Life Is Good
So I still haven't posted any pictures, partially due to the fact that we ran out of storage capacity for our photos and videos. (I love digital stills and video, but WOW do they use up memory!) This current incarnation of our computer is about 5 years old, and contains elements from other incarnations (including a video card that is so old that we can't even view the videos from our digital camcorder on it), and we thought maybe instead of ordering more external hard drives we'd bite the bullet and just build an entirely new computer. (The first time Justin built one was back when Ashley was in the womb; he's upgraded and re-built several times since then. I'm pretty sure this current one contains no elements of the original, but I could be wrong.) It wasn't just as simple as buying a new video card, because our current computer would not be able to handle a new video card, so by the time we upgraded everything sufficiently, we might as well have bought a new computer anyway. So that was the plan.
Well, after replacing our water main (a story for another post), and then doing the 60,000 mile maintenance on the Suburban and finding a surprise repair (OUCH), we moved to Plan B. We ordered two external hard drives. Now, if Justin ever finds the time to get them put on our network, we'll be able to download our new videos and photos. I'll try to post what we've got in the meantime. It just seems like we walk through cold tar around here sometimes, but I wouldn't trade the reasons for anything in the world. Life is busy, but LIFE IS GOOD. And if anyone's still out there, I love you and I'm glad you're my friends and family!
