Quick Update...

Just wanted to let you know that we didn't get our internet hooked up this week. :(
Yeah. The internet company canceled on us and now it's not being hooked up until next week. And we can't get our computer working. Not sure what happened but Darryl's been trying since Friday and no luck yet. So, we are now totally out of touch with everything/everyone. Can't even listen to music or watch movies on the laptop! We're at Rej and Clo's right now - they were very sweet and invited us over for breakfast this morning. And offered their computer so I could at least do a quick post!! Thanks guys! And thanks for the yummy breakfast!

Sorry to our folks as we haven't been able to call or even write but hopefully Darryl will get the computer working soon and the internet will be connected by Tuesday. Hopefully.

But, putting this in prospective - we went to the Anzac Day parade yesterday. Anzac Day is like Remembrance Day in Canada. The parade was really good. It really felt like being back in Nova Scotia as there was a lot of piping bands and kilts! And these type of ceremonies always choke me up. I get very emotional as I can't imagine what those men and women must of went through. Having lived thru a war/fought in a war must be the most difficult thing to experience. So, Darryl and I feel it's really important to always celebrate Anzac Day/Remembrance Day. To show our support and give thanks to all that fought for their country.

So, not having the internet really isn't that big of a deal! :) We'll survive! Just miss our families lots and wish we were in better contact. But, soon!!

We'll post again once the computer is back up and running. And once the internet is hooked up!

Happy Anzac Day and a Big Thank You to all the men and women for fighting for our freedom.
