until our day (well days), when we get engaged, when we get married, when we have little ones, and then every day after that growing old together. My Love!
Four days from now, September 30th will mark our 5 1/2 year anniversary. I can't believe that it's been that long, but I'm so glad to have shared so many memories with my first and only love, Eric.
I can't wait to see what memories are in our future.
I love you, Eric!!

Go Ravens!
Being from Baltimore, I have to root for the Ravens! I love game days and getting everyone together to watch and cheer on our team.
For the first game against the Pittsburgh Steelers, I decided to set up a party display for everyone, it was fun to put together!
I also tried to use marshmallow fondant again and I think this is my favorite cake so far!
It was so much fun to make!
GO RAVENS!
Pick your own crops and flowers
Eric and I went to Larriland Farm earlier this month to pick apples and flowers! I was super excited that he actually wanted to go, so it didn't matter what we picked, it was just a fun day. The apples weren't available to pick, but we did have fun picking flowers! Of course Eric picked most of them for me because I am deathly afraid of bees.
Ethan's 2nd Birthday - Phineas and Ferb cake
A couple weeks ago I made a cake for my good friend, Therol's little boy Ethan's 2nd birthday. His parents asked me to try to create a Phineas and Ferb cake and I found this one online that I wanted to replicate:
I have never worked with fondant and I will admit, I was a little nervous to do this cake first try and make it look like the amazing cake above.
My cake turned out a little different, but I loved it! I was actually really of proud of myself!
Here's my cake:

And one of the parents at the party asked if I create cakes for birthday parties for a living and might pay me to make his son's cake! **side business!!** YES!

Shine
I just purchased this cute pillow cover from Little Miss Momma's Etsy shop! I love so many different items in her shop, but I just had to get this pillow! $5 dollar from every Shine pillow purchase goes towards The Shine Project, so I'm really glad to help out the cause!
September!
First day of September, which means FALL is almost here! 22 more days to be exact!
2011 is starting to fly by - I say starting because the first half of my year was kind of a sucky one, so I just want to forget about it all together. The rest of this year is looking up though and I'm super excited about all that I have planned and have to accomplish:
- School starts on Tuesday! I took the last year off but I am actually pretty excited to start this semester. I am only taking two online classes, but that's plenty with me working full time. So now I have something to do at night while Eric is working late!
- Apple and pumpkin picking!! I seriously cannot wait to go to the local farm that I heard about from my sis and pick! I've never done anything like that, so I am like a kid when I talk about it!
- Cooler weather, sweaters, scarves!, hot chocolate, bonfires, moccasins, carving pumpkins, Ravens games!, spending time with my family and Eric, and the leaves changing color!
- Deep Creek Lake vacation with my family in a couple weeks! I have looked at pictures of the area and all there is to do there and it just makes me super happy to know that we all will get a weekend away from everything and just get to relax. A PLUS - Eric got off work, so I am beyond excited that he gets to go!! :)
- Taylor Swift concert in Oklahoma! Get to visit the soon to be parents Sara and Justin! for a couple days and also going to see my sister's best friend Lucy since she lives there.
- New camera! I am making it a goal to save up money to get a new Nikon D3100! Fall is the perfect season to take beautiful pictures.
- Working out and eating healthy!! This is a top, top, number one goal for me! I really want to get in better shape and feel good about myself.
- TRAVELING! With everyone going back to school and not taking as many vacations in the Fall, Eric and I can go on more trips together! He works for Southwest, so the benefit of flying together for free is great!! We have already been on 4 trips this year (mainly to Florida haha). I can only fly a certain number of times a year since we are not married, but I'm hoping in the next couple years to be a Mr. and Mrs.!! He was telling me about the shirt they have in the Southwest giftshop that says: "Marry Me, Fly for Free" and then on the back says "on standy of course" - that's so cute, still waiting on that shirt (*wink wink, Eric!)
- Dexter and How I Met Your Mother premiers! I'm addicted to both of these shows...can't wait for the new seasons!
- Halloween! Last year, I threw a party at my house for Halloween and spent a rediculous amount of money on decorations and my costumes (yes plural, I went a little overboard), but I had such a great time. My parents are thinking about throwing a party for their friends and some of my friends this year to put the decorations to good use again, so it should be a great party! I want to come up with a really cute couples costume for Eric and me too!
Looking forward to the next couple months :)
