prom

last weekend was my senior prom. the dj was by far the worst dj i have ever heard. but i had a good time before prom and after. after work i went home to go get ready. i put my hair in hot rollers and then i did my friend's hair while mine cooled off. her hair turned out really pretty. then i finished my hair, did my make-up, and went to dinner. i went with my boyfriend to a nice place in the town north of where i live. most everyone that ate out went there i think, but i made reservations early and there were only two of us so we got our food fast which was nice. i went to the same place for homecoming but with a group and the service was really slow and my waiter sucked. this time was much better.

one of my good friends at the restaurant, she was prom queen

then after dinner i met up with some of my friends at prom. prom itself was pretty boring. like i said the dj sucked and i only danced one slow song with a good friend of mine that will also be going to uf. but i did get quite a good amount of pictures at prom because we were all just standing around and talking most of the time.

my girl friend, these are the girls i stayed with except for the second from the left and she's the one that i did her hair for her

two of my best friends, they're going to uf as well


after prom a huge group of people met a one of my friend's house. i went there with the three other girls that i was staying the night with. there was LOTS of junk food. home made rice crispy treats, dirt cake, cheese cake, brownies, cupcakes, cookie, chips, candy, goldfish, and more. we played games like twister and cards. lately my friends and i have been on a card kick. we like spoons and spades the most. we stayed there until 3ish then went to allison's house where the four girls slept. it was a lot of fun. i've gotten to be a lot better friends with two of the girls that i stayed with and the other one i have been good friends with for a while. it's nice to have good girl friends, especially now towards the end of my senior year; it's made things more fun.

Piece of cake

last saturday was one hectic day. after work at 2 o'clock, i had to finish the wedding cake for my friend. our kitchen was crazy between my mom cooking for guest and me finishing a cake and running into some unexpected, unpleasant surprises. the icing i was using had to much moisture and the more it came to room temperature, the more it melted off the cake. i had to strip the cake of the buttercream and beat some more powdered sugar into the frosting to make it more firm. after the frustration was over, then i got to put the flowers on the cake. it turned out beautiful.

turned out pretty good for my first major cake.

here is the cake at the wedding.

the wedding was very pretty for a small scale wedding. it was held at a lady's house on a lake from my friend's church. her backyard was a lovely spot for a wedding.

here's me cutting the rest of the cake after the bride and groom had the first piece.

here it is as it is beginning to be demolished.

so their ya go, my one and only. i have had friends tell me that i will be doing there cake when they eventually have their wedding. and i decided that this was a one time thing. but ya never know.
