WELCOME HOME!

Hello All! Okay, so this past weekend was sooo super busy! Friday we closed on our NEW HOME! We bought a super cute townhome in Chaska, Minnesota (8TH BEST CITY TO LIVE IN THE ENTIRE USA, BY THE WAY) We love this area, and we've been here long enough to know that we're here to stay for quite a while...SO! I will upload pictures soon...first I have to clear out all the boxes!

I thought this was going to be a super easy move...since we were moving right down the street and I got to hire a moving team ( I have a bad habit of buying BIG furniture that Jamie and I could in NO way lift. I go to the gym, but seriously, i would need to be Mighty Mouse! So back on subject, we closed Friday morning, movers showed up Saturday. Luckily, I had a stroke of brilliance and booked Brandi & Bailey into Doggie Day Care for the Day. So as of Saturday at around 4 we were moved in. Then Sunday Jamie and I headed back over to the rental to clean...and man did we! 12 hours later!!!! I was ready for bed! Needless to say that rental is as clean as it's ever been...and thats saying something! We even dusted the ceiling....

So, thats it from us for now. Hope you all have a great Turkey Day!! We are going out to Seattle to visit Dad and Elizabeth. Jamies excited because he's never been!! So we'll let you know!

Closet Baker

Ever since I was a little girl I use to love to bake. I remember sitting in the family room of my grandmothers house, looking into the kitchen and watching her bake. She'd make cakes or candies...all sorts of stuff. I love to bake. It's not really a secret....I don't think I'm super great at it, I probably do it more often than most....but I'm about average.

Last christmas I made all sorts of goodies and would bring them into work or keep them around the house. I already have people asking me for my peanut butter snowballs, fudge and triple chocolate chip cookies....sometimes I wish I could just take some time off of work for like 3 weeks and just stay home and bake. I just love seeing peoples faces when they eat the stuff that I bake (assuming they like it..hehe). I just wish that I had the time to bake all the time.

Jamie's boss at Life Time asks for my cookies for her meetings. Which I'm not sure if she's really that in love with them or just super nice to me...but i makes me so happy when jamie will come back and tell me how much everyone loves them. Last time, in the middle of their meeting, they actually made me a thank you card..which was super sweet.

So question for the readers: What is your secret thing that you wish you had enough confidence over to quit your job to do...just walk away and feel confident that if you ever had the guts to do it, you would be super happy and might not make a bad living off of it?

My answer: BAKING.
