Is this not the cutest set you've ever seen?

 
These are the pieces that Debbie got me from her store!  So fun!
I spent part of today trying to clean up my scraproom.  I have pictures everywhere, so I'm trying to go through a stack every time I go into the basement and figure out a way to organize them better.
I also took down the two tins my mom got me and the muffin tin and started to...

He doesn't cooperate often for me to take pictures.  But he knows on the first day of school there will be no getting out of the pictures on the porch.

Wow, he just looks so grown up - how did that happen over the summer?

Tomorrow is Zach's first day back to school.  He had a few days of trying to get his schedule in order, but things are finally all figured out.  Tomorrow morning we will be getting his picture taken on the porch (that's about all he allows me)
I got to spend the past few days hanging with girlfriends, and we had a blast. It began on Monday night when we all met up for dinner at J Bella.

I just can't get over how beautiful Mount Union is.  From the moment we stepped on campus I fell in love with it and understood why Chelsea wanted to go here.

Even with Brenda moving to Michigan, we still make time for each other.  Whether...

Remembering Joe today...

On this day in 2003 my brother was rushed to the hospital where he spent the next 3 weeks fighting for his life.  He battled back through every obstacle, but in the end it was the surgery to save his life that took it.

Not a day goes by that I don't miss him and wonder why his life was cut short?

I'm working on a mini album for my girlfriend.  We are getting together on Monday with friends from out of town to celebrate all the "girlfriends" summer birthdays, then we will spend Tuesday hanging out and shopping!  Can't  wait!
Here's some of what I got done.  I think I still want to add some details to it...

I found these matching stickers and built the entire album around them

Oh my, it's approaching quickly and I'm not sure how I feel about it.  On the one hand I'm so excited for the new adventure Chelsea is about to begin.  But on the other hand we had such a blast this summer, I don't want it to end! 
I'm going to miss all the fun, laughter, work outs, talks, pictures, adventures, vacations and family time we have shared!
School shopping began on Monday with both...
