So far that's what our weekend has been about...
Friday night we attended the local Buckeye football game to see Shawn and Cameron. We ended up running into Brett who is Joel's cousins son and became friends with Chelsea over this last year. He was there for the opposing team and for as crowded as the game was, it was amazing that we even ran into him. We stayed until just into the 3rd quarter since...

a busy but fun holiday weekend!
I'm at work sshhhh... don't tell my boss but it is so much easier to create a post using windows live writer and I cannot find a version for Mac... so not having my computer even makes my blogging tougher!
on a happier note...
Chelsea is coming home tonight!  She has to go back for tomorrow all day, but then she will be home Sunday, Monday and then Tuesday morning...

Well we are done with Zach's room except for bringing down another cabinet and hanging his things back on the wall. However the upstairs is a disaster from hauling everything out of what once was the den. So maybe sometime next week I can get that back together.
Here is the room after we got the border down and some of the stuff moved out... yikes! Check out all the wires for the computer! That took...

Well tomorrow is Zach's first day at High School! So many changes going on for him; Chelsea gone at college, moving his bedroom, starting at high school, a girlfriend! I'm sure he will adjust easily to the changes. There is no busing so that means back to dropping off and picking up for me.
Still on the new car search... now I've strayed from looking at just the Trailblazer (even though I still love...

a new normal???
It's Monday again and school has officially began for Chelsea. Zach's summer days are numbered, his first day of school is on Wednesday and I guess then I will begin looking for that new normal in my life.
Still no computer? Hopefully within a week or so I will have that back.
This weekend is the Patriot Bowl at Cleveland Browns stadium. Then Chelsea can come home for Sunday and...

So today we made plans to go out to breakfast with Ben and Chelsea, Joel, Zach, Lisa, Rich and Rose. We met in Kent at 9am and enjoyed breakfast and hearing of their stories during the time they've been adjusting to their new surroundings.
After breakfast we headed back over to the dorms - we wanted to check out Ben's dorm which he decorated so well with maps all over it. We also brought the kids...

Still having problems with my computer and its so frustrating! It works for a little while and then errors out again. So needless to say I"m going to be without a PC for a while once I run it back out to the tech guy again!
Chelsea seems like she's adjusting well to college life and finding her way around and band camp ended yesterday and she just has a performance today and then she is done and spends...

Well my computer is still acting up, but hopefully before it shuts down again I can get this posted.
Chelsea was asking me when I was going to post the pictures from their performance on Wednesday night, yet before I could I had to get my computer fixed.  So I spent my evening over the computer tech's house and we thought we had the problem figured out.  Came home and hooked the computer back up...

and I'm officially trying to figure out this Mac?
I have to take my PC to our computer guy tonight and hopefully he can fix it while I wait
We went last night to Chelsea's performance. It was all the Kent High Schools performing for awards and then the Kent State band performing for entertainment. They did really good and even with the short time they've been practicing you could tell the difference...

It seems lately I go from nothing to everything at once that needs to be done.  Or maybe its just I put things off until they HAVE to be done.  Either way there's a lot on my plate right now!
For starters I got my gorgeous Work in Progress kit to play with and when I saw there was a mini book with the project kit, I knew I had to get it.   So I've been working with that mini book on a project...
