It's been a while since I posted and I'm sorry. It's been hectic, lots of stuff going on, and I didn't wish to blog from my phone. Did that in the hospital, don't want to do it again.
Anyways, here's what happened:
Hubby and I decided that it would be financially responsible of us to move in with family, get out of debt, and save up the money to put a down payment on a house (I believe I already touched on this topic before). After weeks of packing and getting everything ready, we planned to move in on Saturday the 27th. Hurricane Irene had other plans so we changed our move in date to Monday the 29th.
Irene was such a harsh storm that the basement we were moving into got flooded. This had only happened once before in the many years they've lived in this house and so the in laws were not expecting it to happen again. We moved things into storage on Monday and packed a Uhaul trailer to (hopefully) finish the move on Tuesday.
Success! We moved everything in, set up the furniture and I began the process of unpacking. Hubby went to set up a computer so I could continue to run my Etsy business (see widget on the side of the blog hint hint), but we couldn't get a solid connection. We then went to Best Buy and picked up a wireless USB adapter. Hubby's computer decided it didn't like the idea of being wireless. We thought it was the adapter, returned it, and when we tried to use a completely different brand we quickly discovered it was the computer. We tried it on my computer, but I'm a dope and never upgraded to Vista Service Pack 1 (yeah, I know) so the adapter refused to work.
Turns out the problem was really between the keyboard and the chair. We were plugging into the wrong Ethernet area. Once a proper connection was established, I hooked up my machine, downloaded SP 1 (and 2) and a bunch of other updates and now the wireless is running smoothly!
All the rain after Irene caused another round of flooding in our apartment and thank goodness for de-humidifiers. A few of the furniture pieces are slightly damaged/stained, but I think we're fine. Nothing needs to be replaced immediately thank goodness.
In other news, Luke is now sleeping in his crib at night! There was a huge struggle between hubby and I which was essentially the "battle of the stubborn", but Luke is at that point where he's starting to roll over in his sleep (or at least go from his back to his side) and it's safer for him to be in the crib. Luckily the crib is on wheels and I can put it right next to the bed so my OCD can wake up and check on him 15 times a night. He's still alive after two nights so that's good!
Luke is now eating sweet potatoes along with his cereal (video to come after I edit it and post to YouTube) and will be trying squash this weekend (which I will take a video of as well). My little man is growing up way too fast.
TL;DR- We're moved, stuff happened that prevented Internet usage but we're back. Luke's in a crib now to sleep and eating big boy foods!
