Crazy Busy Weekend
Isn’t she beautiful? I thought it was fun the batter matches!
Saturday Ben and I went Rock Creek Pumpkin Patch up in
Self portrait
That night we met up with my parents to go to dinner to celebrate my mom’s birthday. We went to Bennihanas. It was delicious!
My camera has started taking blurry pictures, but here we are!
Sunday was my cake tasting! We had 3 different cakes, all chosen by the bride to be. I had them pre-sliced and ready to go!
Marble cake with key lime frosting; devil’s food with apricot filling and cream cheese frosting; and red velvet cake with white chocolate mousse and whipped chocolate frosting
That night Ben and I carved our pumpkins. I love carving pumpkins! It brings back such good childhood memories. And, I even like digging out the guts. Weird, I know.

Just a Rant
Normally my blog is pretty light and upbeat and more of a life update than anything. But, today it’s more of a rant.
I think it’s so sad how desensitized our society has become. Yesterday there was a fatal shooting at a restaurant across the street from my office building. You can read about it here. Today at the office, people are cracking jokes about how he was probably the health inspector or how we better not go eat at “bullets and sushi”.
Really?? Someone died yesterday. Someone who has a family and friends. Someone who still had life to live.
What happened to respect? Since when did it become acceptable to turn a murder into a laughing matter?
Thanks for listening to me vent.

Father-Daughter Date
My friend Dez told me about a great little place called Canvas and Cocktails. Basically you enjoy a glass of wine while you paint! You take your own bottle of wine and they provide the rest; canvases, paints, brushes, aprons, and instructions on how to actually do it. I had been once before with my friend Mary. I really enjoyed it, but was a little disappointed with how my first one came out. I had convinced my dad to come join me for another class. First of all, let me say that my dad is such a trooper. In a class of 35, my dad was the only guy. Such a ladies man!
But, it was great night. We had so much fun!! And I had no idea my dad was so artsy. Great bonding time with my dad, for sure.

The Beach!
I had such a great trip with my sister and Casey and was so sad to come back to reality. Move back home already!
