Emily turned 18 yesterday. That just doesn't seem right, does it? Can we really have an adult child? That is just crazy talk! Emily wanted to go sky diving for her bday, ya know to prove that she is a big girl now but didn't do that (she still plans to). She went to see The Black Knight.
Emily is such a sweetheart. She has always been the peacemaker in our home. She works hard, has a sweet disposition and everyone loves her. We are so thankful for her everyday.
Okay, I was going to make the most beautiful cake for her. In my mind it was gorgeous! I made 2 round chocolate cakes. I put the 1st one down and put cool whip and cut up strawberries all over that. Then I put the other layer on. I poured frosting all over that and thought that it would drip down all the way but it just got the top cake. I should have frosted the bottom cake before I started. I dipped strawberries and put them on top. I pictured beautifully dipped strawberries and then drizzle white chocolate over them for color. Well, it didn't drizzle-it glopped. Oh well, Emily said it was pretty. It wasn't a sight but it tasted divine! I just wish I could think more practicle so that I wouldn't invision something that I can't make happen. oh well, it was good and it was devoured in minutes. Life is good.
