so what if i watched 8 episodes of cake boss in 24 hours?

ok i admit. maybe i'm a little obsessed... but,

they made a toilet out of cake. that flushes. 

what could be cooler than that?

i want to be on this show.

in other news, i got a full helping of spiritual meetings today. 

mr. josh g. fab & mr. connie r. martin, two of my dear friends, had their farewells today. they are the babies of my age group, & the last of my favorite boys to depart on their missions. it's going to be strange having them go because they've been here while everyone else has left, but i couldn't be more proud of them. i am so blessed to have such great examples & friends in my life. although i'll miss the texts, chats, & nighttime drives, i'm excited to be their pen pal for a while. good luck, boys.
i will miss you.
