January 17
Today is a big day for the Z-house. As we explained to Blake this morning, "one year ago today Mommy and Daddy spent a lot of money." It's kind of surreal to think that we have been homeowners for one year now.
January 17 is also Blake's uncle Mark's birthday. Blake and I made (ok, I made, but Blake was very patient and played very well by himself while I made) him a birthday cake, which we delivered last night.
The cake is a red velvet cake, which I was excited to try out. I had heard great things about it, but I had never seen or tried one myself. Hehe....I didn't realize that "red" meant "RED!!!!". Had Nate come home early for work, I'm pretty sure he would have thought I had cut my arm off, there was so much red all over our kitchen. It's frosted in buttercream icing, with a layer of fondant over the top. I was also excited to try out my hand with fondant once again, and I am extremely proud of the result. Just hope it tasted good!
This morning also marks the first time that I slept through the night in months!!!!! Literally, I went to sleep after 9, and I didn't wake up until Blake woke up at 6!!!! We both slept through the night. As Nate would say, "w00t!"
