Sheet Cake, or S&*@ Cake?

While these pictures are from a while back, I just wanted to remind you that this is what happens when you multi-task:

My "no-fail" sheet cake that has earned accolades for all of my baking years turned into a nightmare when I needed a cake for Parent Teacher Conferences. Not only did it look bad, it tasted worse.

Multi-tasking: Just say NO!

Happy Anniversary to me!

Tomorrow marks a very important day in my teaching career. It is my first anniversary of being a Spanish teacher. I cannot help but reflect on how this year has gone, how I've grown and what I've learned about teaching and about myself. I cannot believe how far I've come as a professional and as a student. While I know I still have much room for improvement, I feel accomplished knowing what I have done in one short year. I feel so lucky to have such a great job. I am grateful for what I get to do with my time and am honored to be around such inspiring individuals as my students!

Working on Goal #15

A group of women from my Aunt's ward goes hiking once a month. I joined them on a lovely hike in Yellowstone Park. We hiked to a lake and had lunch. After we hiked out we went on a little jaunt by Yellowstone Lake. The only thing that would have made it better is if it had lasted longer. One hike down, four to go!
