I'm lost without it

I have recently figured out that I am attached to my computer. I laugh to think that just last year I thought I don't need a computer, But ha! I am on it every day now. That is unless the dreaded crash of my computer happens. I think that I was in the early stages of withdrawal yesterday. The"computer guy" was at the house for an hour, thought he had everything working just perfect, went to print out the receipt for his work and the printer wasn't working. Great!!!
So last night the mighty Mitch(fix it man) when the computer guy isn't available. Tried to fix the problem, but too no avail...it wasn't going to work. So...today again the computer guy was at my house fixing the printer, another extra costa. But as he was leaving he said, I hope I don't see you tomorrow. Me too! Once he was out the door, I went to use the computer and I can't seem to get on to see my email. Great!! Well at least I can blog. I think we need a new computer. I have been saying this for awhile now. I think the time table just got moved up.

Have Faith

Well... I have been reading a few blogs this morning and I have come to the conclusion that I am not the only one who doesn't know what she is doing? And for those that I did think knew what they were doing I am in awe.
Our small family of three,Mitch,Shelby and I took a trip last weekend to see Jessica and her family. Drew was unfortunately out of town. But we got to spend some one on one with all the kids, and of course Jessica. I am afraid I wasn't the best guest as I was sick when I arrived. I am still sick and not sure when this thing that I have is going to go away. Hence, why I have been just sitting in front of the computer checking out blogs.
I do really love reading all the goings and comings of my friends and family. I just wish I was much better at the blog thing. Maybe its the learning curve and soon I will be up to speed.
Last night there was a card exchange I was invited to, which I couldn't go because I'm still sick. I really wanted to hang out and create. I love making those cards, and I hope everyone had a good time. I can't wait to make the ones from the exchange. Thanks to Teresa for hosting and maybe I will be able to come next time.
This coming Thursday nite I will be hosting a scrapbook night for all interested. I am looking forward to an on going time when I know for sure that I will be scrappin'. I am still trying to get my scrapbook room organized to the point where I don't have everything on the ground. Its a work in progress I tell myself. I should just feel lucky to have a room of my own(I do feel lucky)
I'm going to go blow my nose for the 100th time this morning and cough....

Help! I'm not sure what I am doing?

It has been sometime since I last blogged. I think it is still alittle intimidating to me. I usually have no trouble writing in my journal, but for some reason this is different.
I want to show pic's of what we have been up to lately, but Raechal hasn't shown me how to do that yet.
Shelby went to her first formal dance a few weeks ago, with a good friend. They had dinner at one of her girlfriends home, then on to the dance in a limo. She said she had a great time,after dancing up a storm, they went to Denney's then came home to the same girls house that they ate dinner at. She stayed the night with all the other girls and came home the next morning. She was really tired!!! But a pretty successful evening I would say.
Mitch has been slow at work so of course he is finding lots of other things to do. We are emptying our storage unit into the garage. The stuff left over from the room addition, finally we will have everything back to normal. WELL, I don't know if normal is the right word.
We will be going to Utah for a fast trip to see Jessica and her family on the 15th. I wish we could stay longer, but we will be back on Monday the 18th. I am hoping the snow will not hamper our traveling. I really hate driving in the snow. We have a bunch of stuff to take to Jessica, in fact it will probably clear out a lot of space in the garage. I'm not sure Drew will be as excited to see all the boxes though?
I hope every one else is doing great. I recently, read everyones blog updates. Things are going great for everyone. We send our love.
