No Internet!?

Hello Friends and Family!

I know, I know, it's taken me forever to update the blog, but this time I really do have a valid excuse :) Time Warner is so backed up that we had to schedule our installation appointment for our cable and internet for 10 days away! So, we won't have cable or internet at the house until this Friday, August 15!!! I am currently sitting in Panera, eating breakfast and enjoying coffee...and using their free wireless :) Everything with move-in went extremely well! Mom and Dad and I arrived safely at 104 Judson Street on Sunday afternoon. We immediately started cleaning and scrubbing everything, and continued to clean for the next 2 days! The house wasn't necessarily dirty, it's just old :) After many many trips to Lowes and Bed, Bath, and Beyond we finally got everything moved in! I love the house - I promise I will attach picture next time, and Liz and I are settling in quite nicley. Liz got here on Wednesday and we helped unload her truck - she brought all of the furniture for the house so we were very glad to be able to set up the living room and dining room and make it look like a real house!

Liz's sister has been here helping her move in but is flying back to Raleigh today, and mom and dad just left yesterday, so she and I are getting ready to try to find a normal routine! Mom and Dad were a HUGE help with move in - there is absolutely no way I could have done it without them! Make sure you all give them a big pat on the back next time you see them! Mom is a much better shopper than I am so she was happy to spend all day out shopping for just the right furniture and desk chair, and as long as dad had his trusty drill he was ready to assemble any and every piece of "put it together yourself" furniture we could find!

We realized about mid-week that there was still way too much to do at the house, and we made the decision not to go to Niagra Falls...I'm sure we will go again on a later trip when JW is able to come up too! The weather here has been interesting! The temperature is very nice - 70's and 80's with very little humidity, but we've been having lots of days where it rains sporatically throughout the day! It will switch between bright sunshine and rain 3-4 times a day!!!

I'm still working to get my room organized just right, but as soon as I do I will take lots of pictures and upload them! Hopefully I can get back to the internet sometime soon! Until then....love you all!
