No More Excuses!

I use to have so many excuses for not adding to my blog. First - it took quite a few weeks before we had phone or internet or satellite service. It seems that along with the post office and the school district and UPS, there is no such place as Jacobs Lane. Even now, we still aren't on Google Maps. We ordered the three previously listed services and the companies would assure us that someone would be out on a certain day. That day came and went. I had stayed home for nothing (unpacking boxes - so I guess it isn't exactly nothing). I waited a few more days and then went to our old house and called since we still didn't have phone service and thus hadn't disconnected the other phone yet, and the various companies said they couldn't find us. I once again gave specific directions as to our location and set up another date the following week. By now it is after Thanksgiving and we have been in our home for more than two weeks. Finally, after having the various technicians and installers call us for directions we finally got all set up. Then after a couple of weeks, our modem went bad and we had to send for another one. Of course, they said they will be sending it overnight, but since UPS couldn't find us, it took a week. Second - Christmas came upon us then and all the kids were here, including Erin and her boyfriend. It was a great time for all. Third - Tons of boxes to unpack and sort out and throw out, etc. Fourth - now I am out of excuses, so I guess I had better get back to keeping up this blog, so my kids can know what is going on with our life.
