just cause it's pretty.

I struggled with the cakes falling in the middle, so my cake layers weren't very even, but still pretty. I just had to post a picture of what the inside looked like.

Ohh... and it was really good. Next time you want a yummy red velvet cake, Bobby Flay knows how to do it! :)

T-15 hours until a Thanksgiving Celebration!

Is anyone else so excited for Thanksgiving?

I am!

Today I made Spinach Dip, Cranberry Sauce and a Red Velvet cake. Mmm...

Tomorrow I am making Roasted Carrots. Yum.

Can't wait.

Well things have been moving along here in the DK household.
I have been sick, sick for at least 2+ weeks. It has been terrible. I haven't felt like doing anything. At. All. I am finally starting to feel better today and I am hoping by tomorrow I will be closer to healthy. So not a fan of being sick.

I have been subbing quit a bit. I have been helping out at the Middle School. It's 6th grade math and I love it. Sadly, I don't think they will be needing me anymore so that is too bad. I really enjoyed being there with the students. I would love to go get my teaching degree and teach middle school or high school math. Maybe someday. Probably not. ha ha.

If you haven't heard, my awesome brother is engaged to the cutest girl ever. Katie. We love her.

So excited for them!

Last week they came over and made a Pre-Thanksgiving dinner for us (including deep fried turkey). It was yummy. Afterwards we went to New Moon. Loved it. My parents came with us too. Great night! (although i think my dad may disagree a little).

We laughed at the first picture, so we had to try for a second. :)

Oh my! Can I just tell you, I absolutely love Glee. Best show ever.

A few weeks ago we went to Logan for Zach and Danyl's Wedding. It was a great weekend! On the way home we stopped in Ogden and visited Dustyn's grandmother. She is so sweet and so sharp! She can remember everything. It's fun to visit her and hear her stories. I wish we lived closer to her so we could spend more time with her.

We also saw some pretty sweet clouds in Logan! This is one of the Walmarts there. At first glance I thought it was a mall. :)

Well I think that is all for today.
I hope you all have a fantastic Thanksgiving.
