Sprinkles... Watch Out!

So I am not much of a baker. Don't get me wrong, I like to cook, but baking is just not my thing. Well, my best friends daughter is turning 8 and she is having a Spa Birthday for her and I said I would make cupcakes and help her with the party. So for a test, I made them for the Couples shower we had at our house last night. I was a little nervous, but I followed a recipe, made homemade buttercream icing and piped it on! Here is how they turned out:
Everybody said they were delicious (hopefully they were not lying) so I think that I am going to be OK to make them for her 8th Birthday!

Today I went to a baby shower for a friend who is having a girl. This was my first shower/baby experience since "the loss" and you know what? It did not even phase me. I am really glad, too. I did not want to become that black cloud that gets sad and depressed when others are joyful. Lori is such an amazing human being and has had struggles of her own and I could not be happier for her. I am just really glad I feel that way! The shower was at a house in Piedmont, a town west of OKC, and it was very nice. I forget how much I love the peace of the country until I get out there. Then as Magan and I were leaving, I started to remember how far away it is from the city, how the roads were not paved, how I am sure there are wild animals, and realized I am not cut out for the country life. It sure is beautiful though. Their backyard was amazing. It really was a nice time.

I am counting down the minutes to go eat dinner! I am starving and my husband's little brother and one of his college friends are over and are going to go out to dinner with us. The only consolation is I have to wait until the end of the golf tournament that they are watching. I watched the OU/UNC game with them and got disgusted. Blake Griffin was the only player playing today, and if the rest would have played, we COULD have won! Poor Blake, I felt bad for him.

Last night at the Couples shower we had, all of my doctor's staff were there and have completely convinced us to try IVF again. We are on board 100%. The next round, if we can figure out somethings, will be in June. We will keep you posted! ~Amy
