I've been working with cupcakes recently in preparing for a wedding in June. I did some samples for the bride, made a cupcake bouquet for Mother's Day, and did a gender reveal cupcake creation for my older sister. Here are some pictures!

A busy, Busy, BUSY Spring!
This has been such a busy spring! I started my new job in March and I love it so far! I have been working so hard in the kitchen and I am actually learning how to cook. I didn't know how easy it really is to make your own sauces (as long as you have all of the right ingredients). The past couple of weeks were super busy at work and with finishing up my semester of school.
This spring I also attended Fredrick Meijer Garden's Butterfly exhibit with the Relief Society sisters. It was a fun day after a wonderful brunch! I loved seeing all of the beautiful colors and different shapes & sizes of butterflies. That day I also found out that I was going to be an aunt again!
In April I was invited to attend the Delta Pi Alpha Honors awards dinner at GRCC. The Delta Pi Alpha award is given to the top 5% of the graduating class. I was very happy to be getting recognized for all of my hard work over the 4 years it took my to complete my associates degree! With working full time and going to school, I managed to have a GPA of 3.938!
This past weekend (May 3rd-5th) I had a great time with Joel and his mom! Friday morning I had graduation rehearsal and a pancake breakfast. Then mom and I went to LUV salon in GR for a relaxing mani/pedi. It was fantastic!!! They did a marvelous job! Then Friday evening I graduated from GRCC. It was a cramped, hot ceremony, but I'm glad that I went! Saturday afternoon, we went to Quedoba's for lunch and drove down to Kalamazoo! Joel took me and mom to see Wicked for our graduation/mother's day present! It was absolutely amazing!!! I would go again in a heart beat! I have read the book and have had the original soundtrack on my ipod for well over a year, but hadn't had the chance to see it yet. I loved every minute of it! Even Joel seemed to enjoy it! When we got home from the show, I made dinner and then we made chocolate covered strawberries, cookies, and pretzels! I had won an 11 lb bar of chocolate from a supplier's day event for work. It was worth $80. It tasted sooo yummy! We broke the bar into 8 hunks and put 7 of them into food saver bags. Then we watched Wreck it Ralph- one of my new favorites! It's sooo cute!
This morning we attended our stake conference for church. It was broadcasted from Utah and Robert C. Gay conducted it. He was Joel's mission president when he served in Ghana. He shared some experiences about Africa and it was very interesting!
Overall, this spring has been so busy and so great! I always had a plan for my life when I was growing up: I would go to Ferris to be a pharmacist. I wouldn't date until I was 26 and then get married after that. My life has been sooo different from that plan. I got married at 19, transferred from Ferris to GRCC, and earned an Associates degree in Business Administration (which took me 4 years to do while working full time.). But I wouldn't have it any other way. I am so happy with where I am in life! I have a great job, a beautiful home, a wonderful family, and a loving husband!
