So lately I have been trying to focus on things that I can control rather than things (or people) that I can't. When I get an idea, I have started entering in my phone things I would like to work on or accomplish. I'm going to share this list with you so you can make sure I am doing it. :)
1. Exercise-and really do it, not just talk about doing it
2. Be a better friend
3. Practice the violin and piano to play in a symphony again
4. Don't be "that house" on my street with all the weeds and overgrown yard
5. Focus on the positive
6. Get a pedicure every 6 weeks
7. Be more outgoing and try to meet new people
8. Run my own decorative cake business*
9. Keep my house clean
10. Work 35 hours a week
Here is 10 to start me off. Some are defiantly easier than others, like the pedicure. The hardest one on there for me is totally going to be meeting new people since I am unnaturally shy. I'm trying really hard to work on myself so that I can be the best example for Payton. Obviously some of these things are going to take years, like he cake business and perhaps keeping my house clean, but I have all the time in the world. It is really crazy (and scary) not knowing what the future holds for me and Payton. Perhaps a little exciting.......
* Remember this?
I had toyed with photography before my camera got hijacked, (and yes folks, I WILL be getting that back one day) but I had so much fun with cake decorating that I would like to try my hand at this. I need your help though. I need practice, and lots of it. I don't even want to expose my thighs to the possibility of cakes piling up in my kitchen, so for $25 or less I would like to make a cake for your celebration. I am charging only for supplies (hence the "less" part) because I am not a professional. I really would just like the practice and to start a portfolio of samples. So for your next birthday, baby shower, anniversary, graduation, holiday, a Wednesday, but no weddings, (I'm not confident enough for that...yet) give me a call or send me an email and we can work something out.

I still can't believe you made that cake. It is gorgeous. I will definitley be calling you up to make cakes for me. I totally wish I had this talent, but I don't AT ALL. Did you take a class? Expect a call or something from me end of Aug/early Sept for Ben's birthday. And if I forget, seriously remind me.
That's awesome. I love cake stuff too. I took some cake classes this year at Roberts with some friends and fell in love with it. I have a friend in my ward that is very talented, you should check out her blog for ideas- buttercream.wordpress.com and another website I am obsessed with that randomly has cake stuff on it now is makeit-loveit.com
Cake decorating - how awesome! I'll definitely call you the next time I need a cake! You're very talented!
