Poor Phone but Hooray for Strawberries

So...long story sort of short...I left my phone at the institute on Friday and by the time I could get back there it was closed. It was later confirmed that it is still there and not stolen so that is happy news but let me tell you - without my phone for a whole weekend I've been going crazy!!!!! I'm very attached to it and use it for EVERYTHING!!!! It will be nice to be reunited tomorrow morning!
In other news...our grocery store has strawberries for 88 cents a container so we bought some and I'm going to make a strawberry cake today!!! It is so sugary, sweet and delicious.

The Basic recipe: White cake mix - follow the normal instructions
Add about a cup of mashed strawberries
3 oz. of strawberry jello mix
Bake like normal
For the frosting I just do your basic powdered sugar and butter combo and then add about 3/4 cup of mashed strawberries! The frosting is to DIE for!!! Every time I make it, everyone ends up just eating it straight out of the bowl, so make extra!! YUM!
I highly recommend this cake - always a crowd pleaser!
Come over tonight if you want a taste!!!

Robyn Update

I have 3 weeks left in the semester and I think I'm gonna make it. I've decided semesters aren't my favorite, but I only have to survive 4 more.... Starting fall semester I will begin the teaching program for special education at ASU and I am so excited. It's funny to think that some day I'm actually going to be a professional at something! And if things don't change too drastically I'll graduate spring of 2012.
Right now I also nanny a 4 year old girl, who is so much fun. We play outside, watch movies, paint nails, go to the park and library and eat snow cones. She loves chocolate and ALWAYS reminds me that I don't =). She dresses herself everyday and comes up with some pretty crazy outfits. I've been trying really hard to teach her how to make her outfit match lol. Nannying is the perfect job while I'm in school. I watch her in the evenings and then all day Saturday and get home in time to have a snack and movie with George.
Well, that's all for now!

Welcome

Hello friends and family!!

Hope you enjoy reading about all the silly things that happen in our happily forever after!!!
