We're Paying for Internet!

I know this may not seem like a big deal, but we haven't had to pay for internet since January of 2009. That's a really long time! The reason it is so exciting to be PAYING for internet is because now we will be able to have a connection any time we want AND it wont be spotty. Ah, the glories.

Also, even more exciting, we're living in a HOUSE! Three bedrooms, two bathrooms, giant living room and kitchen, and a garage (kinda, the garage is being used as storage). It is so exciting to not be living in a box and/or a place that is falling apart around us. People talk about the joys of being young, but housing is NOT one of them.

Tim's sister and family left on Tuesday for Germany. It was a very stressful and tiring process helping them get ready for their new adventure. This past week we have been working on getting the house in order, and have made only a dent. There is so much to be done. We have to pack up the rest of their stuff they left out so we don't break it or lose it and so we have space for our stuff. Our stuff is still in storage.

We have a lot of work ahead of us, as part of our arrangement for living here is to help fix up the place (as you can imagine, 6 young kids can cause quite the mischief...) Anyone feel like painting? Scrubbing? Patching? Hauling? We've got it all! In payment, Tim will cook and I will bake for you! And if you're very very nice, we'll let you use our wonderful internet.
