I don't know how I did it...

BUT I GOT THE INTERNET FROM MY OWN HOUSE!!!

My parents have wireless internet and we have been trying for months now to access it from our house and have been unable to do it. We have tried many things, and asked advice from all the computer "geeks" we know. (I don't mean to offend any of you that we asked for help!) All this has left us so frustrated and stumped - and not connected!

Dave is away tonight at a conference and I thought I would give it another try. I don't know what I did, but after a long time trying, I suddenly was connected. I DID IT!!!! YIPEE!!!!

So now that I am on here with my own computer, I think I will add a few photos of what we have been up to. Here goes...

My mom recently found this dress... I wore it in a wedding when I was Anna's age.

Emma had her best friend, Camille sleep over.

My parents took the girls to see "Arthur Live" at eh Honeywell Center. The girls had a blast!

Happy Valentine's Day...

a day late.

The heat situation...

In answer to the heat situation... well, we have heat! We had to file a claim with our homeowners insurance. That meant we had to pay a deductible - not fun! But a new heat pump was installed last Friday. So we are nice a toasty now... well, not really, because we don't want to pay the bill on being toasty, but at least we are comfortable enough. :-)

Happy normal Tuesday, or Super Tuesday, or Fat Tuesday, or whatever kind of Tuesday it is for you.

I haven't forgotten all of you...

Have you forgotten all about me?

We are enjoying life in our new house... except for the fact that we have to replace our heat pump! The terrible winds on Tuesday night knocked the heat pump on its side, causing it to cease working. We have had to file a claim with our homeowners insurance and they should be putting the new one in today sometime. We have been heating our house with a kerosene heater since Wednesday. I am getting a little tired of being cold and smelling kerosene throughout the house! The heater is actually doing a pretty good job... considering the house is 2300 square feet. Electricity is not cheap, but neither is kerosene. It costs more per gallon than gas. Not fun. But all things considered, we are doing well in the house.

We still don't have internet, but at this point, that is our fault and no one else's. We simply just can't afford it right now (since cable is our only option). So we are putting it off as long as we can... which won't be too much longer since Dave will need it for school (he is currently not taking any classes this semester because of the issue).

I have to get back home now and wait for the call that the new heat pump is on its way. I will try to post again soon. Sorry for the lack of postings lately. I am sorry to make all my fans keep reading the same posts over and over again. Please don't leave my fan club. Ha Ha

Happy February 1st to all of you that read this... Keetha, I guess that means you. :-)
