Last Sunday we moved Jenna into her first apartment. Of course, we picked the hottest day Toledo will probably have this year. It reached 96 and boy, was it humid. We got her bed set up, end tables and coffee tables put together, organized the kitchen, wireless network, etc. Dan and Natalie came back Sunday night and Jenna and I stayed and got some her bedroom unpacked and a little decorating done on Monday. We came back and then both girls worked all last week through Friday night. I spent some time with Lauren to get her all finalized. She even had the privilege of bringing all her stuff into the living room.
My birthday was Friday, so Dan and I and friends went to La Piazza for dinner. I had pink roses waiting for me on our table and even Jenna and Lauren were able to get off early and eat with us. Right after we ordered, my Mom and Dad walked in, so they joined us too! We sat there for almost 3 hours! It was a nice birthday. Thanks everyone!! :)

Saturday morning, it was back on the road after loading the Yukon and Jenna's car. Unloading Lauren was a much easier and faster task then Jenna. The guy working at the front desk of her dorm did get a good laugh though when we walked in with a large dresser for all her clothes! (the 4 drawers they give you just doesn't cut it!)

Lauren's roommates were really organized. She is in a room with one other roommate and they share a small living room and bathroom with 2 other suitemates. They planned their living room well. They have a black futon, small loveseat (provided by dorm), complete with fuschia slipcover. Add a black end table and coffee table, pink shag rug in the middle, zebra and pink pillows, pink lamps and a 22 inch plasma tv and they are set! It is so darn cute!!

We came back on Saturday night...it made for one long day. We then got Natalie ready for camp. She left Sunday afternoon for the high school team camp up close to Tiffin. They run at least once a day and this is their "team building" time!!
So, as you can imagine, it is very quiet here...
The laundry is cut in half...I'm only cooking for 4... and somehow, the house is staying cleaner....
Jenna and Lauren have had team meetings, practices and team dinners made by their coach all week, so they are keeping busy before classes start. It is also their "team building" week! Thursday they will leave for camp and then the real fun starts! Do we say Freshman initiation?
Andrew has CC practice every morning, so you can imagine I'm missing my drivers right about now. Jonathan has football every afternoon, so real meals are still hit or miss yet.

My Fab Five.....we won't be seeing this picture for awhile...... :(
