Yes, it is true. Dad and I have stepped out of the confines of dial up internet service and into the new world of wireless!!! We finally broke down out of frustration and using the principle of time and eternity (well...sort of...the time lost waiting can never be regained) got a satellite internet service and then upped it another notch to wireless. This way, if we ever get a laptop...or when Joe comes with his laptop, or when John and Kate come with their laptops...we can e-mail each other across the room!! We did not sign up for the FASTEST connection, but what we have is definately an improvement and the opportunity exists, for a few(?) dollars more, to go even faster!! I am actually asking for a laptop for Christmas...why stop now?
It is a grey, cold, and wet day here. Snow is forcast for tonight and tomorrow. As you know, we decided to cancel our trip to Dallas in expectation of Elizabeth's delivery. We are very sad that we missed Luke's birthday party and the chance to spend time with the rest of the family. It was a tough call. Since Elizabeth has not delivered yet....she is scheduled to be induced tomorrow morning at 7am. Hopefully by tomorrow evening, we will be celebrating the birth of the long awaited "macaroni" (remember Elizabeth's description after her first ultrasound?).
Today is a good day, however, to welcome the Advent season, to begin the waiting and watching. Pope Benedict wrote that "Advent invites us to undertake the risk of stepping forward toward God's mysterious presence, which alone can make us free." Something to ponder.....
Dad is outside just now with his shotgun...ready to take on a squirrel that has been munching on the house. On thanksgiving day, he got a mouse that was WAAAY too casual in his comings and goings....with a broom! Forget the mousetraps! Ahhh, life in the country! It is good to commune with nature.
Well, I really do not have anything else to report...Our new e-mail addresses are:
hustedd(at)dishmail(dot)net
hustedl(at)dishmail(dot)net
Hope to hear from you soon!

Welcome to the world of fast internet connections, Mom and Dad! At this rate, you may be signing up for a facebook account soon!
Happy Church New Year, Everyone!
Missed everyone over the weekend - we're thankful for y'all!
Congrats on your upgrade, and on the many hours of time you'll gain. :)
I took an administrative liberty and altered your email addresses on there to spare you (hopefully!) from spam-scans... now the address can't be picked up unless someone's really trying to look for it.
Thanks Kate...it is good to have an expert in the family!! Maybe we can have some lessons over the holidays!
