RunninDuff...not a cake decorator

Me and the hubby celebrated one year!!!!!!! YAYYYYYYYY! I tried to replicate our cake....since everyone ate it all at the wedding. What do you think????

LOL

Clearly it is a good thing that I'm practicing anesthesia vs. baking peoples wedding cakes. And maybe I shouldn't even be doing that since I clearly cannot pay attention to detail! Anywho...this is what has gone down in ONE YEAR! Timeline fashion

Clearly...it has been quite an eventful year....wouldnt you say? Graduated college, moved across the country, bought two new cars, moved twice, bought a puppy, ran 2 half marathons, a full marathon, 5k, and 10k. Began training for triathlons, Started and completed a year of Hell (I mean graduate school)...when it was time to do taxes...hubby had 8 W2s!!!!!!!! EIGHT!!!!....I am now starting to see why I have been quite stressed..haha.

But lifes short....dream big! Go out there and get what you want...even if it means a little added chaos. I wouldn't enjoy life if I wasn't dizzy from being busy. Maybe I can make next year even more eventful with moving every 4 weeks for rotations! Buckle up....and look forward to the ride! This girl is coming!

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!

LMAO, hey you TOTALLY get points for trying. I don't think any cake I would've made would make it past the oven :-X

You have such a great attitude. I agree if you want something give it all you got and go for it! Your year has been busy, but looks like it is filled with all good stuff.

Happy Anniversary! As for the cake, there were some minor differences, however the important part is the taste.

Laura said...

Whoa, I didn't know your husband was in the Enterprise Management Program! That's what my brother (the one I went to visit in Charleston) does.

Brian said...

At first I thought you made the top cake before scrolling down. Yes, stay out of the cake decorating business.

Quite a busy year. I don't even want to think of my life like that and compare. It would be way too boring.

That is quite a lot! Wow. And you're what 23? 24? When I was that age, I was drunk in a bar. Oh, and in grad school. But mostly drunk.

Congrats on your anniversary!
