Posted in Family, and Military Life

The good news was that the internet itself was working, but the bad news was that it took me a good chunk of the morning to get the router back up and running. Hey, at least I was able to get it to work rather than needing to purchase a new one. Sadly, that meant no fun surprises for Munchkin. 🙁 After…
