I'm So Tired

Well the trip to Georgia and back went as planned, but I'm so tired. We got back to Cedar Falls at 12:30 last night, and I worked this morning at 10. It made for a long day yesterday, we left Atlanta at 6 a.m. and drove until we reached home. It took us 18 hours to drive that distance, that is enough driving to wear someone out for months. But it's done and over with now, thank goodness.

Places to Go, People to See

Well Christmas officially kicks off for us this Friday night. We leave friday afternoon, after we get off work, for Albert Lea to my Mom's side. Then we have Christmas, on Christmas Eve with my Dad. Christmas Eve night we will have supper at my Dad's but wait until we get back from Georgia to open gifts, so Denise can be here. Christmas Day we travel to Fort Dodge, for Jenna's mom's side. Then December 30 we have Christmas again at my Dad's with Denise. Finally, we have Christmas with Jenna's family on New Year's day. This rounds out the whole Christmas holidays.

High Speed Internet

Today I was doing some checking into different options for internet, for my Dad. I never knew how many different ways to get internet there are. He currently has dial-up internet, but needs fast speeds for when Denise gets up here since she will be working out of the house. Next I checked into DSL High Speed through local telephone providers, but that didn't work out because none of the local telephone providers offer DSL in his area. So that limits what possible options are left, because he lives out in the country there aren't many options. The last option is satallite internet, when checking into this it sounds like the option that he is going to have to take. That was quite an experience.

One Week Closer to the Holidays

Now that Thanksgiving is done, we are weeks and days closer to Christmas. I am excited for this because I am taking a week off between Christmas and New Year's in order to help my Dad move his new wife Denise up here. It should a fun trip, we are flying down there the day after Christmas and then driving back. We'll have to see how that goes.
