My internet has been down since I got back from Austin on Monday.  As many of you know - my ds is being deployed and dd, ddil & myself saw him off . . . it was an emotional 2 days but I'm so proud of him . . . he leaves the states in mid-February.


Then to get home and not have internet - I was going nuts - - but thankfully this afternoon (actually 32 minutes ago) it was restored.  It seems the internet provider "lost" our modem info so they couldn't transmit to us . . how does that happen - - we didn't change modems, have had the same one for 13 months . . . I was ready to come through the phone each time I had to explain "no we didn't get a new modem"  "no, we aren't requesting a modem from you"  etc.    But - good news - that is behind me - - yes!!!


Ds, Ddil & the kids went to Build a Bear last Friday and Ds 'taped' 4 bears for ddil & kids as well as 2 more for his sister & me . . will be so nice to hear his voice for the next 11 months.  The bears are adorable and he said he 'actually' (dgs #1's word) enjoyed doing it.  Of course, when he gave me mine - I had tears as I wasn't expecting it; then he had to go through the same thing with his sister. . . but he's tough - - his Mama wouldn't have him any other way.


So - there you have it - MC is back online . . . will try to read through the posts but if I miss one . . . I'm glad to be back :)

Hi MC


I was wondering what happenned to you. I tell you having no internet is sure a bummer huh? I bet you were not to happy when you found out why. Sure glad you are back online and once again posting.


What a sweet thing for your Ds to do so you can hear his voice while he is gone. Will sure be keeping him in my prayers as he is deployed overseas.


Love ya

first, welcome back


next, I can understand your frustration over the internet loss..we get so dependent on it


and last..all the best to ds..where will he be?


my step ds just got back in Nov from 2nd deployment to Iraq..so we can relate to your emotional state


we finally saw him Dec 26 and just hugging him again was very emotional for me, and it took me by surprise


the Build a Bear with recordings was a great idea!!


hugs


Dutch

Computers...so frustrating at times, but can't live without them!
