"Baby it's cold outside!"

Well today was snow day #1!  I was lucky enough to see it start early this morning.  Reese woke
me up to get in bed with us (this is her usual habit) around 3:00 and I took advantage to see if it had started!  It had, but it wasn't accumulating very much.  By the time Preston got up to go to work (around 7) it was a winter wonderland outside!  It was so nice to spend the morning with a cup of coffee in hand while the snow fell outside!  

I also tried to take advantage of having a lazy day off from work!  I spent the day taking in inauguration festivities on tv, completing my grad school application online, and baking.  I am proud of myself for making history and for taking care of my application!  Now I only have to take the GRE.  YIKES!  I have made it through studying for the literacy part... now I just have to tackle the math!  Of course math is a struggle for me so I will really need to buckle down!  

I thought I would post a couple pictures of two of my favorite things.  My new Kitchen Aid Pro mixer and my grandmother's swiss chocolate cake recipe.  Preston has asked me to try the recipe for a while now so with time off I gave it a shot!  It turned out yummy!  I can't wait for him to come home tomorrow and have a big slice!  I love cooking for my man!  :)
