Your Quick Fix: Happy Valentine's Day!

So I still have tons to catch up on…but I thought I would post something fairly recent and work my way backwards J So yesterday was Valentine’s Day. Jared and I looked at our calendars and realized we probably wouldn’t be able to celebrate till this coming Friday when he finally gets a day off and we have nothing planned in the evening. Last night I had my second cake decorating class (yep, I’m taking a class offered by Wilton at JoAnn Fabrics. I’m loving it and definitely glad I’m taking it because I have lots to learnJ) Anyways…my class is from 6:30-8:30 so I knew I wouldn’t be home till around nine. I just figured with our plans for Friday, that I would come home, we’d have a quick low-key dinner and things would be great. But instead, my sweet husband raced home from work and cooked us a delicious meal (one of our favorites: Herb Crusted Chicken, mashed potatoes, and salad). He even fished out our tablecloth and candles. (Okay, maybe I helped him find those when I got home). But it was the sweetest surprise in the world to find my sweet husband in the kitchen with a big grin, great food ready to be served, and roses on the table. Thanks so much Hon for a fabulous Valentine’s surprise!!! I’m the luckiest girl in the world J

Oh and p.s. my cake class is going okay. Due to a power outage yesterday, my cake went into the oven very late in the afternoon, which left little time for cooling, torting, frosting, and getting ready for class. I was near tears as I drove late to my class because my cake did not look how I wanted it to AT ALL. But I was glad once I got to class. I had a great time learning and practicing with my new icing tips and practicing on my cake. Though my cake isn’t fabulous, I chalk it up to power-outages, being late to class, and heck, it is my first time J Here’s my cake, it’s nothing spectacular, but it’s my first and I can only improve from here, right?
