Let Them Eat Cake

Sometimes you just need to have some cake. The last 2 weeks have kind of sucked around here. Please don't worry, nothing is terribly wrong. We have all been sick for the last 12 days (and we still are) and we have been REALLY busy. When you're sick you want to stay home, but we've been gone a lot. Lots of stuff going on. Plus, we've been having this freakish weather here and everytime we leave to go anywhere we've been battling rain, snow, and hail. Isn't it April? The weather was so bad that we had a power outage and when the power came back on it fried our refrigerator and we had to have some parts of it replaced. Of course the repair couldn't be simple, it had to take all week to get it done. So we lived out of the tiny little fridge I used in college for a week (thanks mom and dad). Things are looking up, though. May is tomorrow and surely we'll get a little sunshine. Our good friends are moving this weekend and we're so blessed to have them moving close to us. I have just worked my final night shift and am moving to day shift after 5 years of nights (HOORAY!!). We're all recovering from our colds. So, things are better, but when I was grocery shopping last weekend, I was walking down the baking aisle and couldn't resist getting the makings of a cake. After 2 weeks of the dumps, I think we deserved a cake. So, tonight I made it. I wasn't Martha Stewart or anything, it's out of a box, but it's a double layer with yummy frosting.

Then, Chris was gone tonight, and it smelled to good, I had to have a slice before he even got home! So, I took the picture to show him how nice it looked and thought I would share it with you!
