We are Officially "Reconnnected"

Well, we've been here a week, and after much "blood, sweat, and tears" (literally!), we officially have a home phone and internet connection! We are no longer living on a stranded island...which I am more than thankful for! (And we didn't even have to contend with the "Others", but it still seemed pretty awful!)

No, but seriously, even in the midst of our impatience and frustrations, the Lord has seen us through and provided much greater than we deserve! We were released from our cell phone contract, had our "land line" connected, temporary dial-up internet connected (until we get dsl), dinner provided, AND given a FREE desk for Rob from our apartment office (they got new furniture and were getting rid of the old)! UNBELIEVABLE! We truly are doing so much better than we deserve! And He really does give us "blessings, ten thousand beside"!

Hey is Rob going to blog his experiences. How else are we going to live vicarously through him?

By the way have you met the Kurth's?

I'm not sure if Rob is going to blog on this blog or his own...ask him Nate. He told me that the complete "blogging experience" means I am supposed to respond to the comments...sorry for the delay on the response! I didn't know the blogging etiquette! And yes, we have met the Kurths and Toby is holding up his end of his sworn secrecy between you two!

And Eileen...we got the idea to read A Severe Mercy from you guys! After Brad read the excerpt in Sunday School to the kids, we were hooked!

OH, and our official dsl will be hooked up tomorrow!! Rob can't wait and neither can I!
