Computer Problems

I never really knew how much I relied on the computer until the last 2 weeks of ours not working well. I'll be in the middle of something and it freezes on me and that is just the minor of its problems. Luckily our warrantly doesn't expire for a couple weeks so we're sending it in to get fixed. It will be a long 2 weeks without it but I promise to have a decent post when we're back up and running.

Other than computer problems and a non-stop schedule, we are doing great. The store is doing amazing, which is such a blessing in our current economy. January is typically a slower month for Plato's Closets but we were still up almost 20% from last January. Every year there is a Platos Closet convention and this May it will be in Orlando. We are looking forward to getting away and my sister Karen will be home from her mission in March, so she will be our nanny for the 6 days we are gone.

Next week the kids have a 4 day weekend so we are going to leave to my parents after school on Thursday and then go on to Spokane on Saturday, where we will get to see more family and friends. We are so excited to see our new twin niece and nephew who were born in October. They were born 2 months early (but are doing really well) so they still should be tiny. The kids will only have to miss one day of school and will be well worth it. We are praying that the weather will cooperate so we can make it (since we didn't get to for Christmas).

I hope you all are well and I can't wait to hop on everyones blogs when our computer is back and functioning right.

That's fantastic about the store doing so well! I love going in there and looking around. Orlando is great fun. We just hit Disneyworld and GatorLand because I was working the other days. They have the best seafood restaurants if you like seafood.

I hate computer problems . . . I think I rely on mine way too much. Anyway- glad things are going well for you! I am excited for you to go to Orlando- - you will have to take a day (or more if you have it) to go to Disney World!

Hi
Lori, I love The Busy Barney's. But as you know I think the Barney family is the best!! I think all the pictures are great, the only thing is, what is this BSU thing. I thought I taught the kids yellow and green of the OREGON DUCKS was the right choice. I don't know how hard tickets are but I'd love to go to the BSU/Oregon football game this fall in Boise, any chance if I come over we can all go to the game and I can spend the weekend? I'm glad all is well with you, take care.

Little Lori, thanks for remembering my birthday; your message made me smile and everyone needs to feel loved their birthday! Thanks for making me feel loved on mine!

So it's been two weeks since this post... HOW WAS SPOKANE? I'm glad to hear that all is well with you guys! I'm SUPER jealous about Orlando; are you sneaking off to Disneyworld? That sounds SO fun to go on a real trip KID FREE.

Can't wait to catch up with you guys!

Love you!!!
