bakeitpretty.

my very favorite place to buy baking supplies is having a sale!

head on over to bake it pretty

some amazing items:

large round pastry tip.

i have this and this is the ONLY way i pipe.

so, you could say that i'm semi-obsessed.

but, they are sold out.  so i'm very very sorry.

cute little gingham mini wrappers!  

these would be great for an NCSU tailgate!

[um...in 2013. let's get real.

i will not have time to tailgate while in nursing school]

snowflake candy molds!  holy cuteness!

and in case you were wondering what my to-do list looked like,

here it is:

quit my job

buy a car

sell my house

move to winston

get sparrow tattoo [see below]

start nursing school

phew!

it's been a busy past couple of weeks!  

i am so thankful and so blessed to be where i am.

i have 13 months of a crazy ride to become a nurse,

but the journey is worth the destination!

while sitting in orientation and having an immense amount of information thrown up and around, i sat back and remembered matthew 10:29-31,

"Are not two sparrows sold for a penny?  

Yet not one of them will fall to the ground outside your Father's care. 

 And even the very hairs of your head are numbered.  

So don't be afraid; you are worth far more than many sparrows." 

what a promise! 

 so...because i have been wanting a sparrow somewhere on my body,

and because i believe in love-at-first-pin:

i did it:

ohmygosh i'm in love.

that is my right hand ring finger.

love love love.
