taylor, sara, & janel

today, sara came into town from good old hickory, so a casa grande date was in order with taylor and janel. afterwards, we headed to north cabarrus park to take pictures (duh) and see the horses. through a miscommunication, i thought that sara and janel wanted to bake a back-to-school cake, so we made a trip to food lion and then made our way to the kitchen. taylor and i ended up baking a cake with a little bit of help, but a nice uncc themed cake resulted.

end note: i think this cake would have been prettier in carolina blue.

jessica, erin, robert, & cake

today i met my two friends, jessica and erin for lunch at chickfila. after, we headed over to dorton park where erin's boyfriend, robert was waiting for a little photoshoot. i live with jessica and erin back in chapel hill and am lucky enough to have them both here in concord as well. the first pictures are from our shoot and the final few from my baking experiment last night.

over break i have been watching a bunch of "cake boss," so last night i decided to take a stab at making fondant and decorating a cake. the following pictures are what ensued. and, if i do say so myself, the cake turned out mighty tasty.

end note: until my creation is completely devoured, i shall say , "let them eat cake!"

mufasa

today has been a rainy day. so, instead of braving the elements outside, i decided to look inside for picture opportunities. and, who better to take pictures of than mufasa? mufasa has been been deemed majestic, beautiful, regal as well as many other things by my mother. he is the spoiled baby of the family. so, here is my post dedicated to my kitty.

end note: after all these pictures, my cat thinks he's a celebrity.

ben haven

today is new years day. i brought in the new year with several of my suitemates at charlotte's mountain house in virginia: ben haven. we had a lot of fun being back together, playing games, and just laughing. all in all, it was a great way to end the decade.

end note: the best way to end and begin the year is with friends.
