loafs of love...

This Christmas season I wanted to gift a little something that was thoughtful but  wouldn't break the bank.  I usually bake sweets more than anything, but sometimes a simple homemade bread is a nice change from the puppy chow and sugar cookies.  I was gifted a sourdough bread starter and made a few loaves.  David and I decided it would be a nice gift to handful of teachers, neighbors, family, and friends.  It takes about three days to make the bread and it is quite the process...but what is they say..."the good things take time."

Jessica's Wedding...

Sunday I was honored to be a bridesmaid for my dear friend Jessica.  What an elaborate, gorgeous wedding it was let me tell you.  The traditional Indian wedding was held at the Schermerhorn Symphony Center.  I was a little nervous to wear the sari that showed my stomach, but I quickly forgot about that as I focused on performing a gangham style dance and giving a speech at the reception in front of 200 people.  Actually, I loved wearing the sari...it was comfortable and easy to dance in.  I gave a quote from Sex and the City for my speech since Jessica and I have been watching the show before the rest of the world picked up on it.  David and I participated with 3 other couples at the wedding in marriage game in which we won {according to David}.  The food was delicious, the cake was scrumptious, the music was great, and I had the best time dancing.  Best of all it is amazing to watch a best friend marry a great guy and know she is getting her happy ever after.
