What a weekend!!!!

Wow- so we had a very crazy weekend. We had two weddings to attend on saturday one of which I was making the wedding cake for. So friday night was spent with me in the kitchen- baking and frosting away- and Brad running to the wal-mart (which he is now officially boycotting). He was such a good man though to run all the errands for me. So I finished the cake around midnight and we both went to bed exhausted.

On Saturday morning we woke up bright and early because we had to be down to the Bountiful temple by 8:45 for Brad's freind Forrest's sealing. This was actually the first sealing that I have been to since we were married and I was excited that it was going to be in the same temple. Well when the lady came and got us so that we could get in the room I noticed that everyone was walking into the sealing room at the end of the hall and I got even more excited. It was in the exact same room that Brad and I were sealed in and it was just a really neat experience. The sealer was really good but he definitely kept it short. It was just so cool to be there and to feel the spirit so strong.


So then right after that we got in the car and headed to Layton for the wedding of a friend of mine from RC Willey. This is the wedding that i was making the cake for but they ate it at the luncheon afterward. It was so weird though to attend this wedding right after the sealing. It was such a different feeling there. They were married by this really old judge who said some of the funniest things. Mostly it just made me so grateful that Brad and I were married in the temple and for the knowledge that we have of eternal families.

So after the wedding we raced home to get the cake and then took it down to the luncheon which was at the Olive Garden in layton. All in all I was pretty happy with how the cake turned out except that it got a couple of bumps on the way down- oh well. Here are some pics for you guys:







So yesterday was a much needed relaxing day- well at least for me, brad was at meetings all day. I did get a new calling yesterday though and I am quite excited about it. I am the new Young Women's Secretary. I am definitely nervous but I think that it will be fun to get to know the girls! This week will probably be just as crazy though- my sisters wedding is on friday and I will be making the cake for that too! I am so excited though because Jenny is coming from New York for the wedding- we didn't think she would be but she surprised and will be flying in on thursday night- yeah!!!

That cake is so beautiful! That is awesome that you can make cakes like that! What a busy weekend and I agree completely with you about the feeling in weddings being performed in the temple vs. other. We are so blessed to be with our family forever!
