Moving: unpacking, waiting for the Angel of the Internet

We are in our new house. No permanent Internet connection yet. The first installer - Wild Blue - couldn't get a signal.  They suggested I call Hughes.  Hughes was supposed to come today, but postponed until NEXT THURSDAY because they said their equipment is on backorder, When I asked why the rep made the appointment in the first place, the woman said, "Oh, those people are paid to sell stuff, they don't know what's going on."

I'm not getting a good feeling about this. . .

I've been using Tripp's aircard and laptop from work to conduct business, so did not have the URL for my moveable type. Matt just switched the aircard so I am able to eke out something to let you know I am here and will be back to blogging normally (whatever that is) very soon.

I did manage to write my article for next week's Catholic Herald.  It is an amazing story - not saying that because of my writing but because of the story God had in mind with this move.  You won't believe the surprise ending.

I'm really sorry about not getting to the giveaways on time. I overestimated what I could accomplish.  I'm sure that happens to all of you too :)

The move has gone smoothly. We've had a lot of help from our older kids. Problems that presented themselves were solved in most cases. But Tripp and I are aching all over and there is still a lot to do.

Will write more soon.
