What an exciting night! We finally! got internet at home. I had been expecting a call all day to schedule the installation but instead I received a call asking if I was home because the technician could be there in 5 minutes. Yup. We’re home. And please, please come by. October could not contain herself as she has been desperately wanting to play some games on her tablet that needed an internet connection to update. I was excited to not have to sit in the freezing cold commons of Jeff’s school to post blogs, surf facebook or work on my Spanish language lessons. Jeff was excited to get on and watch some American tv and make updates to his online game as well. We immediately tried out video calling on Viber and on Facebook. Success!! I figured out a paid-program that provides me with a work-around to be able to watch Netflix, NBC, Hulu, CBS, etc. Once the internet was installed, there was nothing else happening. No dinner. No american homework. No cleaning. The kids ate whatever leftovers we had, October made herself an egg, Lavender had cold cereal and Scarlett had cheese and crackers. I caught up on all the episodes of Parenthood – which took until 2am and then we turned on House and watched until we fell asleep on the couch.
Besides being able to indulge in some serious couch surfing, I can now research where to travel, study my Spanish lessons, look up recipes, translate notes from school, catch up on the news back home, post blogs, find directions and most importantly chat with YOU! We can video call easily through facebook or sign-up for Viber (our Washington phone numbers are our contact numbers for Viber).
Yahoooo! Houston we have lift off! So exciting!! We’ll have to check out this viber thang. Enjoy the connection ;;))
That is AWESOME!! Funny how something as simple as the internet can have so much meaning.
