Zade and I observed the passing of thirty to thirty one years by asking off our respective works and spending a restful, unpretentious day together.
The decor.....
A little drawing of the two of us holding hands.
The gift.....
Since purchasing our X-box console a few months ago Zade and I have affirmed the need
for another controller so we can spend date nights nerding-out together
once in a while. I snagged this one off
Craigslist from
a plump, sweet-looking high school boy with a mouth full of braces. We
made the trade-off at a movie theater. It seemed fitting.
The cake.....
I tried - and failed miserably in my domesticity- to make
this cake from Sweetapolita. My salted caramel swiss buttercream filling was a sweet, frothy mess - the consistency of
cottage cheese. Yes, that bad. I threw it out and opted for a favorite
chocolate standby. Ladies from our church let me borrow their six inch pans -
so kind - the size is so darling.
"Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their toil. For if they fall, one will lift up his fellow." - Ecclesiastes 4:9,10
Thank you Zade for being by my side to lift me when I fall.
