Well, we are in the middle of finals. Jason is currently taking one and will then have 2 left. I have my Tuba final in a couple of hours and then I will have 2 left. I can't wait to be done!
Our 6 month celebration on Friday was fun. Jason had been sick all week with the stomach flu, but he was feeling mostly better by Friday. We ended up going to Olive Garden instead of the Mayan, because Jason thought it'd be easier on his stomach. Olive Garden is probably my favorite restaurant, and that's where we go for special occasions, so it was great. Then we went up to Temple Square and looked at the beautiful Christmas lights. It was really cold, but unlike last year there was no snow.
So after a week of Jason being really sick and miserable, we had a really fun weekend since he was finally feeling better. Then Monday came and I got sick...luckily with a cold and not the stomach flu, but goodness, I'm sick of sickness!
Jason and I have been having issues with our laptop not charging well for the past few months. We had to always keep it plugged in for it to stay charged. Then, the plug started not working. We had to do all kinds of things to try and get it to charge. It's to the point where we can't really even get it to work, so we took it in to the BYU Bookstore at the computer repair place. When the guy first inspected it and heard our sad tale, he decided we would need to replace something internally between the plug and the battery. He said on most newer computers this is attached to the motherboard. His estimate was $600 including replacing the motherboard for $500 and the labor which would be around $100. We were NOT happy to hear that, and we were thinking we'd just as well buy a new laptop, but then he and this other guy that work there did some more thinking and after many different estimates and more investigating, we some how got down to thinking it was just the plug and possibly the battery that need to be replaced. The plug will cost about $30, and if we have to replace the battery it would be another $60-$100. That's still a lot of money, but we were really excited to hear that after their initial estimate of $600!

You guys could get like 20 working laptops for that price at the BYU surplus sale.. Seriously that would be a whole lot better than wasting that money on the one you have now.. It pays of to have a computer nerd for a husband.:)
You could also get the parts you need on ebay, that would also be a whole lot cheaper!
