Wireless internet SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!

I have been trying to post pictures from yesterday since last night and am having NO LUCK!!! We had cable internet at our old house, and it was speedy all the time. Ever since we have moved, our internet service has been sketchy at best. We get wireless internet free in this neighborhood, so I thought it would be nice. There is a router RIGHT beside our house too, so you would think we'd be good-not so much. Anyway, it took me hours to post these three pictures so now I am giving up, but we did have a great time yesterday at Ryan's work party at Craig's Cruisers and I have pictures to prove it, obviously for our eyes only since they won't post. We got there at 12:30 and ate lunch, then had a 2-hour wristband. They also had the inflatables outside of the park. We raced, went on the boats, golfed the mini-golf, and the guys all did the batting cages as well.

Cobe and Ryan on the bumper boats. Brooks and I got a bum boat- the squirter didn't work, so of course, everyone soaked us and we had no defense!!!!!

We really had a great weekend. We got up Saturday morning EARLY and went back to the old house for one more day of moving and cleaning. We had a showing there at 3:30, so we had a definite deadline of when everything had to be out and cleaned by. I never knew how hard it would be to clean an empty house. I thought it would be a matter of vacuuming and cleaning the bathrooms because without furniture, what else is there? I was sadly mistaken. It took me up until 3:00 to clean and it was backbreaking work. Ryan got all the stuff moved and all of the junk to Goodwill, so it is a great feeling to be done with that house. Hopefully it will sell now that it is empty.

After all that, we came home, got ready and went to Remick's for their annual pool party. We had a great time hanging out with friends. We made it an early night b/c Lisa had had my kids since 9:30 that morning and since we had worked all day, we were tired. The Onstotts went home and paid their babysitter, got their kids, and headed over to our place for the post-party. The kids all played until they left at 11:00 or so.

Sunday, we went to church and heard our new preacher preach. He was really good, and I enjoyed his sermon. We then headed to CC for the work party, then home to the pool. It was a busy, but fun AND productive weekend- the best kind!

Today was spent at Target (for about the 10th trip there since I moved), Best Buy, Lowe's and then home to meet with the guys who are making roller shades for my screened in porch. Sadie is napping, but when she awakes, we'll be heading to the pool since the boys have been asking all day. Hopefully, I can figure out something soon about posting pictures, so I can show some of the house. Don't hold your breath though if it takes me as long as it did to post these three!!!!!!!

Yuck! My wireless internet is extremely speedy, but I have my own account and my own router and don't share with anyone else! Maybe if you complained to the developer they could find faster service. Slow internet is one of the most frustrating things around!

I guess I am just going have to come over to your house to see it. I don't know if I can wait for pictures!:)

That stinks. We have had our fair share of internet problems too. Have you tried reformatting the pics? I wasn't doing that and it took forever but now they zip. Good luck with that. Sounds like you had a fun weekend. We'll see you tomorrow!

Ouch. Slow internet might be a deal-breaker for me. Just kiddin'

Glad you are all moved in and enjoying it!

That's not fun with the wireless. Hope it starts working better for you. Craig's looks like fun. I'm sure your house is gorgeous inside.
