spring

I have been accused of NOT keeping our blog current. Can you imagine such a thing. Well, it is probably due to the fact that our home computer is out of commission for a while. You see, we got a virus..then another and then another. Well, we had to completely wipe the machine clean and start again. Easy, right? Apparently not to be! We reinstalled everything and were up and working until this annoying little message came up saying that we could no longer log on due to the fact that our key code for windows vista was no longer valid...HUH??? WHAT??? I mean, we purchased the machine with vista installed and the key code is right there on the side of the machine..so why is it not valid? Another one of the mysteries of the fleecing of america microsoft style! So when I went online to acer's customer support, they said...."your warrenty is expired, please call us" So when you call it says "for a fee of $60.00 for the first hour, we can help you" Again......HUH? WHAT?????? Notice the sarcasm at this point? So, we are back to square one...we can't even talk to a live person...how insane is that?
Well, I think we will just dump vista and reinstall xp or something....completely ridiculous. So in the mean time, no computer, no internet, no microsoft office......nothing. It is like having a decorative black box on a table. So nice and useless.
Anyway...
Onto nicer topics. It is SPRING and I have SPRING fever BIG TIME!!!!! I am ready for the school year to come to a close. I am ready to play and read and relax. I am ready for NO MORE SNOW!!!! (yet, I think we still have a bit more....is it just me, or does winter seem to be hanging on longer these days)
Kris and I are going on a little vacation next week though and then I have women's conf at BYU the last week of April to look forward to. I need a spiritual boost!
The kids are doing good. Learning life lessons, learning about being peacable teenagers...lol! Making decisions, being good!
The dogs are good. We have not seen another racoon yet. Hopefully we won't, however, I refuse to let Zoe out in the middle of the night now. And, as a result, she seems to be sleeping more in the night and I am getting more sleep too...maybe that was a blessing in disguise!
Let us know how you are! and enjoy this SPRING time! It is glorious to marvel in the waking world!
