News, News & More News...

We finally received our new Blackberry’s in the mail yesterday! Yahoo! I was so excited! As soon as we got settled in at home, I immediately opened the boxes to get the phones out. And to my surprise, I didn’t have to wait until today to take it for activation, I can do it online! Even better! I rushed to the computer to get the phones activated, the sooner I could play the better! Well, I entered all my info and then received a message telling me that since we’re upgrading our plan, I would need to call the 1-800 number, or do a live chat. I immediately picked up the phone to call. Here’s where my trouble starts… “If you are calling from the phone that you are upgrading from, or if you are calling from the phone you are upgrading to, please hang up and call back on a different phone.” Guess what? We don’t have a home phone, we only use our cell phones! Now what am I going to do? Oh wait, I can still do the live chat! Away I went! I get the chat person connected with me, give her all the same info I had already entered when I went online, and she says, “since you’re current plan doesn’t end until August 19th, you will have to wait until August 20th to upgrade your plan.” WHAT?!?! I can’t wait that long! Well, we could have picked the option where we are pro-rated for each plan and make the switch now, but we really didn’t want to do that. Now we have Blackberry’s, with the media plan, and I have to wait 3 more weeks to use it! I’m counting down the days!

Andrew called me last night to tell me he and James found an apartment! In a decent neighborhood! And at a reasonable rate! When I went with them a couple of weeks ago, we looked at an apartment in this same complex, and they are very nice, with lots of room. Although I didn’t see the exact one they will get, Andrew told me this one was even nicer than the one we looked at. I’m so excited for them since they’ve been looking for several months now. I hope everything goes through with the application. Also, Andrew goes for a job interview, tomorrow, in Indiana. It’s just across the river so it’s close to campus. Keep your fingers crossed for them!

Last night Mom called to tell us that Laura has lost her plug! Won’t be long now we will have a new addition to the family! And, wouldn’t you know it, it’s another girl! Right now we have 13 girls and 7 boys, as far as Mom and Dad’s grandkids. Andi Mae will be joining our family in the very near future! And, we have 2 more coming in the spring of 2010! These 2 will be mom’s first great grandchildren! That means I’ll be a great Aunt. :-( Which also means I’m getting old! Hmm, I never thought of it that way. Oh well, you’re only as old as you feel! I feel pretty young today!

TTFN!
