    We finally had satellite internet installed ... we went with WildBlue, and we love it! :) It's much faster than dial-up. It's not the speed of cable, by any means, but it'll do. :) We went with the least expensive package, which is the slowest speed, and we're happy with it! We had to hire someone to trim one tree first because a branch was right in the line of site of the dish, but at least the installation of the system was free. :)

    Everything is good here ... just working a lot, as usual, and doing school stuff. Michael has been pretty busy at the shop, too, and he's still enjoying his work. I'm still volunteering at the fire station most Monday nights, and I'm also going to be at the EMS Symposium in November, which should be fun! :) It'll be a great way to get a bunch of my continuing ed credits out of the way, too.
