My First Anniversary Cake

Since I decorate cakes sometimes for Potlucks at our church, people there know that I'm into that kind of thing. Mrs. Lidster asked me a few weeks ago if I would make an anniversary cake to celebrate her daughter's 2nd year of marriage. I was so happy to do it! She said that she wanted red velvet cake, because that was Shane's favorite, and pink flowers, because that's what Rachel wanted. So here it is! They just came and picked it up last night :)
On a more serious note, please pray for me. Every joint in my body feels tight, and it is excruciating to move anything. My knees, my elbows, fingers, toes, ankles, neck, and shoulders. I don't know what is going on. I have never had anything like this happen before. I thought it might be an allergic reaction to something, but I haven't eaten anything odd lately. Tyler told me to check my hair for ticks, and I didn't find any. I have colapsed twice today because my knees decided they didn't want to hold me up :) Please pray that I will be able to move without pain, and that we would figure out what the problem is.
In Christ,
Amy K

So many exciting things have been happening since I've been back from camp! (no pictures 'cause my camera broke... Waaaaa!) When I was gone, there was allot of work being done to fix up and clean out the gymnastic gym that Tyler and I used to attend so he could move his business there. And now Tyler is the owner of Apex, a tumbling and cheer gym!!! (apextumbling.com) Even though I have a very low tolerance for cheer leaders, and cheer moms, I run the office. On Sunday someone at church asked me what I did and what my job title was, and I didn't know! Haha! So I asked Tyler and he said I am the "Office Manager". Doesn't that make me sound so important? I have been working there since it opened, August 1st. I'm stoked to be able to work along side my brother there. He is an excellent employer.
Adam got back from being in College Station for a month, working on an independant film called "Indescribable". I think it will come out in a year or so. He was the head sound guy. It's been nice to be back together as a family again, and get back into our family worship time every day. It has been a great summer!!! But summer won't be over until our friends the Blairs come to visit us like they do every year on Labor Day :) Sefan Blair just visited us a few days ago, and he got to go see the gym and everything. Tyler even put him in the spotting belt on the trampoline and Stef did a back flip! And that's saying allot because he's so tall! (and not a gymnast :)

Here is a chocolate cake that I made for potluck last week. I also might have another cake job coming up! Yay!!!
