a Little Sunshine for your day!

So tomorrow is THE BIG DAY! (no not the wedding, but another BIG DAY)
Tomorrow is Move in Day at X. The whole summer the university has been preparing for this day, when the froshies arrive in all their nervous glory to become a part of the Xavieran family. Each and every move in day I've been an active participant. First year obviously I was moving in. I vividly remember feeling overwhelmed, lost, scared, but also excited, accepted and ready for fun! Second year was my first time being on the other side of the fence, as university staff welcoming the newbies. I LOVED moving people in, sympathizing with their struggles and enjoying their excitement. I didn't stop running around ALL day moving kids in, helping carry items, talking to parents about the wonders of this university and that their kid was more than safe with me. Third year I was part of the Senior RA staff, being the Mamas/Papas of our new RAs and our New froshies. It was just as exciting as second year move in day, but funner because we has a brand new building to show off, even though it had recently flooded displacing 11ish residents to lounges. Ah the fun!
Now in my fourth year, i'm neither frosh nor RA. BUT I am going to be a personal tour guide to a very special family, The Triggs!! :) Grace my lovely cousin fell in love with X when she came to visit in april, slaved over Pre-cal summer courses and has finally made it to being 24 hours away from being an official Xavieran :)! At the crack of dawn we are getting in line at the KMC, (where we will see Scotty posing as Mister Apple Man) and then heading to Lane to move her into her temp room! All very exciting, i'm MOST excited to be on the other other side of the fence again, moving someone in :).
Now for the sunshine!
Lets begin with my newest little creature friend, Ginger. This is the kitty than lives in Megans house! In a house full of girls Ginger gets all the love and attention a kitty could hope for!

Next, is the three teddybears I made out of sugarpaste last week from a tutorial on you tube! adorable :) I can't wait to try some more!

Here are the sunshine cupcakes I began this morning :)! I used my new icing tip and it turned out beautifully! here are the naked cupcakes!

Next we have the sunflowers I created :) They were inspired from my aunt Kellys cake she made for James' birthday :) ! It was BEAUTIFUL, so I attempted some sunflowers of my own!

Here is the finished product :) I added some leaves because the green really adds some colour! They are all packed and ready to head off to Bishops hall to "add some sunshine" to a potentially rainy and stressful day as two of my fav ladies move in their froshies!
