Future Pastry Chef

June 10th, 2010

I have the most excellent news, I’m going to The Institute of Culinary Education to become a pastry chef! I start in July. I’m completely and totally excited about this. This has been a dream of mine for as far back as I can remember. And it just so happens we’re financially stable enough right now that I can do it. Plus, they offer classes that work with my busy mom schedule.

So: Yay!

And here begins chapter 327 of this here blog. Stories to come, for sure!

    Thank you, guys! I am so freaked out/excited I could puke.

    Seriously, I’m not even sure what to do with myself.

    Thanks. It’s been a really weird, emotional year and I’m really pleased to be doing something like this for myself. So, thank you.
