I went a little crazy last week baking all day on the President\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Day holiday\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6the prettiest creation? Mardi Gras cupcakes!! The frosting is wonderful cream cheese frosting from a can, but I made the cupcakes from scratch! Fun! It was a simple yellow cake recipe from my Better Homes & Gardens cookbook.  Fairly easy (would have been easier with a stand mixer!) and very tasty.   I went a little crazy with the frosting colors and played around for a bit\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6the batch made two dozen, so by the time Matt got home from work, the kitchen was covered in cupcakes and the other food I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122d been working on (chili, mac & cheese, apple bars). Very exciting!\"IMG_1055<\/a> \"IMG_1056<\/a> \"IMG_1057<\/a> <\/p>\n

Why all the excitement??? Big huge enormous wonderful news! <\/p>\n

Matt proposed!!!! AHHH!! So, it\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s been almost 2 weeks since then, but it happened on 2\/13 and I am still sort of reeling.  We aren\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t in any hurry to start planning, but are really enjoying the love\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6.lots of love to go around.  Plus, Santana is so happy! Look at her excitement: \"65678811\"<\/a> <\/p>\n

Of course, we put the ring on the pup\u00e2\u20ac\u00a6she was not very happy about this, but it made for a funny picture:  <\/p>\n

I LOVE it! The diamond was a gift from my grandmother for my undergrad graduation and it means a lot to me that we could take that diamond and get it set in the perfect ring.  Especially with someone I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m so crazy about.
