So I can't do anything normal . . .. .

I moved. It's pretty exciting. We did it the day after Christmas which kinda killed Christmas for me. I live on the 3rd floor which made moving furniture a super awesome experience. So last night I was blow drying my hair at around 8:30 and apparently blew a fuse. So it was pitch black because I have black out curtains and have no flashlight. I also had no clue where the fuse box was. So, guided by the light of my cell phone, I searched EVERYWHERE trying to find this stinkin fuse box. The most annoying part was that I had finally put everything away - everything was organized and pretty and I had to tear stuff out to try and search the walls. The only thing that I could see that could be considered a fuse box was this metal thing that said "GE Connection Center" on it. The problem was that is was screwed shut and was close to the ceiling in my closet. So, of course, I don't have a ladder or a screw driver, or a flashlight, so I ended up balancing on two chairs holding the cell phone for light and using a butter knife to try and unscrew the metal compartment thing. So, yeah, that didn't work. I ended up having to get my Dad to drive out to help. Within ten minutes he found the fuse box. It was behind the door of my room! I had kept the door open and if I had just shut it I would have seen it. I am such a winner.

So Katy got married!!

Katy got married in Los Angeles. It was a beautiful wedding and she looked gorgeous! Here's some of the fun times we had: (Click on the pics to get a closer look)

So life has been busy . . . .

**Totally stole the cake pics from my sister's blog. My pictures sucked real bad.**

So work has kinda taken over my life lately but it's ok because I just got promoted. So, yea! But I haven't had time to blog so I'll kind of catch up.

There are a few things that stick out from the last couple of weeks.
My nephew, Ridge, had his second birthday and I made a tractor cake for him. It was by far the easiest cake I've made and Ridge really really loved it. While I was making it he kept just sitting at the table saying, "Look! TRACTOR!!" to everyone he saw. So cute.

So, I also made a new hobby (apparently) of publicly humiliating my supervisor. It's kind of a lot of fun. Our team at work has certain stats that we have to hit, and we made a deal that if our team exceeded a certain number that he has to wear a shirt that I make. The front says "I (heart) Ken Chenault" who is the CEO of American Express, and the back says "Premium Servicing is my life". Premium Servicing is the name of our department. The letters are lined with glitter - which makes it super fun because we'll be finding glitter ten years from now.

So traffic school sucks and other amazing revelations

So I got a ticket. Big surprise, I know. And things have changed since I got a ticket last. You can do it online now!! I was super excited until I saw the million requirements when you do it online. You have to fax your citation with random signed paperwork, a blood sample, and pictures with yourself and the officer that gave you the ticket. THEN you have to have a notary WATCH YOU TAKE THE FINAL TEST. Then they have to sign forms saying they watched you do it. I would *almost* rather sit in a stuffy room all day with random strangers and watch car accidents on video. There is, however, a bright spot in all this. They sent a list of approved traffic schools online and the names of some of them are awesome:

*I may have exaggerated some of the requirements . . . . but the notary thing is totally true. How ridiculous is that? On a related note . .. . . any notary's out there that don't mind traveling to my house and sit in my room as I take the test? I'll bake you some snazzy cookies . . . .

So I just found these pics and had to share . . . .

Not too long ago my cousin Katy and I made truffles. Well, to be honest, Katy made them and I pretended to be helpful. I gave Ridge and Cambree some truffles to try. Cambree ate it very carefully and wanted to wash her hands as soon as she was done. But Ridge ate it s-l-o-w-l-y and made a HUGE mess. But he enjoyed it and was cute while doing it, so I forgave him. 

So I'm writing this on my lunch break because you know what I'm NOT doing? Eating this. I cooked it and holy moly. I was ridiculously hungry, and the box makes it look ok - and I love real chicken parmesan but it has approximately 32,000 calories, so I thought this would do. Yeah, the chicken was literally a greenish brown. Green is not flattering or appetizing on chicken - strike that - ANY meat. I forced myself to eat a bite though because this was all I had and I may die from hunger by the end of the day. (It could happen.) The chicken had not only the consistency but also the taste of rubber. Blahk!!! And the sauce I'm pretty sure is straight tomato paste. I would actually rather eat a pb&j sandwich than eat this - and that is really saying something. Any0ne know good Lean Cuisines/Smart Ones?

P.S. I'm dying of hunger here.

So, my new niece is super cute

My family and I went to Thatcher for Brecklynn's blessing. She is SO adorable. Here's some pics:
