Adventures in Utah

Lindsay has been bugging me about updating my blog so here goes. I don't have any pictures since my camera is on the fritz but A LOT has definitely changed since my last post. I moved back to Utah at the end of December, not necessarily because I wanted to, but I felt that it was right. And the first few weeks were very very hard, missing new york and my family out there so much. But things got better. I actually made a phone call to the AI of Salt Lake on my drive to Utah, to hopefully be placed in a job and as it turned out, they were looking for a pastry chef instructor. So I got the position three days before the quarter started as long as I agreed to attend school to finish my 4-year degree. So not only am I teaching full time, but I'm also attending UVU full time as well. I'm definitely stretched thin, but I'm doing really well, and adjusting back to life in mormonville USA. I absolutely love my job, it's so crazy being the instructor when it was me being the student not so long ago. And to have the students call me "chef", and getting to make all the decisions and share my culinary knowledge with them! It's so great!! Plus it's been awesome being near Amy and Tony again. We get together a few times a week at minimum. And Glenn and Mandi live right around the corner so I'm over there several times a week. They've been a huge blessing in mine and mom and Hailey's lives. We couldn't thank them enough. It's also a lot of fun living with mom and Hailey, just hanging out and what have you, and being near the rest of the fam.
I am still planning on returning back to NY but it will probably be a lot later than I planned. I will most likely stay here until I finish my degree which could be either December or next April depending on the classes. It's been a hard road, but it's getting better and the Lord is definitely blessing me in His own ways.

wow, it really has been a long time!

Well, i'm still a total loser and have nothing to post other than one cake. My camera broke so I haven't been taking any pictures which is a big reason for not posting anything new. But the story on this cake is pretty cool. A lady came into our shop the other day and said she was a publisher for a bridal magazine and had seen one of our cakes at a wedding and wanted to publish it. So she said she would email me a pic of it so we could give her a description to put with the picture. Low and behold it was one of my cakes that I decorated!! So as of January's issue of this magazine, I will be a published artist! It's def not one of my favorite cakes, so I don't know why she liked it so much, but she raved about it, so that made my day.

Oh Poppycock!!

Again I apologize for the huge gap between posts. Life has been crazy, plus we didn't have internet until yesterday, and now I don't know how I ever lived without it. Not too much is new. I am a scout leader for the 10 year olds, and call me unrighteous, but it is definitely not my favorite calling. But I'm working on it, hopefully the Lord bears with me. Still continuing to work, and just enjoying being with the Sisson family. Here are some more photos from times at the lake and freezing corn.
