COSTCO

I just have to say, I love costco. Its the best store on earth. Yesterday I went there to kill some time while I was waiting for Ben to finish studying and found so many delicious little taste testers. They don't even minf if you have seconds. One lady told me to take 5 samples of pasta because she had to close up.... I took them all.

Cities

I wish I had some cool news or something... but we're just doing the same old same old stuff. Ben is working hard at his classes, and I'm just loving my job. We're trying to make some decisions about where we might want to live after Ben finishes school. His program wants you to choose a city, then go there for a training and internship this summer and next, then work there. So they like you to decide early on. But its hard to know where we will want to be in 2 and a half years from now. It seems too far away. We've thought about Seattle, Philadelphia, New York, and a few more. We're waiting to hear back from one of the companies about any possible international opportunities (uk or canada) However, if we go that route, Ben will most likely be on his own to find the job... they don't usually recruit internationally. Anyways, lots to consider. We're excited about the nicer weather down here. Its finally sunny and we've stopped putting our heat on becasue we dont' need it anymore. I'll add some pictures soon. xxx

Phone

Just FYI, I must have dropped my phone somewhere between Alena's house and mine when I was running home from my piano lesson. We got a snowstorm here.... and I have no idea where I dropped it... its buried under snow somewhere in the willows. So, incase any of you were trying to get in contact with me.... that's why you couldn't. I hope to either find it or get another one soon. I really need to be more careful. 

Update

Here's the cake I made for our princess party. It was a bit of a disaster as you can seen. The side was caved in and there were pieces falling off. At least it tasted good. I was horrified when I arrived because I thought the cakes were just being made for eating, but instead they were the actual centerpieces for the tables. One lady had used an actual princess barbie as the center of the cake, then decorated the cake around the barbie, as the dress. It was so immaculate. I felt pretty embarrassed. Only a couple pieces of mine got eaten. And I ate one of the pieces. So I think only one or two people chose mine to eat. Not that I blame them... At least Ben had a wonderful time finishing off the rest of it over the last few days. He's my biggest fan. He thought it was perfect.  I better be careful where I let this picture out to..... it might end up on the ugliest cakes blog! LOL. I have a lot to learn about time management. There is just never enough time... and I do a poor job of planning ahead. Oh well, at least I had the best intentions. I went to uncle Steve's office yesterday to get all signed up to work for him. I met all the people there. They are so nice but I was a bit nervous so I was glad to see Rachel. He's got a really nice office. I'm excited to work for him. I will probably start in about a month or so. I love you all. I hope we can talk tomorrow. xxx
