Cake for me please!

(cake photo here. These are cakes done by a friend, Audrey Ross. They are gorgeous!!!)


Ok, so I FINALLY got all the results for my interior design licensing exam I took way back at the beginning of April! (Yep, it took that long for them to grade and compile the scores from the two day exam!) And...


I PASSED

I am super excited! I can't believe it!

The test I took is described here: NCIDQ (this stands for the National Council for Interior Design Qualification) It's not the easiest thing to pass. The pass rate if you take all three sections at the same time, which I did, is just under 50%. This test is similar to the bar exam for lawyers or the NCARB for architects.

Now, as soon as I get approval from the state of Texas, I can officially call myself an Interior Designer (without getting fined massive amounts of money!)

(Sorry for the large text, I usually think that it's a little much, but hopefully that conveys the sense of "jumping up and down, yelling "yes, yes, yes" because that's exactly what I was doing when I found out!)

As promised...

Christian and his new delicacy: Enchanted Broccoli Forests!


Close Up:

All in all it was pretty good. Basically a cheese and egg casserole with broccoli stuck on top. Then you drizzle lemon butter over the top of the broccoli. It was pretty good, especially the lemon butter!

This is a picture I snapped of the sunrise late last week. It was especially colorful. Of course the camera didn't do it justice. It was MUCH more vibrant than the picture... Enjoy!
