Cake Shopping

Next, comes the fun part of shopping for a wedding cake.  Now, I don't know about you, but overall I am not a big cake eater so this could be an interesting challenge to find just the right cake.  I am not as concerned with how my cake will taste as I am about how my cake will look. :)  That is the most important part to me...that the cake will look good in my pictures.  So off my mom and I go to check out all of the bakeries in town and see what will be the best options for us.

We started out at Daily's Bakery and spoke to the cake decorator to see what our options would be...after visiting with the cake decorator and seeing the bakery we decided this just wasn't going to be our best option.  So off we go again.  We spent one Saturday just driving by and going in to each of the bakeries to see if they made wedding cakes and seeing what each bakery looked like.

Here are a few of the cakes that I was looking at:




We finally decided to have Sugar Mamma's Bakery make the wedding cake.  They were super friendly and easy to work with (which is extremely important to me).  So after visiting with the owner of the bakery and giving her my ideas for what I wanted my cake to look like and what flavors I wanted the cake to be we were off in a good direction.  The first cake below is a very unusual cake for a wedding, the second one was a consideration for my actual wedding cake.  It was a great relief when the wedding cake was ordered.  Now if you want to see the actual cake that I chose, you must come to the wedding to see it, because the actual cake won't be pictured until after the wedding :)

Our words make a difference

Growing up, were you ever told, "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all?"  I remember being taught this when I was pretty young.  Our words matter and if we can't say something nice, it's better not to say anything.  In today's world, especially with social media, it seems that a lot of people have forgotten this message or maybe were never taught it to begin with.  Another childhood saying was "Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words can never hurt me."  Unfortunately, this saying is not true either.  Words can cause lasting damage that is very difficult to overcome. We need to be mindful when we are speaking that our words are used to encourage and uplift one another and not used to destroy each other.  There is a scripture verse that I have been meditating on this week and it is listed below.  It states that our conversation needs to be seasoned with salt, but also full of grace so that we know how to answer ...

Perfect Tote Bag

After searching for quite awhile I have finally found the perfect tote bag.  I wanted a small tote that I could take as a carry-on if I fly or that would be an easy bag to take if I was going out of town for just a weekend and did not need to pack for a week (which I am really good at doing even when not necessary).  So I started a search and went the rounds of all the stores in town to see if I could find something that I liked that was a good size.  I wanted a tote that was on wheels and had a handle so I didn't have to carry it all the time, but one that was smaller than my suitcase that I normally take when I go out of town.  So finally after going the rounds of all the stores several times, I have finally found the tote that is just right for me.  It has a handle, is not very large (but large enough to take everything that I will need) and it has wheels.  I am also pretty sure that I will be able to take it as a carry-on when I fly to Boise in a couple...

Jarius' Daughter

I was praying for healing for some people the other day and the thought kept coming to me, if God can raise Jarius' daughter from the dead and heal the leper from leprosy, there is nothing that He can't do.  I decided to look up the story of Jarius' daughter because it has been a while since I have read that.  There were a few things that really struck me when I was reading this passage this time.  This passage is found in Luke 8:40-56 and Mark 5:22-43 Now, I have been raised in the church and heard this story several times through my life and I am raising my kids to read the Bible now.  Sometimes, I feel like when I read the Bible, "How could you not have faith and not believe when you could see what was happening right in front of you?"  Did you realize that at this time in history, it had been 400 years since a prophet of God had been seen?   Now that is something amazing to me.  400 years since any miracles had been performed, yet these people...
