Burger Cake!

Hi everyone, most of you may know that one of my biggest passions includes baking. I started baking as a little girl, my biggest inspiration was my mom. She would always make our cakes for our birthdays and I thought it was the coolest thing ever! I remember watching her as she took her time with each cake spending 6 hours at a time in the kitchen. At 8 years old I got my very own Easy Bake Oven and that's when I became a baker.

We've Fallen In Love

On October 4, 2015, Pastor was going to announce our engagement, but due to certain circumstances that did not happen. Instead on October 18, 2015 we finally got our announcement. However, that did not stop us from having our engagement party on October 4th. I knew I wanted a fall themed party and with Kelly's help, my wish came true. Here are a few pictures from the night, I wish I would have taken more!

 

Engaged!

 On September 19, 2015, Adrian Proposed! 

The day before, Adrian's mom called me and said they were picking me up the next morning to take me out to eat to a fancy restaurant. Only one thing popped in my head and I knew the day had finally come. I could hardly sleep that night, I was just so excited for what he had planned for us. The next day finally came and when the doorbell rang I opened the door to find him standing alone with roses. We got in the car and took off to start our adventure. I had no idea where he was taking me. We got on the freeway and he kept driving and driving. I constantly asked him "where are you taking me?" And he refused to tell me. About an hour into the drive I knew he was taking me to Sedona, Arizona. We finally made it to the destination, L'Auberge de Sedona. Where we had lunch next to a beautiful creek. After we finished eating he requested dessert. Which really surprised me, I thought we would walk around first or go somewhere else for dessert. Our waiter came with our dessert and as he sat the plate down he said "congratulations" I thought to myself for what? I look down and see the watch on the plate and I look over at Adrian and he's already on one knee when he says

 "Valerie will you marry me?"

I'm back!

Hi Everyone!

Most of you may remember me from my last blog Miss Valerie JoAnn. Well, a lot has changed from my last post two years ago now. Wow, time really does fly by. I wanted to take some time to explain why I stopped blogging. First, life was crazy busy and no, it has not slowed down but ultimately my number one reason for stopping was because of school. That story will come at a later time. I wanted to start blogging again after I kept getting inspiration, from Pinterest of course and after my friends kept asking why I stopped and that I should start up again. After taking some time to think about it I thought why not? I also kept debating if I should start from where I left off or start a completely new blog since I am married now and for other reasons as well. Oh yeah guys, I am a married lady now and that will be my first story.
