You know you're getting old when...

...after a long day in Manhattan all I wanted to do was put my feet up. Wow, I walked alot today. My feet are screaming at me right now but I was loving all the walking around earlier today. Before today I had never seen the Brooklyn Bridge so I decided to make a little trip today to walk across it. Before I got the bridge I made a little detour to Sugar Sweet Sunshine bakery so that I could compare thier cupcakes to Magnolia's. If you aren't familiar with the Manhattan cupcake scene, it is quite fierce competition. Well, For what it's worth...Sugar Sweet Sunshine is FAR superior to Magnolia's.

I have only heard great things about A Chorus Line so I decided to go see it today. A bonus is that Mario Lopez (A.K.A. A.C. Slater from Saved By The Bell) is in it right now. The show was great. I did not love the movie but the stage show was way better.

And here he is...Mario Lopez! He was very nice. As he was signing my playbill I told him I enjoyed the show and thanked him. He then looked up into my eyes and smiled his cute little smile and said it was his pleasure. In the picture he was on the phone with someone who was coming to pick him up.

I tried to get a picture with him too late so here is me with his back. Yeah, I'm being a little silly but it was fun. Two teenage boys got pictures with him that were standing in front of me but it was too late by the time I handed them my camera to take a picture of me. They were funny. They tried to push me up there with him and encouraged me to be just as pushy as everyone else but I refrained. Why is it that I always seem to make friends with gay guys in whatever line I am in? Anyway, they were nice enough to take this picture for me. And another way to know you are getting old... when the teenage heart throbs from your childhood are making comebacks on broadway.

I love weddings!

So, here it is...my first wedding cake. It's not a big one but I guess you have to start somewhere, right? I was pretty happy with how it turned out.

Here are the new Mr. And Mrs. Zernhelt cutting the cake. It was funfetti because it's thier favorite kind of cake. Thier wedding turned out great, despite the rain. Thankfully it held off until after the ceremony which was beautiful. The wedding was at 5 but the bride and groom did not leave until 10. A boring Southern Baptist wedding in Alabama just can't compare.

Tim and Brittany Harrision are two of my favorite people. It was great to get to hang out with them at the reception. This was one of the most fun weddings I've ever been to. I think it had to do with the fact that people actually danced. We danced all night long. It was great. It rained but I think that only helped to make it better.

Jim and Kendra are two more of my favorite people. They moved to Philadelphia a couple of months ago to plant a church there. It was great to catch up with them!

A little Randomness

I can't seem to post very regularly so I apologize for the randomness of my recent posts. I have been staying very busy with lots of different activities. My birthday was great. I got to hang out with lots of great people! Thanks to every one for all the birthday cards, phone calls, and comments. They helped to make this birthday one of the best!

This is a birthday cake for the mom of the little boy I babysit. Her birthday is the same as mine. Thankfully I had some help with this cake. If you look closely you can see that the design is outlined with tiny little white pearl like sprinkles. Jenny Schepens helped me put them on. Without her help I would have been up all night.

This is the glass plate that inspired the cake design.

The night of my birthday the girls from my small group decided to have a girls night. At about 10pm Anna had the bright idea to go to the beach the next day. As you can tell from the picture everybody agreed. We got up bright and early, made a pit stop at target(that took a little longer than expected) and then headed down to the Jersey shore. I am pretty sure a good time was had by all. Joy, the one in the blue, is getting married this weekend so it was a great way to spend our last weekend with her before she moves off to be married! Speaking of moving...I'm sure going to miss these girls when I move:(

Katie made me a birthday lunch along with this FABULOUS cake! It was funfetti, my favorite! We also had tacos...another favorite. I'm going to miss her too:(
