What's been going on!

We've had a few things going on since I last posted.  First off, I got a job!  I will be working at the Child Development Center on Ramstein Air Force Base!  The Child Development Center is sort of like a day-care, but runs more like a pre-school.  They start taking kids at a couple of months old, and it goes through 4/5 year olds.  There aren't pre-school classes at the elementary school.
I've been spending the last few weeks running around, working on paperwork (there are so many security, medical, and whatever else, checks to be done).  I finally got all of the paperwork done, and had my general orientation last Thursday.  It was kind of boring, but not too terrible (I got paid!).  I officially start work tomorrow, Tuesday!  I will just be going through training and what not.  I don't know yet what age group I'm going to be with, but in my interview I requested pre-school age.  So we'll see!
Other things:
- We are still doing our ladies' Bible study every other week.  It's been going well.  We just finished our lesson on Bathsheba, and we're moving into the lesson on Mary next week.
- We went to a singing that our friends, Kevin and Amanda, had at their house.
- Jesse's been doing a men's song-leading class.
- I got a massage! (it was part of my anniversary present)
- Went to my first Pampered Chef party!  I'm going to host a catalogue party on-line the first 2 weeks in May!
- Went to a baseball game!  Ryan (who worships with us) is on the varsity team at the high school (and he's only a freshman)!
- Jesse started back at the golf course.
- We went to the circus.  They had it here in Weilerbach.  It was really tiny, and pretty lame.  But it was definitely a cultural experience.  Interesting to see what Germans think "country western" is!
- Rusty got a haircut, and he looks so cute and tiny!
- I got to go shopping with my friend Michelle in Kaiserslautern (like 10 minutes from my house).  First time to go shopping since we've been here, and I was surprised at the number of stores that had reasonable prices!  I got an Easter dress for 20 euro!
- Had a potluck/surprise Birthday party at our house!

So that's the run-down of what we've been up to.  It looks like we were busy when I put it in a list form like that.  But it didn't seem like we were that busy...  Anyway, planning an Easter Egg Hunt that we're having at our house!  I'm looking forward to it!  I'm going to make cupcakes that look like Easter baskets!

Here are a couple of cakes I've made recently.
Our friend Caleb re-enlisted, and I brought this to his office for his ceremony.

Strawberry cake with cream cheese filling.

We had a potluck/surprise Birthday at our house.  This was for our sweet friend, Michelle.

Butter pecan cake with cream cheese icing (she requested it a month ago)
Well, that's it for now.  Hopefully I'll have some good things to report after I start my job :)
