MIA, Stupid Computer....

I have been so bad at updating. It seems as though the days are meshing together and which I thought were days gone, had actually been weeks.

Everything is good, just busy. We had a wonderful, blessed Christmas. Our family has been faithfully provided for and I am amazed at what God has helped us accomplish!

Brittany and I spent 6 days in GA visiting with my brother, sister-in-law and new nephew over Christmas break. We were so excited to arrive the night before Elijah's birth and spend some awesome quality time with our newest family member.

While I was gone, Paul held the fort down pretty well. My mom had taking the other 3 kids two nights while Paul worked, otherwise he did pretty good. This was a moment when I came home and realized 'hey I can leave and the kids will be OK and the house won't be burnt down!'

My computer and I have a love-hate relationship! I can maneuver a computer pretty well, at least the programs, but when it starts acting up I know how to completely screw it up! My computer had been acting up for some time-shutting down in the middle of something, blue screen pops out of nowhere, but when I got home from Atlanta my computer failed...majorly!

I couldn't get it started, no matter what! My warranty had expired the month before, ha-just my luck and we really didn't have the 'extra' money lying around to take it in. Tried fixing myself to no avail. I didn't have anything backed up-2,000+ pictures was my main concern. I ended up doing a factory restore and lost EVERYTHING! yeah it wasn't the right move, but I needed to get homework done, and didn't have the money to get a new one or take it in.

I'm still recovering from my picture loss. For the most part I have been able to transfer pictures from our desktop computer, or take from this blog. But I am sad that my Christmas pictures are gone, videos and pictures from being in Atlanta.

That's my life lately, goes good until something breaks then all hell breaks loose. I have to remind myself that I do have a good life, food on the table, warm bed and love of family and friends.
