Long Time No See!

Hi Friends!  Sorry it's been so long since I've posted!  Life is crazy anyway, but I had to study for my certified coder's exam and take the test, so I felt like every minute needed to go to that!  I took the big 5 hour exam on Saturday and found out today that I passed!!  Yay!  Now I can earn a little extra money to pay for Catholic High School! 


I LOVE this great Fall weather.  Just went to D.C.M's football game and it was perfect weather for it!  It's this time of year that I start wanting apple and pumpkin desserts.  This is a popular pumpkin dessert, that I would never have thought I would like--I'm not a big pumpkin pie fan--but I really love this.  I always add extra pecans and serve it with a little scoop of  vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
