Baby Shower

The Thursday before we went on vacation, I threw a baby shower for a friend at work. I did it on the same day as a wedding I did, which wasn't the smartest, but I spent the entire day baking and designing flowers. It was a crazy hectic and busy day, and I left the house a complete mess and then right after the shower I went to work at Frito Lay. Scott was amazing and got home late as well, but he cleaned up a lot of my mess. It was super sweet and unexpected. He is super awesome like that. Anyway, here are pictures of some of the things I did for the shower. It was a lot of fun, and I was pretty happy with how everything turned out. This is the invitation.

This was my first try at fondant. I used marshmallow fondant, and it was super eay to make, but it was kind of hard to get on the cake. The cake was super good though. It was almond with raspberry filling. Super tasty. It may not look amazing, but it was tasty. I also made Oreo cake bits and sugar cookies, but I guess I didn't get pictures of those...darn.

More Wedding Flowers

Here are some pictures of wedding flowers I did for a girl I work with. It was really fun. I was so excited to do a wedding without gerbs. I did one with gerbs 5 days later, but this one was colors people don't use a lot and it was fun to be able to use some orchids. Unfortunately my camera battery died, so the pictures we got were from Scott's phone on his camera. Here are some pics.

It's been so long

I keep thinking I am going to blog more, but recently I haven't had a lot of time, and when I do, I haven't felt like blogging. But here I am trying to catch up a little bit. I got a new job that has taken up a lot of my time. I started working for Frito Lay as a "detailer" in the evenings. I go to stores after my full-time job and I put product from the back room on to the shelves. It is actually super physically demanding and I am not as fast as I should be yet. I worked Wed, Thurs, Fri and Sat right before we left on Sunday morning for vacation. Because it was Memorial Day weekend the stores were super busy and I worked more than when I was scheduled. This week, I am scheduled every night except Wed. I am only scheduled for 1.5 to 2.5 hours per night, but I have taken a little bit longer than that so far. Eventually I will get fast enough. I am still pretty new right now. It is nice having the extra money to pay off bills, which was the whole purpose of getting a second job to begin with.
Scott also has a second job. It is something he can do on his own time. He is an independent rep for telecommunications companies which includes cell phones, home phones, home security, internet, and satellite. It is cool because he can get people the same services from reputable companies at discounted prices. If you are in the market for any of those things, let us know, and we can save you some money.
We are both super busy right now and working really hard. But we try to make sure and spend as much time together as possible. We have a hard time being away from each other. It was really nice to get away for a week and not worry about our jobs.
