Brent posting: So, I baked a cake tonight. While I was baking I made lemon frosting. I was following directions (mostly) for the frosting, but it was too thick so I added a "little" milk. This made the frosting too thin. When the cake finished baking I tried to cool it on a cooling rack. It turns out I wanted to cool it in the pan to keep it in one attractive piece. I reassembled the pieces and drizzled the icing on top. The cake turned out ugly but delicious. I decided this is an analogy for my life. I do things my own way and they don't turn out pretty, but they turn out good. So the good news is we found out today that we could refinance our house. The only issue was we needed to have a job. Luckily, I accepted a job offer a little later with e*trade. Also, Caroline made her first sale at her Etsy shop. And the final really exciting news is we had our soil tested and we have great soil in our garden!!!
