It took forever for us to get internet access. The internet company told us that it would take 2-4 weeks for them to get a line run to our house. At 4 weeks, we hadn't heard anything from them. At 4 weeks and 1 day (after a few phone calls) the internet company was on our block running cables. At 4 weeks and 2 days, we waited from 8am-5pm (as they had told us to), and no one showed up. A few phone calls later we learned that our project was "complete." Ha! The cables down the street weren't hooked up to anything and no one had been here to install anything. Thankfully a very nice installation tech was nearby and came at 6pm to check things out. After just a few minutes, we had internet using the phone lines that had been on our property the whole time!! But it was just a temporary line that was strung across the yard.
The next week, after several more phone calls, the internet construction crew was here again. This time to bury the line. It was a lovely Thursday afternoon. Vito was in Wisconsin for a wedding he was officiating. The kids were playing. Life was good. Then, BOOM! They hit a water line! Thankfully they had the water back on the next day.
It took about a little over a week to finish burying the cables and fill in the trenches. And as of Friday, we have official internet. Nearly 10 weeks since moving to Cactus and we have all utilities! What a trip its been!

| Nope, there's not supposed to be water here! |

| Eli loved the trenches. He's really enjoying living on a construction site. |

| Even Olivia is getting into life here--look at those bare feet! |
