Lots of things have happened first Mark's little sister Michelle was Married May 8th to Frank Michelii (hope I spelled it right) anyway it was beautiful and so crazy that she is married. I decided to be crazy and I voluntered to make her wedding cake! I have always wanted to do this I even thought about making my own but that would have been truly crazy. At first I thought its no big deal I have made cakes before its just a little bigger:) I watched you tube videos and googled and they made it look so easy well my first trial cake was a nightmare! I had never worked with fondant before and it was aweful. So I was getting scared I mean this is a big deal it is her big day and it didn't help that she told be that she knew it would turn out great and it was the one thing she was sure on!! HELP So I talked to a few people I new who made cakes(thanks Chelsey and Ollie) they gave me hints and told me that making your own fondant is so much better. So I used marshmellos on my secong trial and it was amazing how much better it went, I was feeling a little better about the whole thing. Well I had to make her cake 4 days before the wedding because first she was going through the temple for herself on Friday in the Mount Timp. Temple and then getting married in the Salt Lake Temple on Saturday and then back up to Wyoming that night for a reception. Dont worry that I had to be packed and ready to move myself for 4 months that sunday!! So I made the cake Tuesday put Fondant on it Wednesday and cleaned my house and Packed the car for a 4 month stay in Lousianna:) We then drove to Wyoming to help decorate for the reception, part of the cake on my lap of coarse in a box but still 2 hour drive:) When we got there they were pretty much done decorating since they started at 8:00 that morning. Well the cake I had on my lap was the tallest teir and it unfortunatly became a little bumpy but I thought nothing I can do now:) We then spent the night there and the next morning headed to American Fork. We stayed with my mom and then she babysat all the kiddos 9Paislee and most all Marks neices and nefews)while we went to the temple. This was amazing and reminded me of when I went through for the first time, the temple is truly beautiful and the blessings even more so. We then went back to my moms to sleep and get up for the wedding. Camille was the photographer and did a awesome job and it was fun to have her there. The rest of my family was unable to come because of some sad news, my Aunt Darlene had past away and the feuneral landed on the same day as Michelle's wedding. This was so sad because I really wanted to be there for my cousins and Uncle on this sad day. I loved my Aunt she was like a second mom she was so incredible, a cow farmers wife who worked so hard and always had somthing yummy in the kitchen to eat she was the perfect host I will truly miss her. The wedding ceremony was as usual beautiful and Frank and Michelle seemed so young sitting there waiting to be married it was weird because I still consider my self young so funny to have the thought. We then headed back to Wyoming I was so scared about the cake I decided to forgo the lunchon and work on the cake while no one was around. To have others watching would have been even more scary and I would be more pron to mess up. Well it turned out better then I thought and for someone who had never done it before I think it looked pretty good. There were abviousley some mess ups but hopfully no one noticed but me:) The wedding reception was fun and turned out beautiful just like the rest of the day, congrats Frank and Michelle.
Well sunday morning at 3:59 AM me, Mark, and Paislee set out for a long drive to Lousianna. Paislee did awesome only cried twice yes twice the whole way there, what an angel. Being how it was mothers day and my first mothers day it was interesting. Mark was a sweety and felt bad about how it was not ideal so he took me to Applebees for dinner and then oreos and milk for desert yum:) It was a simple mothers day but perfect esspecially considering the circumstances. Well we are now here in Lousianna for an adventure of our lives it is exciting and also very strange being so far from home somthing I never really experienced before. unless you count St. George and Logan:) wow how I thought I was so far from family then and now how I really am. I don't know that I will be able to blog a whole lot considering this internet problem so have a great summer love you all.
