Can we rewind a couple of weeks?

The last couple of weeks have been so insanely busy that I pretty much missed Christmas. Not the actual day - that comes whether you are ready or not - but the whole spirit of Christmas. Between preparing our new office space, moving in, moving my office home and about a bazillion church services, life has been crazy. Now it's starting to settle down and I'm thinking about putting up my nativity set (yeah, I know it's two days after Christmas...but I still have to do some Christmas baking, too).


Some scenes from the last few weeks:



Gotta' love men in hot pink gloves...and ya' gotta' love handprints painted on the back of the door (Actually, they were kinda' cute...until you have to scrape them off. Then, not so cute.)

Sue scrubbing...
...while her husband Tom put new baseboards around the conference room (absolutely worth the price to not have to scrape a thick layer of blue paint off of the old baseboards, which we did in the other room).

Oh, how I wish I had pictures of the actual moving process...some scenes would have been priceless! But alas, my camera was always seemed to be in the place that I was not. Maybe it's better that way...

I'll save the rest for future posts. I promise to get caught up sometime this week, especially since my wireless network and my Vonage phone are both working at home again AFTER EIGHT LONG MONTHS!!! I plugged everything in on Saturday and made a quick 5 minute phone call to the internet company letting them know the MAC address for my router. They said it would be working in 10 minutes and I (somewhat cynically) asked how late they would be working (expecting to have to make several more calls before it actually worked. You can imagine my shock when, less than ten minutes later, the wireless actually worked and the Vonage started without a hitch! Why did it work for 10 months, NOT work for 8 months, and then, all of a sudden, it works flawlessly again? Who knows...but I'm so thankful it's all working again!
