New Blogness!

So with the new year and my soon-to-be new last name, I started a new blog for Taylor and I. So if you want to follow my shenanigans (which currently include: wedding planning, moving, and preparing for wife-hood) you can do so at http://thesmiths3511.blogspot.com

This will probably be my last post on this blog, so please switch to the new one. :) Love you all!

What a Difference Four Months Makes...



So, it's obviously no secret that I'm an awful blogger. But, in my defense, a lot has happened.



Yes, for those of you who live under a rock, I'M ENGAGED! To the most wonderful man, I might add.



Yup, that's him! Taylor James Smith. *sigh* He's a graphic design major from Florida (though he's a Texan at heart) who loves music, movies, and... ick... Dallas Cowboys football. lol He is, by far, the most loving, patient, and adorable man I have ever met and I am the woman who gets to spend eternity building a family with him. tee-hee :) No date or location has been officially decided yet, but I'm sure I'll update when it's all settled.

As for me, I'm working, wedding planning, and loving everyday I get to spend with the love of my life. It doesn't get much better than this! I am truly, extraordinarily blessed.

Sittin, Waitin, Wishin...

Let me preface this by saying that I am so blessed and I love my life, but we all have moments when we wish we were someone else, or at some other point in our lives. For me, this is one of those moments. Allow me to share with you my wishes.

- I wish I was completely finished with school.

- I wish I was financially independent.

- I wish I was fulfilling my role as a most amazing wife.

- I wish I was pregnant. (Weird, I know. But true.)

- I wish I wasn't so far from my family, especially my mom.

- I wish my hair was longer.

- I wish I didn't have acne.

- I wish I was more healthy.

- I wish I could sleep like a normal person.

OK, I realize this might sound depressing. I guess I just wanted to vent. I really am happy. I have wonderful friends, an amazing family, and the gospel in my life. I guess this is just one of those days when I look at the lives of the people around me and start to wish...

Oh the guilt...

I have not written here in FAR too long! My apologies to the person(s) who read. Haha

Well life has been pretty good overall. I have only one more term in my college career until I am officially a college graduate with a B.S. in Family Life. I am so excited! These past five years at BYU have really shaped the woman I'm becoming and I could not have asked for more amazing people to share it with over the years.

Speaking of amazing people, MY FAMILY IS COMING TO PROVO!! Since I'm graduating in the middle of the summer, they don't have a ceremony then. So I'll be walking in the ceremony in April and my parents and grandparents are coming all the way from New Jersey to see their little graduate!!! :) I am so blessed!

As for this summer... I'll be finishing up school, working for BYU Sports Camps, and hopefully completing my Dental Assisting course. I'm very excited for what the future holds, mostly because I have NO idea what it is!

On a side note, I am sooo excited for General Conference this weekend!!!! :) And hopefully I'll be better about writing from now on.

Ciao!

Ace of Cakes...

Ladies and gentlemen, I have found a new love! No, it's not a boy... it's cake decorating!


So this week has been a week of birthdays and what's a birthday without CaKe?! Noting my apparent craftiness, my friends commissioned me to sort of head up the cake department for our friends' special days and I immediately went BoNkErS! Well, let's allow the cakes to speak for themselves...

This is 'Clarence', our dinosaur cake, that was made for Alex Hale's birthday.


This is Po from 'Kung Fu Panda'! I made this cake for Brad Beaufort's birthday.


And, my personal favorite, a Minnie Mouse inspired cake for my dear friend Kristin.

I seriously cannot explain to you how much fun I've had making these cakes! I can't wait for the next birthday!!
