Heart Broken…

Heart broken tonight to hear of the passing of John Ammons. John and Sharon were our first missionary friends. We were at training together, began our missionary journeys together, celebrated, cried, laughed, learned, served and share so many firsts.

Finally!!! After so many frustrating experiencing with trying to pipe icing, have icing explosions, icing covering every surface...but the cupcakes, poo-looking icing, salty icing from crying, icing on the wall, icing in the trash and promising I would never make icing again...I did it!!! I made 40 some cupcakes, piped icing on them all in less than 5 minutes and topped them with candy hearts and sprinkles!!! YEAH ME!!! Kid's class Valentine's done, party games organized, paper goods packed, cupcakes done...I am ready to celebrate!!!
