Arenacross Toledo

Sorry about the 1/2 upside down pics....blogger wouldn't let me turn it the right way. The pic above it what it looked like when we got to Toledo and the snow was still coming down.

Watching the races with my best friend!

Huntington Center

Will and I went to Toledo, Ohio this last weekend for our

anniversary getaway and to watch some arenacross. The

roads were horrible on our way to Toledo...it was a snowy mess.

I was so glad we left as early as we did or we would have been

in a bad way. We got to the hotel, took a dip in the hot tub,

took a nap and then woke up and went to Bob Evans for dinner.

I had a yummy chicken pot pie and will had meatloaf. It was

delicious. We went back to the hotel and played this game called

criminal suspects we picked up at Meijer. I'm pretty sure it's designed

for kids but we had a blast playing it. I went to the gym and worked

out on the treadmill while Will tried to figure out how to watch the UFC

fight. We woke up the next morning and headed into the city to watch

the races. The event was at the Huntington Center. As soon as

we walked in the door, you could hear the dirt bikes and smell the fuel.

Will was like a kid in a candy store. We watched his buddies team race.

It was so fun. We watched races for like 4 hours and it was one of the most

entertaning events I've been to. My favorite was the little kids on their 50's and

60's.....so cute I can't even explain it. We had such a great time. We headed home

and made it in time to go to to the Ellis's for Superbowl party!!! That was a blast.

Thanks Ceci and Chris for the delicious food, amazing party, and a victory for the

PackerS!!!! :) Overall, we had a super great weekend and it was much needed.

Hope everyone had a great weekend!

Yesterday Will and I celebrated our 4th Anniversary. Will worked all day and then has school all afternoon and night so we squeezed in dinner while he was on his break from school. I had to go to my school for a meeting with the Dean, which I ended up being 2 hours early for.....darn blackberry....I thought I was all high tech and scheduled it in my phone but I scheduled it for the wrong time. When I got back from the school, I found on our staircase up to our living room two while jewelry boxes. Will got me the cutest buttefly necklace with earrings and some big bling bling earrings....he knows my style :). When Will came home from work at 2, I gave him his present. I got him a new Fox backpack. He has been complaining of his old military backpack for ever but would never buy himself a new one, so guess what, that's what he got. He loves it and says it helps his back because it's not as heavy. I met Will at TGIFriday's for our annivesary dinner(classy I know) in between his two night classes. I ended up ordering some pasta and honestly it was freakin' NASTY. I as bummed so I just had a side salad. Will had a 3 part sampler and his was delicious. I had been working all day on making my first fondant cake. I thought our annivesary was the perfect excuse for baking. I am now obsessed with fondant. It's so fun. I was surprised at how easy it was to roll, cut, and decorate with it. I made a red velvet cake with buttecream icing and fondant. I surprised Will with it when he came home from school. He loved it and was so excited I finally tried to use fondant. We had a great anniversary and it blows my mind that we have been married for 4 years...2 1/2 of which have been spent in Michigan. We are truly blessed to have each other and to have such great family and friends. We are planning on going to Toledo for the weekend for Arenacross for our anniversary get-away. I am excited to stay in a hotel with a nice pool so I can swim some laps. I'll post pics when we get back!! Have a great weekend everyone!

XOXO .....Chels n Will

SnoW DaY 2011

Today was my first Snow Day....woo-hoo.....Cooley canceled school. I had so many plans and goals to get accomplished today.....including reading and writing a brief....BUT in normal Chelsea style I did nothing on my list.....instead I did what I wanted to. I had such a great lazy but fun day. I even got to spend all afternoon with Will. He worked from 6-12:30 and then brought my Jimmy Johns for lunch. He also filed our tax return this afternoon! So my day started off around 8 this morning. I woke up ate an orange and watched the morning news. I was super interested in finding out what the storm totals were. We ended up getting about 6-7 inches, which was not even close to the 12-18 they predicted BUT I feel like I lucked out....school wascanceledand we didn't even get that much snow. Anyways, here is what my

day consisted of:

Cleaning my kitchen....it's about time!!! I love a clean kitchen...it makes me want to cook :)
