I love summer, don't get me wrong, but this summer is different from any other summer I have spent. During high school summers I got to see my friends at FFA functions. Now, after living away from home and pretty much being around my friends 24-7, it's a change to be at home. Most of the time I love the quiet and solitude, but there are times I miss the girl-talk that comprised many of my evenings in the dorm.
My friends and I saw this coming, so we decided to set aside a weekend in June to get together. Originally, it was for Kathryn's birthday but after a postponement it ended up simply as a Girls' Night.
Kathryn may not be fond of a lot of attention, but we decided we had to do something for her birthday. The day before heading to her house, I had to go back to Columbia for a financial aid appointment and work, so Megan and I made cupcakes!
Purple is Kathryn's favorite color, so we dyed vanilla cupcakes using our new neon food colorings. I think this will become a birthday tradition.
And then Megan (the artist of the bunch- she does wonders with wood!) made each girl a special cupcake with their initial on it. See the light blue? That is cotton candy flavored frosting! I LOVE cotton candy. And my friends know it. So when Megan and I went to Walmart for baking supplies, we couldn't resist the cotton candy flavoring packet.
On the positive side: I think they went over pretty good. :)
On the not-so-positive side: I think I left the rest of my cotton candy icing at Kathryn's house! :(
