"You are not here to live a mediocre to average life; you are here to live an amazing life, a miraculous life. If it weren't for your challenges, there would be no miracles. You must do that which seems impossible, for it is only in the impossible that miracles are had." - author unknown, but very respected

"Go where few have gone before"

My Uncle Forrest turned 60 this week and I had the honor of making the cake!  This cake was funny because I really didn't love the idea of it to begin with.  It wasn't something I was real passionate about.  It sounded funny though, so I wanted to be part of it :).  After I got going on it, and had finished the outhouse, which I thought turned out really cool, I started to really get into it.  It was a fun cake.  I liked getting a little more creative and I liked that I had the right tip to do the cacti :).  Also, Nate was one of my main supporters through this one :).  He was cheering me on through all of my mess ups and redos.  He is my biggest fan and I love that.  
I was happy to hear that Uncle Forrest liked this one :).  They were all so generous with the compliments and that made me happy :).  I even got a phone call from him out of it :).  I'm not sure where his love of outhouses comes from, but turned out to be pretty fun.
