Cake hunting. Anna is happy. And just woke up from a suger crash from earlier. I don't care what my cake looks like (well, there are a few design elements that I could do without), but man, I do love tastings. I went on my first one today... sooooo yummy. Cake, cake, cake. Mmmm. A tasting tomorrow and I think three (?) on Saturday. The great thing about this stage of the planning is that I let my sister and my mom pick, call and make appointments with all the bakers. I've been able to sit back and relax. I think I should have done more of this before. All along I've known what I wanted and any input muddled my thinking (or made me seem mean when I wouldn't listen to anyone... sorry, everyone) so I've pretty much found everything by myself (I even picked out my dress all by my lonesome). I still need a florist...hmmm :) Anyway, I like cake and Ray might even come with us on Saturday! Yay!
In other news, Brooke and I took a walk last night with our poodle Crackers and we ran into some friends that used to lead our youth group. One of them works for a ministry that sends short-term mission trips to the Caribbean, South America and Africa. We got to talking and he mentioned that they needed someone to help them out with promotions and fundraising. Um, kinda where I want to start! So I mentioned this and he said he would talk to his boss, but then he said there was absolutely no budget for anyone else. At all. I would have to raise my own salary. And of course it got me thinking about my future. My entire life, no matter what I wanted to do, I eventually want to start my own business. When I got into PR, I started thinking it would be really cool to have a consulting firm for ministries, non-profits and small businesses because I love being involved in something new, people in these fields tend to be super-passionate about their work, and I get bored easily with the same thing everyday.
So I have to wonder, do I want to work in this ministry or do I just want to help them because they are the kind of people I want to work with in the future? And I need a job that has a steady paycheck because my wonderful fiance decided to work for what he wants to do, not what makes the moolah (and I really do love him for it). But working with the at any level would give me great experience. Lots to think about!
More randomness... I'm going to see E.T. at Centennial tomorrow night with Brooke and some friends... I need to clean out my car... I need to do research for my class... I get to go to my future nephew's sixth (?) birthday party Friday (more cake!)... it should be a fun few days... Sugar-filled days!
