Life without a Mailbox. . . or the internet

It is funny how life hands you one funny situation after another. Just when you think you have your current situation figured out, the next one quickly appears. Clay and I after three months of marriage solved the "homeless" situation and bought our first home. Funny situation #2, we moved into a brand new neighborhood and don't have a mailbox or internet. . . There is a big brawl going on between the developer and the Federal government. . . individual mailboxes or a community mail box at the end of the street. And so far no one is budging. So, how do we get our mail? Well, I have only done it once - we go to the North Logan Post Office and tell them we don't have a mail box. The one time I collected our mail there were 3 bills. I don't really want to go collect it again anytime soon. And who knew that internet cables don't get run with the phone and electricity? We didn't. Looks like we won't have internet for up to two years! Or we can go with super expensive satellite internet - but we really don't want to spend all our pennies to check our email. Thank goodness for internet at work during lunch breaks and trips to the Post Office.

Wow. It's not like you live on the edge of town or anything. No phone or cable lines? Weird. I haven't checked your blog in a long time, and I'm excited to see your design skills unfold on your house.

Bye!
