Nothing Better!

This week is spring break!  That means that my students and I all have a break from seminary.  I can sleep in until 6:30 or 7:00am and not have to spend time preparing a lesson everyday.  I do love my students and teaching, but we all needed a break! That all said, I have time to read!  I'm in heaven!  I love to cuddle up with the quilt my Mom made me and read!  I've heard great things about a book called "Unbroken" by Laura Hillenbrand.  I haven't finished it yet, but I would highly recommend it!  It's a life changing book.  When I sometimes think things are difficult or hard I will think of Louis Zamperini among other things that strengthen me.  I will think of the answer he had for enduring something hard, hope, resolve and humor. I'm so glad that I've had this time to read a great book! 

I love my quilt! My Mom's so talented! I feel her arms around me every time I cuddle up in it!  Isn't it beautiful!  I love that she added my favorite color lavender!  Thanks Mom!



 Ashlee's been taking a cake decorating class.  This was week two!  They learned to transfer images from a coloring page to the cake and than they used frosting to "color" it.  Our cake mission statement is: "a cake must taste as good as it looks"!  Oh my or my, did this cake taste as good as it looks.  Here's a little tip that I thought was brilliant-she added a cream filling.  She took a snack pack vanilla pudding container, and spread it in between the layers.  It was so moist and yummy! I think she's doing great!  Her goal is to decorate Brandon and Camille's wedding cake for their open house here in New Hamphsia!
