and I'm so excited, we are going to Texas Road House for dinner tonight with his family and mine and then coming back to our house for German Chocolate cake, I cheated on the cake, in all honesty I don't really have any problems using a box, but I usually play with it, but that didn't happen this time, but I did make the frosting from scratch and it's yummy! Let me tell you toasting the pecans makes all the difference in the world when cooking/baking, they add so much richness, and it's so easy. I just put them in our toaster oven and used the lowest toast function like twice and they came out perfect. I used the recipe from Martha Stewart, except I added a little extra vanilla, and it took me way longer than 10 minutes for the frosting/sauce to thicken. Other than that we are working on getting ready to go to Arizona for my brothers baby blessings, 2 brothers, 1 baby a piece. We are so excited, but also a little scared, we are taking the twins on an airplane and this is their farthest trip yet, any advice? I don't really want to drug 'em if we can avoid, I kind of plan on just sticking to their schedule and hope they comply. Wish us luck, oh and on a side note, Conference was awesome this last weekend, it was so good to hear all the talks on family and struggles and overcoming them. Just what I needed! Ok, now I think I'm done...
