Life Goes On . . .

Well, we have had quite an interesting week! It has been so much fun having Jackson around. However I could use a little more down time between feeding and the numerous diaper changes! But to make life a little more interesting we got to experience the joys of having a hard drive crash. Yes, you read correctly!

My hard drive crashed this week. One of my first reactions was . . . what pictures did I lose. Then the reality of what will not be recovered and all in all those documents (and scrapbook pages I never printed off ) will not be seen again more than likely, but I believe we were able to keep all pictures. The other biggest pain that I will suffer from this crash is my Christmas card list. I know it may sound petty, but for the last three years I have had computer problems with this list requiring me to recreate this list again and again. I have sent out most of this year's list and thankfully I have a hard copy . . . but really is this a necessary thing to get to do year after year?

As silly as this may sound, I have had a moment to reflect that there are some things that happen that stink in our lives. Nothing truly life shattering, but just plain stinky. I am not sure how losing a hard drive brings glory and honor to God, but may that be the result of this small and irritating issue that I got to deal with this week. The sweet (yes they are still sweet) cries of my son reminds me of how truly blessed I am. I guess I can look at this way, I am free of those documents that you don't know what to do with that just sit around and take up precious hard drive space, right? I guess my computer got to go through an early "spring cleaning".
