A Kiss To Build A Dream On: Computer Issues

Computers. You can't live with 'em. You can't live without 'em. As I said before my computer has been on the fritz lately. Actually, it died a sad slow death. Luckily, Daniel and I got a iPad for Christmas. So I have been using that for most of my, eh hem, research. :) Unfortunately iPad doesn't like blogger. :(

About a month ago, Daniel tried to "update" my Macbook Pro. It crashed. Just wouldn't boot up. When it did boot up, it didn't work. Luckily I had most everything backed up on an external hard drive, which I highly recommend doing if you have not. Getting into nursing school this Fall means I absolutely NEED a computer. Also my photo editing software has to be on a computer, so it was inevitable...the computer had to be fixed. The quote to fix it was around $700 (YIKES!) and after thinking about it for a while we decided just to go ahead and get a new one (DOUBLE YIKES!). In computer years, it was just too old to fix for that much money, so we ordered a new one.

Well, it came yesterday! Thanks to my neighbor Jacky who said I could have it delivered to her house and graciously held it there until I got home from work. Great neighbors are such a blessing! Macbook Pro's have come a long way since I got my first one. It's so cute and lightweight. My old one was a 17in. This one is a 15in., which is the perfect size! And after we figured out how to get all my files off my external hard drive, I was back in business! I can't wait to get my editing software on here so that I can edit some pictures that have been sitting on my camera for weeks! After I do that, I will put lots of pictures on here and update everyone on whats been going on with us.

Here it is! So exciting!
