Bonfire, Baking, and Beams

What is the relationship between: a Bonfire, Balancing Beams, and Baking a Birthday Cake? Subliminally you may have thought the capital letters made up my average report card, and you are right! But if you thought a little harder you probably figured out these events made up my weekend. I attended my first gymnastic competition Friday night. BYU’s gymnastic team dominated the meet. I was very impressed with how each girl was able to jump, flip, twist, and stick their landings.
After an evening full of watching girls balance on four inch beams, flipping off the vault, and rotating several times on the bars; we headed up the canyon for a bonfire. Bonfires bring together quite the random group of individuals, but that is the beauty of those events. This night was no different. I knew many of those who were huddled around the blazing fire, but an interesting part about the night was when we were surprised as unknown car showed up and decided to join our group. I’m not even sure how it all worked out, but it did. I was too busy being captivated with the millions of stars in the clear sky. I love space and find it so fascinating; astronomy was one of my favorite classes I’ve taken. I used to be able to find and name all the constellations, but unfortunately I’m now lucky to point out a handful.
With my roommate’s birthday this weekend, my friend and I took advantage of it by baking an intense birthday cake. Baking is an all around good thing, I’d day. It’s relaxing, enjoyable, and the end product you can show off and eat. We went all out and baked a double layer chocolate cake with nutella frosting. You should have been there; all I can say is it did look as good as it tasted, it was amazing!
