Bye Bye Birthday, See Ya Next Year!

It is a well known fact that I celebrate my birthday for a whole week during the month of August. It's a good thing too because my parents are divorced, my grandmother raised me, and now I am (almost) married myself with a family. I don't know how good you are at math but that means roughly 4-5 lunch/dinners and more than my fair share of cake. It just so happens that Bryan's birthday is 10 days after mine. This means I basically celebrate birthdays for 2 whole weeks!

Generally I would love this. BUT being that I am trying to drop 20 large ones, it has been a struggle. I feel like I have taken about 10 steps back. We have gone out to eat 5 or 6 times and had dinner cooked for us numerous times as well. I am so happy to get back into eating healthy and exercising. I got lots of makeup work to do!

Bryan's birthday was a success. He loved the pictures I had made for him, but how could he not?! Anything that has that sweet little face on it is the best present ever. I attempted to make him a golf-themed cake, and while I am not disappointed in the final outcome, it did not quite look how I thought it would. I told Bryan not to laugh because it looked like a five year old had made it. He told me that it would have to be a pretty talented five year old;). He's great though and he would never tell me he didn't like it or make fun of it.

Maybe next year's golf-themed cake will turn out better than the last:). I think it's safe to say I will never be a professional baker!
