Yesterday was a really good day. I wanted to share!
It was the missionary farewell for Jennie Wood one of my friends that I grew up with, she is going to the southern most part of Chile where its cold and there are penguins. She will be an awesome missionary, she has become such a spiritual person. It was a really nice meeting, nice to go back to the ward I grew up in where my parents live.
Then I got to decorate and bake the cake for Corrine's birthday dinner. I made the pumpkin cake (the recipe is on the recipe blog - check all the comments for changes!!!) It was the most successful one ever, I dug out the original recipe and found the key problem to how its been made in the past. It turned out awesome, I will post the picture on the recipe blog when I get a chance.
Then I altered 2 of the pants we got for Jake's new job, both successful changes, I have to get a patch for the 3rd pair, but thats easy stuff. He's going to be working at the Target by our house doing stuff in the back, he'll be fork lift certified and other fun stuff like that. It will be so nice for him to not have a really stressful job! So because of the stock room conditions we went and got some Khaki's and red tee's from the DI because they will get beat up pretty easily... And for $31 we were able to get 3 pairs of pants and 4 shirts, 3 of the shirts are brand new and the 4th is an IZOD Polo shirt that is in great condition!!! It was fun to go and find stuff there for so cheep and be able to get quality things. The pants, one pair was way too long, the other needed a button and the patch is for the 3rd pair which has a worn out spot on the bum (men and their wallets...) But they are all in great shape otherwise... So fun.
Then after a lovely pork chop dinner and yummy cake, we got out the Wii and watched the kids bowl, its amazing how they pick it up, so smart!
We went home and my visiting teacher came, my first ever, I am 24 and this is the only visiting teacher I have ever had. Its pretty exciting.
Then we got to watch The Next Iron Chef finale, it was a close battle but the bald guy, Michael Symon won, I was kind of surprised actually, but he's very charismatic so he'll be fun to watch!
So that was my good day yesterday!

Sounds like a really good day! Wish we could have been there for the dinner and the cake, sounds yummy.
Tell Jake congrats on his new job!
the Wii was fun. Zach was sweating after the bowling. He loved it, thanks for sharing it with us. the cake was super yummy. Darin wants to make it for Thanksgiving so we will check out the changes.
Jake got a new job? Is he liking it or has he even started there yet? I bet it saves a ton on gas though... How is school going for you?
So what is Jake's new job? Where is it? What will he be doing?
