A Bored Becky

Yes. It is true. I finally gave in and started my 'first' official blog. When Justin and I first got married, Justin suggested that I start a blog. I was completely opposed to the idea. This was around the time that the movie, "Julie and Julia," hit theaters and everyone on earth was creating their own blog. I did not want to be one of those followers, so I turned down the idea immediately.

However, as time has passed, many of my friends and family members have created blogs. I find that I go on their blogs everyday and love reading what they have posted. I love knowing what is going on in their lives. The real reason why I have given-in and started a blog is because I have completed my Masters in Teaching program and am job hunting. While I am unemployed, I have been pretty bored just sitting around the house with nothing to do. In the past few weeks, Justin has yet again mentioned that I should start my own blog. Again, I was opposed to the idea because I thought that I would have nothing to write about or nothing interesting to share. So here we have it, I am creating my own blog and it just a space for me to share what is going on in my life here in the South and my sweet creations that I make in the kitchen.

In high school, my first job was at Cold Stone Creamery. While I worked there, I became the cake decorator. That job started a hobby of mine that has grown throughout the years. I love baking, decorating cakes and cupcakes, and my latest obsession- cake pops! When I am bored I love to bake. My brother, David, would always say, "A bored Becky is a good Becky!" Growing up in a family with eight other siblings who all had sweet tusks (as David would put it) baked goods would get devoured in a day. I could bake as much as a want and the little creations would always be gobbled up in one day. Being married, and having it just be me and Justin, things don't disappear quite as fast as I'm used to. It doesn't stop me from baking away though :)

So this blog is for me to document my sweet creations in the kitchen and allow my family and friends to know a little bit more about our life down here in Raleigh, North Carolina. Enjoy!
