Back Online!

Wa-Hoo!
...
We are up and running again. I tell ya, I didn't think I was going to survive another week without the internet. We were trying to wait to get it, but all the symptoms of an addict started occurring. I had to get my hands on a keyboard! My sweet husband agreed, but at the expense of his t.v. Funny thing, we didn't realize that we were getting cable channels for free until the cable guy came to hook up our internet. So, the mean man in the blue suit took away our stations! He wouldn't even give us a break! So, although my husband is suppose to be home right now, he took a detour to wal-mart to pick us up an antenna. (Just like I can't survive without my Internet, he can't survive without is t.v.)
...
Well, we are save and sound in our cozy, little apartment. We are trying to survive the Texas heat, (I don't go out much from noon to 6:30, unless it is to the pool). Our apartment complex is nice and seems to be a safe place. The pool is the cleanest outdoor pool that we have seen.
...
The ward seems nice. There are a few couples that are actually from Idaho in the ward. No volleyball through. I am still doing some digging. The RF presidency said there wasn't enough interest in it. How could someone not be interested in volleyball?
...
Justin is really liking his work, and that is a huge relief. He starts at 7:00 but is off at 3:30. There seems to be weekly overtime and it pays well. In fact last week he had overtime and they worked through the dinner hour, so the company paid for them to go out to dinner, and we are not talking McDonald's dollar menu.
...
I really miss friends and family. I can't wait to have more visitors!
Anyway, as soon as something eventful happens I will do some more blogging.
Stay Cool!

We are glad you guys finally got settled. It sounds like you had a hard time when you got there. We saw Ann and Stacey and little Tayden this week. Best of luck with the heat. Take care.

You guys will probably have the best tans this summer. That must be nice to have Justin home at 3:30, then you guys still have time to play before the kids go to bed.

I am glad things are moving along. Sounds like you better get volleyball started up! They don't know what they are missing! Enjoy the pool. I can take any heat as long as there is a pool!

You are in Texas!?!? I haven't been a very good blogger lately so I am a little behind. Congrats on graduation and on the new job. That is so exciting...First of all I am a little jelous of your husbands hours..No fair!!! Kyle is on Plastic Surgery this month and leaves home at 5:00 AM and usually gets home at 7:00 PM but tonight he is on call so won't come home at all. Next I know how you feel about a new ward and new place. Good luck you will do great and I hope you get volleyball up and going:) and I also know what you mean about all walmarts being the same....my Pennsylvania Walmart was a scary one, and I refused to go there when it was dark...Luckily Lexington has a great one! Sorry this is so long!
