When Joey’s laptop was stolen, what, two months ago? we spent about a week trying to figure out the wisest, most cost-effective way to replace it.  Back in Dallas a couple years ago, he had bought me a MacBook Pro that I have basically been using as a desktop at home. I don’t just up and run around places like I used to, and I don’t sit in coffee shops and write anymore, either.

I told Joey he could have my computer because I don’t need a laptop anymore.  But…that would leave us without a home computer, and I didn’t really want to be all alone at home with no landline, no TV, no computer.  It didn’t seem safe.  WHAT IF MY CELL PHONE STOPPED WORKING.  Who would find me?!

So we decided to get an inexpensive desktop and shuffle the laptop down to Joey.  It’s surprisingly powerful, for being two years old.  (And I think he’s going to padlock this one to his desk.)

Joey began doing the research on the best time to buy the desktop unit, and after waiting because all the Mac Rumor websites told us to, yesterday was finally, FINALLY, FINALLY! the day.  The upgrades on the model we want had just come out, AND they had dropped in price.  WINNING!

We are so thankful to those who were generous to us.  We love our new church family, it has become a home for us quickly and we have never had a doubt that this is exactly where God wants us.

It’s wonderful to be in that place, isn’t it?

Hmm.  Before I go getting too schmaltzy, the MacMini is telling me she’s hungry so I’d better feed her.  Before she eats the box.
