Shae and I

      Out of all of my experiences with Shae, there is one that takes the cake, literally. One of Shae's most promising talents is her baking. She enjoys baking and completing exotic projects. We decided that we should build a three tiered cake, with each level representing a goal. Now, I have baked plenty of cakes in my lifetime, but I must admit that making a layered cake is not the easiest!

     The first layer we made was vanilla, the second layer was half chocolate and vanilla, and the third layer was marble. To make you all even more hungry, we put cookies and creme icing on it. The first layer represented our goal of achieving something that we thought was a solid accomplishment. This is where our mountain hiking idea came from. Our second layer represented our two personal goals. Shae wanted to do well on her standardized testing, and I wanted to do well on my biology final. In between the baking, we made a verbal commitment to apply ourselves so that we could achieve those two goals. Our third layer represented our goal of creating a better bond with one another. Shae came up with the great idea of making a memory box. The memory box is where we could put a small piece of memorabilia from our activities together. Lastly, we ate the cake and watched her beloved show, Law and Order SVU.
