Back and Better Than Ever

WE ARE BACK!! I am so happy. I have missed the internet so much. Here is the whole story:

We bought our computer almost three years ago from Best Buy. We were offered the warranty and it took us a few days to decide to buck up and spend the 100+ dollars to get it. Boy, was it worth it! In the three years that we have owned the computer we have replaced 2 mother boards, the battery, and the power cord ( the power cord and battery alone were the cost of the warranty). Recently our computer has been on the fritz and we thought we would take it in for one last repair before the warranty expired. Well yesterday we got "The Call" from Best Buy telling us to come in for our "exchange". We were confused and excited at what that might mean. We raced over there and sure enough... they said that the cost of the repair was more than the computer was worth so they said they would give us a similar computer (which would basically be a net book or a really crappy computer). We were thinking we would just take what they would give us and maybe put in a little more and get a decent computer, but then the lady started showing us these awesome computers. She said that we just needed to pick one out. So, I asked how much we had to spend. Her answer stopped my heart... she said that we had 600 dollars ( the price of our original computer)!!!! Chris has not stopped smiling since we heard those beautiful words. So we picked out an awesome computer and paid 80 dollars extra for 4 times the computer and we also bought the warranty again. :) I LOVE BEST BUY!!! So, we are back. I will be posting a lot because I feel like I have so much to show everyone. So, check back often. It is good to be back!
