Courtship Pictures!

I've noticed that a lot of my blog titles have exclamation points. I guess my life must be pretty exciting!

And speaking of exciting, I am now officially in a courtship with Mr. Joshua Lambert! We announced it Sunday the 16th.

After church we decided to take some courtship pictures. Apparently we were a little stiff in some of them, (we're still getting used to all this :) ) and so we will probably be taking some more. But in the meantime, here are the three that were deemed worthy and one that was too funny to leave out.





Photobomb!

We had a lot of fun, and I'm looking forward to doing it again!

Cake Recipe

I've asked for this cake on my birthday for the last two or three years and will probably continue to do so for many years to come. Yes, it's that good.


German Chocolate Caramel Coffee Cake

1 box german chocolate cake mix                     2 Tbsp. butter
14 oz. caramels                                                 5 oz. evaporated milk
12 oz. chocolate chips

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Prepare cake according to directions. Pour half of the cake batter in a 9x13'' pan and cook for 15 min. Melt caramels in a saucepan and add butter and evaporated milk. Remove cake from the oven; add caramel mixture, chocolate chips and rest of batter. Cook another 20-25 min.

I could eat this stuff all day! 

And instead of ice cream I always request lime punch. 1 container lime sherbet and enough ginger ale to get it to the desired consistency. Yum!

Birthday Fun

It is now day two of my twentieth year! I must say, my nineteenth year definitely goes in my top five most eventful years, for more reasons than I can take the time to write down.

No, I don't feel much different. People always ask me that on my birthday (and yes, I probably do the same thing to other people) and I always say "I won't feel twenty until right before I turn twenty-one" or insert whatever age I was at the time. The same thing happens to me with years. Usually, I won't get used to the fact that it's, say 2013, until about November, and then before I know it it's 2014 and I have to get used to a whole new number!

My birthday was a lot of fun. Daddy always takes us out for the day for our birthdays, but he usually can't take us out on the actual day. That's always been fine, but it was kind of neat to do it on my birthday.

First, I got up at six. Not normally what I would choose to do on my birthday, but Daddy and I had to be somewhere at seven-thirty, namely the dentist. Yes I did say dentist; not the first thing I would have thought of for a birthday outing, but it had to be done. As it turns out my first birthday present of the day was discovering that I was not developing a cavity, which was what we went to check on. Next, to the bank to cash a birthday check from Nanny, and then to the Foundry to spend said cash. That was a lot of fun. And then we went to the Bright Star for lunch. OH, MY, GOODNESS!! Some of the best food I have ever put in my mouth. I won't go in to details since this post is getting long, but suffice it to say, I am well and truly spoiled. Then home to rest, eat supper, and enjoy my favorite cake and some lime sherbet punch.

I forgot to take the camera on my outing! I could just kick myself. But maybe I'll post some pictures of the great tops Nanny got me for my birthday. No promises though, you guys know how I am about pictures!
