last few weeks and farewell..

My "farewell" was Sunday May 22.
It was quite the event and sooo much family showed up. Words cannot describe how grateful I am for them. Especially those who drove so far to stay for just a few hours. 
My talk in church went well and  I am so happy also for the friends that came. 
It was just so amazing.
Afterward we had a huge get together at my house where we had enough food to feed a small army.
At least 40 or more people were there and it was a lot of fun.

The last few weeks I was home were spent working of course... Lots of movies watched.. Pirates 4 was wonderful btw.
We played lots of games in the theatre.. dungeon being one of them.
I hung out with J lots and lots. 
We had a nice going away dinner at 9 iron last night also and watched pirates 4 again. 
Alot of my good friends are back for the summer so it was nice to see them before I have to leave.

Speaking of leaving tomorrow is the big day. I am ready... but so nervous, and scared. I know it will be the best thing in my life but I still cant help to feel nervous. I hope for the best.

Cake pops!!

I have always wanted to make bakerella's cake pops. They are amazing!! I bought the cookbook. I read her blog a ton and I told J about it and we decided to do it together. So thursday night before our HP party we made "quidditch cake pops" aka round circles attempting to be different shapes and colors. They were however delicious though...








Harry Potter Party!

Soo a few months ago. J and I were making a list trying to decide things we really want to do before I leave. I wanted to have a big fun party and as I kept thinking about it I decided it must be Harry Potter themed. We went all out. And we may or may not have been describing it as an 8 year olds birthday party. It was soo much fun. I made each person a real hogwarts letter with wax seal and everything. And we made Cauldron cakes, Chocolate frogs, Quidditch cake pops, licorice whips, butterbeer and soo much more..
I also made up an epic trivia game that was too hard for everyone but still awesome. We also played scene it and catch phrase and the whole night was wonderful and I have such great friends for dressing up and coming.
