For the past 12 days I’ve been without the internet, a storm decided to roll in and somehow lightning stuck our telephone line and fried our DSL modem. Of course, when it rains it poors and Embarq (our DSL provider) couldn’t even send us out a new box because they were on backorder.

So, no internet meant a HALT was put on my new computer search, blogging, emailing, all of that fun stuff.

FAST FORWARD

Today ended up being a good day, I ordered my computer parts last week and Monday I took them over to one of my brothers friends to get it put together…I picked it up today so now I have absolutely NO MORE COMPUTER PROBLEMS!!! I can edit photos like a breeze and it is such a beautiful thing.  No more running out of HD space, or Photoshop seriously taking ten minutes to do ONE simple thing. I am so relieved and excited. But, it gets better! We came home and checked the mail and UPS was here yesterday I guess…(we were in Chicago picking my sister up from the airport) telling us we needed to go pick up a package…and that could only be ONE THING - - DSL MODEM! Hallelujah!

So yes, computer and internet back in the same day…how awesome is that?

I will have a lot to write about in the next few days, including blogging a fabulous wedding from the 13th.

It is now bedtime, goodnight everyone!! :)
