My first wedding cake! My mom and I worked on it together and I "designed" it. haha. The design I was trying for didn't work out, our layers were not doubled so its not as thick as the cake used for the design I was going for. We bought ivory icing color to tint our fondant and I love how it looks. Its a white cake w/strawberry cream filling. It took a lot of work, but not as bad as I thought. I shouldn't have a problem making my 30th birthday cake or Maddy's 1st birthday cake. I want to try to practice as much as possible so I can get better and better.

Nothing much new happened over the weekend. We went to see the Martha Stewart KB homes in Lancaster just for design ideas. WOW. They are priced from the low to high $200k's (amazing!) and we also saw the Desert Rose by John Laing homes, gorgeous! They are priced from the low $300k's! I took my parents back to see both today and they loved them. We are really trying to sell them and Fabians parents on moving out to the AV. I think people don't realize you can buy a gorgeous new home and not live in the woods and stay in the state of California, without having to move out of state! I swear people must think AV is 2 hours from LA when its only 45min from the valley and about 60 minutes from every other part of LA. And there is so much to do out here, I really love it. Even if I had 3/4 million dollars to buy an average, small, not new home in LA, I could never do it. I'd much rather get my money's worth and have a new home, nice neighborhood, great schools, friendly people, new stores and restaraunts and LA a hop, skip and jump away. I really wish I could convince all my friends to move out here too! : ) The prices won't last though, its totally under priced right now. More people from LA are discovering it and soon the prices are going to be outrageous, just like Valencia/Santa Clarita, etc.

See, nothing personal, nothing happened over the weekend! : ) xoxo

Updates on us, life....

We went to Preston's dedication Friday, it was so cute. And the lead singer of the worship team at their church is none other than Michael North, the lead singer of the Shushybye Band that Maddy watches at night on Babyfirst TV (premium directv channel, like HBO for babies, haha). It was so funny, Fabian and I recognized him right away! His voice is SO beautiful!! http://www.shushybye.com/

Mother's day was awesome as well. I went to church with my family and it was nice. It was a good sermon as well. Madison is doing great, just grabbing and pulling everything and rolling like crazy! Her new obsession is all things paper or plastic! I have to watch her like a hawk!

Oh and my computer died along with all the files on it! First my cell, now my comp! I'm going to see if the hardrive can be saved. I'm using Fabians laptop now.

Arrrrgh, so our townhouse is flooding today! I woke up and came downstairs and notice Maddy's boot on the floor didn't look the right color. I stepped closer and SQUISH! All on the side w/our electronics and pictures. Lots of things are completely soaked including the package holding all of Maddy's first pictures from Sears. Its okay because we have the disc, but those still cost us a lot of money! And the water is still running, the next door neighbor moved and left it on! On purpose? Probably, had problems with her from the beginning but never really complained to her about it. But how do you leave water running full force by mistake and then move out?? You don't. It came through the walls on the side we share and its ruining the downstairs. Thank God we are moving but now we have a mess to clean up and floors to get shampooed. Arrgh, and we called the water company and they said we have to call our association, called the association and got voicemail!! I'm going to have Fabian call the water co again right now and try to be more forceful about it. Ay yi yi....
