I've been without internet since my last post a week ago. The Qwest internet box thing-y (my term, not theirs) finally came last night after seven o'clock and Toben got it set up. When I saw how many email were in my inbox, I promptly shut the lid to my laptop and decided to wait until this morning.
Besides I was almost at the end of the second Traveling Pants book and I wanted to finish it. (I read The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants by Ann Brashares while we were at the lake and I was totally surprised and loved it. So I was excited to get the second book in the series at the library yesterday morning.)
So if you've sent me an email or commented on my phone updates on Twitter or Facebook, I'll take a peek at them just as soon as I finish saying good morning here.
I have lots to tell you, posts swirling around in my head, but don't want to overwhelm you (or myself!).
So for now I'll just tell you that we arrived safely on Thursday afternoon, cleaned the house (can't put my stuff away until I wipe down cupboards and clean bathrooms), had everything unpacked and put away by Saturday morning, and are feeling all settled.
More in a little while,
Joanne
P.S. I missed you!
Good Morning to YOU!!!!!

Can't believe you're all unpacked and settled!
Can't wait to see what God has in store for you there.

So good to know you are safe and settled! I KNEW you would love the VV Lakes clubhouse/pool area stuff - they are AWESOME! Also make for some GREAT family pic backdrops (we had Hattie's adoption family sitting there!).
I just watched the 2nd Traveling pants movie yesterday ... GREAT!
Keep cool and love the adventure!

Glad to here you all arrived safely. And I also like to have cupboards and the bathrooms cleaned REALLY well upon arriving.
Take care,
Karen

Glad you made it safely and are settled...that's the worst feeling to be so exhausted and not settled in.
