We are still alive!

Posted by Riley On September - 30 - 2008

Hey everyone we just wanted to let you all know that we are still alive and well.  We moved into our house on Sunday night and are now waiting for our phone and Internet to be hooked up.  I am at David Bunches house using his Internet.  We have found that the Irish don’t get in a hurry as far as services go. Once you get them up and running they are great, but it’s the wait.  They however would say us Americans are just impatient and that is more than likely the case. ;)   They also all do quarterly billing.  So not only are they not in a hurry to get my phone turned on, they are not in a big hurry to get my money either.  So I guess I can wait.  So we are going to have one really big blog once we get things lined out.  We have a lot of pics we want to get posted for you all to see.  I want to thank all of you for your comments on the blog.  Tara especially has enjoyed them.  We are going to do our best to personally respond to each of you, but like I said it is hard without Internet.  Most of you who know me realize that I am about to go crazy.  I havent’ been this disconnected since I don’t know when.  How do third world country’s do it?   Anyway thank you for your prayers and support.   We will make another update as soon as we can!

    So good to hear you are all o.k. How is Church doing? What are you doing for furniture? Have you got to look for a car yet? Seems I am full of question. Your Dad and I are doing o.k. We miss you and love you all. I have been writing to your e-mail so when you get internet you may have a lot to read. Give the Kids a hug from us
    Love Dad & Mom

    Hey! You’re alive…that’s good news. :) Better than the alternative. It was great hearing from you the other day, and I’m working on a plan to get you four wheels (and a car body attached too). :) Love you guys, tell the kids hi and that Aunt Leisha loves them.

  3. Deborah March Said,

    Glad you are about to get some what settled. I believe things are going to work out for your car.(dad said something last night) Dad and I bought our tickets Mon. We will be seeing you in Dec. We will leave out of Memphis on the 18th. Give the kids a GREAT BIG hug from us. Love you all!

    Hey there!

    Good to hear from you…..I was going thru withdrawal! I miss seeing you all and having you around here at the church! Tell Peyton we miss her in Wednesday night class.

    Congrats on the house. It looks wonderful.

    CAOH tickets go on sale Sunday! Are you ready to be on standby for all my questions? I hope the Irish internet techs can get you hooked up by MIDNIGHT OCTOBER 5TH!!!!! :)

    Love,

    Aunt Becky

    Hey Riley and Tara,
    It’s great to see you on site and things beginning to unfold for you. All of us are extremely proud of you and will remain on your team and in prayer for you during your term of service in Ireland. I have been reading all your post and the comments and am enjoying experiencing your “story” via the internet.
    Blessings to you and the family,
    Bobby

    Hello! I am glad to hear you guys made it to Ireland and are doing ok…I am trying to get on here every now and then to see how things are going. Can’t wait to see some pictures. I really look up to you for taking a huge step like this. Ya’ll take care!

  8. Cindi Wibbenmeyer Said,

    It is so good to hear that you all are alive and well. Well what can I say? I have decided that no matter how long you all are gone, it will not ever be the same, Bro. Riley, without you sitting on the platform and without you, Sis. Tara, sitting a few rows up from where we usually sit. I miss you guys. I miss the kiddos also. Can’t wait to hear more from Ireland. I know that God is going to do wonderous things there. We love you all and you are in our prayers. God Bless.

    Congrats on the house – send pix people – I want to see it so I can feel like I’m there :) I’m sure you’ve been a huge help to the Mac’s thus far and it sounds like David and Farrah are being a help to you as well. I’m just flat out jealous – but you know I mean that in a good way!
