The Drought is Over

Six weeks and one day. That is how long it took to get internet in our house. People have decided murder trials in less time. People have met, fallen in love and gotten married in less time. WARS have begun and ended in less time. Somehow, someway, we managed to go six weeks in our new house without internet. 25% of Riley's life has passed since the last time we had internet. As you may be able to tell, I have not been too thrilled over some of the developments of the last, oh I don't know, SIX WEEKS AND ONE DAY!

However, despite all of that, we are so happy to be in our new place. We (specifically Missy, I watch Dirty Jobs on the Discovery Channel) has been busy organzing, sorting, painting and just generally settling in. There is still lots to do, of which I am mostly responsible for, but for the most part we have settled in. Riley seems to love his new pad. We have a pretty busy road out in front of our place and he loves watching the cars go by. That has been our new sedative for when he starts to get fussy. We just step out on our porch and watch the cars.

Once we officially own the house in early 2008, we will start some major work on the place. Between ourselves and my contractor father, we have plenty of thoughts of things we want to work on. By the time we are done all of them, Riley will be putting us in the retirement home and/or the poor house.

So anyway, we are in and are once again part of the 21st century. More blogs to come. If you are reading this, thank you for not assuming that I was never going to post again. For awhile I wasn't so sure. And now that Riley and the computer don't share the same room, more blogs should be coming. I just hope I am more diligent at blogging than I have been about hanging pictures.......

And here is a recent picture of Riley enjoying his new digs.
