High Dive

Check out the high dive from the show at the Cumming fair. The video is one minute long and the guy does not jump till about 50 seconds in. So be patient. And sorry it is sideways. Not quite sure how to fix that.


Last Tuesday I took the kids to the Cumming Country Fair. It was student night, so all people under 18 got in free. It was a lot of fun. I scared Patrick the last time I took him to a place with amusement rides, so I was not sure how he would do. We would like to take the kids to Disney World sometime in the next year, so I was hoping the fair rides would go over okay. We stuck to the slower rides and Patrick did great. In fact the one ride he went on twice was probably the 'scariest' one of all. Disney World here we come!

OUR HOUSE!

I am coming to the end of another week and happy to report that this one has been a lot less stressful. We still do not have someone scheduled to fix our basement leak, but because of the flooding all the waterproofing/basement people are working overtime. We will just have to wait.

I changed our car insurance to GA insurance. It was not too much of a surprise that it was higher than in OH. (there is more traffic here, I was rear ended and I usually saw an accident a day on my trek back and forth picking the kids up from school) But it was a bit of a shocker that it doubled! :(

But for good news:

All the components that Leonard had ordered for our 'theater room' in the basement have arrived. Now we just need to figure out how to wire it all together.

My washing machine is fixed and I can now wash clothes at home!

I got my GA drivers license because it expired on my birthday and I did not want to end up with a learners permit again like I did in OH by letting my license expire.

Our trash was picked up for the first time yesterday. Was great to get some of the garbage out of the house.

My car repair was completed today, so I now have my car back!

I planted some mums in the front yard to get ready for Fall.

I celebrated Lenny's and my birthday yesterday by going out for ribs, then taking Lenny to his first cub scout meeting at church. And we have plans this Sunday to go to my parents house to have dinner and cake and ice cream with Shane, Megan, Kolayna, Brett and Mom and Dad.

I am looking forward to spending time with my family and relaxing.
