Wedding Cake and an Update

Soooo...I finished the wedding cake I mentioned in the previous post. It was for a very lovely couple, the Smith's. They actually tied the knot during an intimate ceremony in May and were having a huge party at their home tonight to celebrate. I wasn't able to make it to the party but I know they'll have a blast. Below is a picture of the cake:


As for the Update:
This has been the craziest, most busy week in my entire life. My husband went to two job interviews last week; Ohio on Tuesday, Knoxville on Wednesday. On Thursday morning he got a call from the interview in Knoxville offering him a Health Physicist position with the State of Tennessee and he obviously accepted.

So, we're moving to Tennessee. I find out on Thursday morning and my husband, Daniel, leaves Saturday morning for a week-long mission trip in the upstate. Thanks honey, drop the bomb and leave me to do the dirty work of breaking the news and figure out how to get you to Tennessee before July 16th. On top of all that was the wedding cake you see above.

CRAZZZZYYY BUSSSYYY!!!

So how do I feel about packing up and moving? About leave my roots, the town where I was born and raised? The place where my entire family lives, except my Dad? I'm actually okay with it. I've put this in God's hands since Day One and my prayer has been that wherever He wants us to go then that's where He'll open the door and we will follow.

I have a total peace about this whole thing. It's hard to explain. Of course I'll be emotional when I do the actual leaving, but I am truly excited about the opportunities that await us. I think this will be a good thing for us and our marriage. I will miss my family and friends here greatly but it's only about a 5 hour drive, give or take a little. I already have family planning their trips to the mountains to come see us.

Having said all of that, my blogging has been sparse lately and will probably continue to be sporadic until we complete our move. Once we get all settled in I'm sure I'll have lots of free time to cook, bake, and blog.

In the words of Porky the Pig, "That's all folks!"
