Crashed Hard Drive

-
I almost had a heart attack last week. Jon came in the kitchen and said the computer was making funny noises, so he turned it off. When I went to turn it on, there was nothing there and it was still making funny noises. I immediately took it to Computer Heaven, where we bought it. They are great there. Anyway, they said our hard drive crashed and there was nothing left. My heart started beating fast and I started to breathe heavily. I prayed really hard that all the pictures I take were safe on the external hard drive we bought and just recently hooked up. I took the hard drive to Computer Heaven too, and the verified that yes, all the pictures and documents are safe. PHEW!! I was so scared, and thankful that I finally listened to Jon and hooked up that external hard drive. It automatically backs up every Sunday night, so thankfully, I didn't loose any pictures. or anything else, but all I really care about are the pictures of my babies. Jon would have had a hard time with me if they would have been lost! I love taking pictures and would have been seriously distrought. It is going to take 3 to 4 weeks for repairs, so we are computerless at home right now. Well, Jon has a work laptop, but I can't download pics there, so I am limited with my pics for now. I have a few from my iPhone.

We had our first swim Friday!! The girls did great!


Marielle LOVES to get in the bed with Aliza when she wakes up from her nap. They are funny in there together.

Teething Biscuits!! Messiest thing for babies...

We had to go straight to the bathtub after this!

And then she played with the tag on this toy for 10 minutes. She was concentrating so hard. It was so cute!


I hope to get our computer back soon and post more pics!!

    Wow thank God for sure you would have had a heart attack.Because losing files after a hard drive crashes is so frustrating.I once lost my files and i felt as if the whole world was swallowing me up.Well from there i opted for online backups as my alternative.And i use safecopybackup.com.I liked it after trying out the 3GB trial and with the prices,they are afforable so with there,i know my files are safe.

    Painful! sorry for the hard experience of ur PC. WOW! these are great pics, so adorable. Couldn't afford to lose them if I owned them neither. Same prob happened to me last year and tried all alternative ways to recover my stuff but all in vain.

    Tell you what! I switched to backing up sensitive data, photos and music online at www.safecopybackup.com. Every where I go I access my data. Also share files with my friends. Am glad. Good luck for u.

Finally, I did it, after 2 1/2 years!

Run. I ran on the treadmill finally today, for the first time since I got pregnant with Marielle. I have been working out on and off since I was 19. I was in college and I noticed that I was out of shape since playing high school volleyball (that first year of college may have also contributed to my out-of-shapeness) and decided to join a gym. I got a trainer and had a few workouts and I stuck with it pretty well through college. When I met Jon, he worked out as well, so it was easy for me to keep up with it. When we got married, we both worked out (usually) 4 days a week. We would get up at 5:00 and go to our separate gyms (I go to an all women’s gym) Monday through Thursday. I even continued to work out all through out my pregnancy with Marielle, but I couldn’t run from the very beginning. When I found out I was pregnant, I kept working out just as hard as usual and started spotting, so I quit running and eased up on my workouts. That was about October or November of 2007. Afte

A friend in need.

I have a friend. An old friend. A funny friend. A favorite friend. Her name is Jaime Marrs. She was one of my 5 friends at my actual wedding and has been such a fun part of my life. I met Jaime just before my sophomore year in high school, probably in the summertime when we started practicing volleyball. She was a freshman who made the team, but man, what I remember most about her was her attitude. It's not so much that she had a bad attitude, it was that she always had a scowl on her face. I didn't like her. She didn’t talk much and didn’t smile. And she was dating one of the hottest seniors. How dare her? Anyway, one day she didn't have a ride home from volleyball practice. I was riding home with Jill, and Jill offered her a ride. On this ride we talked and laughed and I realized that this scowled-faced girl was pretty funny. I guess the rest is history because Jaime became one of my best friends throughout the rest of high school, through college, through kids, and sti
