Rain!

We were very blessed this week and got 3.5 inches of rain over two days, it was wonderful! I wish everyone around here had gotten that much, but we'll take it. Everything is much greener now and I got to see the dry creek below the house with some water in it for the first time ever!

One exciting bit of news is that I'm writing this blog from home on our new high speed internet connection!!! :) Granted, I can't use it for work, but they were offering HughesNet satellite service with no installation or equipment fees (usually about $500) and with a reduced monthly rate, so we jumped on that offer. It's great to kind of be in the 21st century out here finally!

Since it's been awhile, here are some photos from the last few weeks:

Ashlyn driving! (scary!) She finished the online driver's ed class and will start the (parent, aka John, taught) driving part when she gets her permit after she turns 15, yikes!
