Super Bowl XLV!

I know, I know.. I haven't been keeping up with the 30 days of me! A friend on my facebook is doing something with pictures, I might start that instead!

This weekend the husband and I celebrated our Valentine's day. My mom wanted to watch our daughter so we figured since we'd have the day/night alone we'd spend it wisely! We ended up with tickets to a Philadelphia Flyers game (woohoo!!) and that's where we were Saturday night. Thirteen rows from the ice watching them beat the Dallas Stars 3-1! In just a little over a month we will be at the game again for our Christmas present from my Dad! Suite tickets.. can't wait! (more on that when the time comes!)

So, here we are on Super Bowl Sunday! I don't care to watch the game. Football isn't my thing, so I am holed up in my bedroom watching stuff off my DVR. However, I will take any "occasion" as a chance to bake and since we were having a mini "party" at my Mom's today I thought, "why not make a cake?!" So, here it is:

It's a 4 layer chocolate cake with buttercream icing and fondant accents. The helmets and football were made from rice cereal treats! I had a few icing mishaps (read: a certain 4yr olds little fingers) and touching that up was difficult because the icing had already set. Oh well! Live & Learn!

There you have it! I hope whomever you are wishing to win tonight does so!

Day 7... My best friend!

Fourteen, almost fifteen years ago I moved to Delaware. I was 11 and awkward. I watched all the "cool kids" hang out at the girl's house across the street. Fourteen, almost fifteen years later.. that girl is my best friend. I consider her my sister.

Lauren is kind hearted, funny and one of the strongest people I know. I've watched her overcome things that I could only wish to have a fraction of her strength if I went through the same. She's going to school to become a social worker which I think is the perfect job for her. After all, she's essentially been my therapist for the past 14years, so I am positive she will be great at helping others! I share anything and everything with her and she doesn't judge. As long as we are together we are having a good time, even if that means we are doing absolutely nothing. When I look back on important parts of my life she was always around. I feel truly lucky to have her as a best friend and my life is honestly better because she's in it. I look forward to what's to come in our lives.. as I am sure it will be filled with friendship and laughter!

She's a great Aunt to my daughter. Bella loves her!
