New Things
Since we moved (almost 2 months ago!), we've been living in my parents' guest house, which was originally my dad's parents' vacation home. It was built around 1970, and it is made mostly of Plexiglas. The downstairs has three walls that are made entirely of glass, and half the roof is as well. It's a very neat house, but it does not hold heat at all, meaning the (electric) heat runs pretty much non-stop, (meaning big bills for us!) So my dad and Dan decided to replace the original fireplace with a woodburning insert, which (we hope!) will be able to heat the house all winter much more economically. The guys tearing out the old fireplace and installing the new one are taking a long time and making a big mess. The entire downstairs, (kitchen, living room, play area, etc.) is covered in fine, powder-like dust. (They put up plastic way too late.) Anyway, since my family is in Fla. till the weekend, I have moved the kids to my parents' place for the time being. It's pouring rain, and it's just easier to be here than in an extremely dirty house, where we couldn't even go outside to play if we wanted to. (Plus there is hi-speed here.
) I am realllllly hoping that the fireplace will be done by the weekend so we can move back home. The new insert should be really nice!!My birthday was two days ago, and Dan and my parents got me a new laptop.
I am so happy with it!! As I posted a bit back, my old lappy was 4 years old, and in need of a new battery, charger and a bigger hard drive. My new computer is very nice and very new. I love it so much that I'm going to call the local cable co. and see how much they would charge to run cable back to the house. Dan misses tv, and I (especially now!) really miss the internet. I can't wait to finish the stuff I have to do around here so I can mess around with my new toy and try out all the sweet new features.

I always love reading your posts. I have had a very long day... I have been sick all day but there is a lot going on right now in my family... so I haven't really had time to rest. I just have a cold, and feel flue like but it is amazing how you can ignore yourself when you are busy caring for someone else.. you know I just think you are so sweet.. what you did for me that time was such a blessing. I hope some day I can bless you back. God bless you - continue to shine for me He says.
Yay for awesome birthday presents!
Yea I think we would hit it off too. So when we come for a long visit to the states... maybe we can meet. I think that would be fun . But for now we will xanga. I am feeling better. Not much time to wallow in my cold this time... which is probably the best medicine . got to run though.. Liat is sleeping and Russell is out getting ice cream with Levi - this is MY time.
