something for my amazing parents

my mom and dad are obviously the best people on the planet (my brother's pretty cool, too).

and today, those two fine folks are celebrating their 33rd anniversary.

for all you've taught me about life and love -- and for all of the things you've put up with from me -- thank you.

i love you both more than words on the internet will ever be able to express.

i love you so much, i'll even bake for you again.

i'm thinking of whipping up these cute mini ruffle cakes via the happy home blog. waddya think?

Cake

r is for researching who i am

my brother and i recently embarked on a mission to map our family history.

it's been a lot of fun -- learning about where we came from and who we are.

once we're done, i'm hoping to pull the info together on a not-so traditional family tree like these from my tree and me.
