Lacking Communication

A few days ago, our internet was down. (due to our neighbor changing the password and our internet would not connect for some reason) Todd spent hours trying to figure out the problem. The neighbor would tell us the new password, but was vague on telling us what else they changed.
Then on Wednesday, I tried calling Todd on my cell phone. It would not go through as it said our account needed more money. My first thought was that we just had not paid the bill since we had no internet. The relief society president even came over asking if we had switched phone numbers. (After I told her we had no phone nor internet, the thought came to me that she probably assumed we were too poor to pay the bills)
So for a few days, we had a very limited amount of communication.
However, the true reason why we had no phone service is due to the frustrating customer service of our provider. Previous months, they overcharged us on our automatic billing, so Todd had to call and complain. They said they would start charging us less and mail us a check for the overcharge. This month, they did charge us less, but apparently, not enough to pay the full charge and give us any service. When Todd saw that they charged us, yet we had no service, that made him very upset. After calling three times, spending over 2-3 hours on the phone with customer service (who did not speak English as their first language), we finally have service. After playing with the internet settings, connections etc, for 2-3 hours, we finally have internet.
The whole experience had a huge lack of communication. period.

Bruised, Broken and Taking It Well

Last Thursday, my 93 year-old Grams and my uncle Gordon were in a car accident. Todd and I went to visit them in the hospital on Sunday. While seeing them with cracked ribs, broken pelvis and jaw, and bruised, they still were their wonderful selves. Gordon talked football like he had seen all the bowl games. Grandma Fuller smiled, laughed, and played chicken foot. They sure were taking it well. We love them!

(Old)New Years

To ring in the new year, we attended a party thrown by our branch president. He and his wife provided a little concert as the Sliversmith's, then karaoke was the rest of the party. We learned about Todd's fun musical side with his performance of Johnny Cash's Ring of Fire and other songs. Then we did a duet together, a country classic, It's Your Love.

Since there was only 14 people there, we ended up doing some audience sing-alongs.

Out of these 14 people, lets just say we were by far the youngest, probably with a 20-30 year age difference. Todd said, "For my New Years party, I went from being single and hanging out with family and friends, to being married and hanging out with the oldies!"

Todd helped to liven up the party and we had a great time ringing in the new year! Happy 2011!

Please enjoy some of Todd's Ring of Fire performance.
