Internet, Updates and More

Let me just say, it's not easy finding high speed connection out here in the country! Thankfully, we are set and I am surfin' like I haven't had a chance in weeks!!

The bills are finding us at our new address...for some reason I thought it might take a few days but here they come, ready or not!

Enjoying and LOVING our new home. Everyone is actually. We've had a constant fire going since last Saturday I think. So toasty on these windy winter days and nights.

The wind blows out here. Hard. Loud. Wakes me up several times a night!! Ahhhh, no neighbors to block the wind. No neighbor lights shining in my windows. Love it all!

Update on rooms:
1) Antonio's room is all but done and should be ready for pictures this weekend.
2) Girls' room is all but done and will be ready for pictures very soon.
3) Nursery - Getting there! My niece Mandy came and helped me work in it on Monday and boy did we make headway! If baby actually came now, we'd be fine! Praise the Lord.
4) Kitchen - LOVING IT! I love that I have a deep wide sink that will hold my Pampered Chef big baker in it!! Love my new dishwasher that cleans and dries in less than 90 minutes!
5) Favorite new appliance - washer and dryer! The dryer actually keeps up with the washer, allowing 4 minutes to change loads!!! Never thought I could be so excited about laundry but I have to say, I look for things to wash now. It's a Maytag Neptune and oh so pretty.
6) Dining Room - coming right along.
7) Master Bedroom - Finally painted and dressers moved in. Toilet hooked up and running so that is HUGE when it comes to using it every hour all night long....
8) Main Bathroom is ready for some pictures to be hung and we're set there. It's a beautiful blue that I hope comes through nicely in the pictures we'll post.
9) Shag Room - Slowly but surely we're making progress here. It's not a room I see daily so sort of "out of sight - out of mind." A dear friend gave us some awesome big comfy chairs to go in it that really make a difference in the layout. Thank you, Jimbo!
10) Foyer - almost ready to post a picture... it's a beauty!

When I can't sleep in the night now, I come out to the living room and watch the lights of Caldwell and beyond and think how good God is. I have a great view of Bogus and love seeing the snow on the mountains. The Owyhee's are gorgeous right now, too. So, I just take it all in. When you're in the neighborhood, stop by and see us! Just ignore boxes here and there and a remember we're a family of eight now!
