Still a blogger...

Hey everyone! A quick blog update...I cannot believe it has been almost 6 months since the last time I posted anything here...so much has happened in the last 6 months in quite a few areas of my life! I met Jacob in September and we have been dating ever since...such a blessing to have someone like him in my life. If is fun to get out and do things with someone who shares the same interests and is willing to be adventurous. We have been camping three times, ran in the Turkey trot (getting ready for Bloomsday next month), made a trip to Reno, survived four holidays and lots of family gatherings and new introductions. Other things in the last few months include a trip to Las Vegas for National Finals Rodeo, Christmas in Phoenix, Isaac and Sophie, my twins, turned one a few weeks ago!, finished a quilt...working on finishing another one this month, got back to playing competitive volleyball, coached 1st & 2nd grade boys basketball, celebrated Jacob's 30th birhtday (with yummy cupcakes and brown sugar buttercream frosting from the challenge cookbook)and I put the baking challenge on hold...I am still baking, just not as much...with my crazy life, some priorities had to change to squeeze time in for Jacob...hahaha and 5 recipes a week was getting pretty darn expensive!! I will make every recipe in that book!!! Also, I think I did prove that you can lose weight and bake...I lost 23 lbs at the end of last year...I will reach my goal of 50lbs by August!!!












Cheesecake with homemade caramel sauce...yummy!!!

Sometimes going through the garage requires a little more mess before the organization comes...I can park my car in my garage and I continue to get rid of more stuff each week!
