Goodbye Mr. Mac

Last Saturday Michael was getting ready to take a test for his online class and the computer froze. We tried to force quit but nothing was working so I just turned off the computer. I turned it on the find a white screen with a flashing black box in the middle with a question mark. I knew this couldn't be good but was hoping the computer was just locked. Unfortunately there isn't a Apple store here, so we went to an Apple repair center to find they had gone out of business. We came home and I called Apple and they informed me that our hard drive had crashed...ARE YOU KIDDING ME! I then spent the next 2 hour talking to a man in the Philippians, trying to restore the hard drive. Mission not successful. Mrs. Mac was shipped off and we're very thankful he was able to be repaired thanks to our Apple care protection plan. The bad news...we like most other people I know never backed up our computer so the past three years of our lives are now missing. Goodbye pictures, goodbye music, goodbye every document I've written. You will never know how much you depend on your computer until you're without. I seriously felt like I was disconnected from the world. My advise for the day...back it up!

Happy Birthday BFF!!!

Today (actually tomorrow, i wanted this to be done before your birthday) Katie turns 25! Katie and I have been friends since 7th grade. We've been through thick and thin together and I wouldn't be the person I am today if she hadn't been a part of my life. Katie is the most loyal and genuine person you will ever meet. This girl has a heart of gold, and I feel privileged to call her my best friend! Happy Birthday Kate!!! Here's to 25 more...WE LOVE YOU!!!
