There are certain things that you should not have to live without and we found out one of those things when we moved to our new home. We had always wanted to buy a home with a comfortable amount of land. To do that we had to move out of the city and more into the outskirts of town. Now you can get wildblue satellite if you live in the rural and isolated areas. When this happened getting the internet was splotchy at best in some areas. When we asked about the internet while looking at our home the realtor said they are working on getting it out there. When we decided that was our new home we did in fact have some what of an internet connection. After we moved in I was called out of town. That meant my wife and small children would have to spend the night in the middle of no where with no phone and no car. I told my wife they could stay at a hotel for the night and then we could spend our first night together in the house but she felt they could get some unpacking done. As luck strikes twice a big storm came over them on same night. My wife was nervous and my kids were scared. They were very happy when we started sending notes to each other. Some how it gave them a way to take their mind off of what was going on outside. Then the unthinkable happened and we lost our connection. We could not get our connection back. I felt so helpless to easing their fears. The next day I got home and was relieved to see they were fine. That night I realized the true value of the internet.
