So, my birthday was a few weeks ago, and Chris bought me this.
So exciting! I am excited to learn how to take really good pictures. In fact, I have already read the entire user manual and the entire "Digital SLR Cameras and Photography for Dummies" book. I went to a cool workshop this weekend where I learned all about different types of lighting. It was awesome!
We went to St. George last weekend for the UMEA conference. It was good break from school and we were able to do a lot of networking with several other teachers in Utah.
I have the best husband ever! For Valentines Day, he sent me roses at school. All of my students (particularly the girls) thought it was really sweet. I did too. He really knows how to make me feel special. He also continued the tradition of giving me a noise-making stuffed animal for Valentines Day. Plus, I got chocolates. He spoils me so much! Here are the goods.
Since Chris's favorite food in the whole world is cheesecake, I decided to attempt to make one. I didn't have a recipe, so I googled "best cheesecake" and made the first recipe I found. It was a complete and total success! Chris loves it ( we still have half in the fridge which I'm sure he will finish off quickly). It was a great recipe and I will definitely do it again. However, next time, I'm going soften the cream cheese to room temperature before I start. I think it will make it smoother. The flavor, however, was PERFECT! I also made a tart raspberry sauce that complemented the cheesecake very well.
It was a great weekend and I am SO LUCKY to be married to such a fabulous man. He is the best husband anyone could ask for. I love you, Chris!
