Good And Not So Good News

I'll start with the not so good news, because overall it isn't that big of a deal but it is so very utterly frustrating and annoying. Let us know if any of you have any ideas??

My computer has crapped out AGAIN! again.again.again.

For those of you who don't know, this is a brand new (less than a year old) Dell! We bought it for a few reasons.

1) It's large storage capacity

2) At the time, it was a very high end computer and

3) Jason and I have both owned Dells for years and have never really had a problem.

Well, Dell has really, really gone down in customer service and we are honestly thinking about forever changing to apple.

This is the second time in less than 2 months where our harddrive has crashed!! The main thing I use that computer for is storing pictures. And I'm sick to my stomach as a write this but I lost 2 months of photo's!!!!!! I should have learned the first time!!! I'm just so upset over losing so many photo's! I stupidly assumed that my computer would be as good as gold because it just had it's harddrive replaced! I've learned my lesson.

And we paid a LOT extra for their best warranty. All for what? To have to restart everything every few months?? The second technician who came out blamed Dell, saying he didn't work for them, that if he replaced the entire computer he'd lose his job...blah blah blah. Well, we have in writing where a Dell employee TOLD US that we wouldn't lose our "data" (pictures) from before this technician was sent out.

Now all of a sudden, the harddrive is gone meaning we lost everything again and while we don't have to pay for any of this....they are not saying that this will fix the problem. WHAT??

Am I crazy, or is there something wrong with this picture? I feel like we are on candid camera and the next technician who comes over is going to bust out the hidden cameras!

Does anyone out there have any advice?

On to the good news!

There has been a boat-load of progress at The House! I'd show you with pictures...but this computer is another Dell with it's own set of flaws. One of the biggest is that it won't allow us to upload photo's from it! So go figure. LOL Now we have not only foundation...but the FRAMING too! It's amazing what one little phone call will do.

I'll post more pictures of the house and our first family camping trip just as soon as I'm able.

Life is GREAT! We love and miss you all!
