Part 3

The way I see it I have 2 options...

The Canon Rebel t2i. It is a digital SLR camera that is AMAZING. I've had the privilege of shooting with one and fell in love. The photos are quality and it has some really fun toys on it too.

Then there is the MacBook air. Need I say more?

So what to choose?

Pros of the t2i

• I currently am using my sister's camera, which I know she would love to have returned
• Because I've used it before I know that I enjoy it
• Maasen recently purchased her own t2i and we like taking photos together
• Since my journey of getting rid of insecurity I can finally realize that I have talents, this includes photography and I would like to invest in this new found gift from the L-rd
• It takes GREAT photos

Pros of the Mac

• I don't have a computer
• I have never had a quality computer
• I recently accepted a job that requires me to do lots of outside research and study
• Hopefully soon I will be moving to a new home where I will need a computer of my own
• Mac's have a great warranty and after the initial shock of not being a PC, they have rather high user satisfaction rates

Feel free to leave your input, further pros or even cons of either item. I look forward to hearing from you. Tune in next time for the conclusion of the great blessing...

Part 2

"...get you whatever food processor you want."

Yep that's what he said. I thought it was pretty funny, seeing as I wanted a food processor so bad that Dad even knew about it. Yep it's true, I even had 3 dreams about one.

Well here it is the 9-cup Stainless Steel Prep 9 food processor by Cuisinart

It's WONDERFUL! THANKS DAD!

No more screaming out from the kitchen..."I need a food processor!"

So far I've used it to make a raspberry sauce for a New York Cheesecake

And mashed sweet potatoes, made with a vanilla bean...they were GOOD!

But that's not all...he super surprised me when he gave me some extra moolah too. There are a couple other items I've been vacillating between. But don't think I'm going to tell you that easy. Tune in next time.

The Beginning

I opened the mail today and was so excited to see the words PAID IN FULL. Although I paid off my loans awhile ago, I got the last paid in full letter in the mail today. It finally hit me when I saw those little words. I paid off all credit card debt long ago, but I had to pay for my own school. So it took some work to get rid of the debt. Here's the proof...no more loans.

I'm DEBT FREE!

  I know you can't read this one, but it says Congrats, your loans are paid...the next sheet is showing that there is no balance.

Yea...Paid in full!

So when I told my Dad I finished paying off all my debt, He was so excited!

He said "I wish I could have paid for all your school."

Me: "No worries, it's all paid for now!"

Dad: "I want to do something for you. I want to..."

Cass time

 On Saturday night little Cass and I had a long awaited time together. We made Turkey cupcakes that Cass kept calling chickens. It was a blast. She helped do everything including pouring in the "little brown things" (that would be chocolate chips). I don't know who had more fun, me or Cass. I can't think of a better way to have spent my Saturday night.



 Here we are before the fun began, Cass is showing off her gingerbread apron

Next we started mixing, she was very excited to turn off and on the mixer

After all the baking and decorating fun she was excited to eat her cupcake

Here we are with our finished creations

Yum!

I think she liked it!

After we ate the cupcakes Cass made a special one for Mama and Papa

So pleased with her "chickens"

And my version

Happy Thanksgiving everyone. We have a lot to be thankful for.
