Cell Phone Replacement

Date: Last Wednesday
Time: 10:30 am
Location: MSU campus
What: Aaron's cell phone was stolen

I was hesitant to write about this before because it didn't have a happy ending, but now I have a somewhat happy ending to share:

Two weeks ago, we decided to take insurance off of our cell phones to cut costs. HA....great timing, I know. If you know about cell phones, you know that the wonderful prices that you buy them at are only good with a two-year agreement, making it vital to have insurance if you ever need to replace it.

So, after we found out that it was stolen, we knew that to buy a replacement phone would be an insane amount that we don't have. We also knew that we had a former phone that we could use but it was in a random box in our storage unit.

Finally today we knew we needed to either buy a replacement or search really hard for our former phone. We went to our storage unit and after a little digging, we found the box that we thought we had packed it in. As Aaron picked it up, the bottom of the box split open sending all the contents falling between furniture and boxes.

We came back to our place, discouraged yet again that our former phone was probably lying on the ground of our storage unit. We finally accepted we would need to buy another.

Now for the happy ending:
As I walked down the stairs minutes later, a lonely backpack caught my eye. It couldn't be in there, I thought. Why would we put the Razr phone in there? I decided to check anyways and lo and behold, our former Razr phone! We cried and thanked the Lord so many times :)

The end :)

Too bad about the phone! Glad you found your Razr. Dan has lost his phone a couple of times. Sometimes he threatens to cancel his contract with a company, and then they give him some great deal because they don't want to lose a customer, especially to a competitor. Laurann and Mom were in Mankato today shopping and stuff, and I reminded Mom that you were there. They could have brought you a Caribou! Oh well. Hope you are loving it there! Praying for you and your life situation! Bets

That's a good idea! We'll remember that if it happens again! Or, we'll call Dan and he can threaten for us...haha :) Even though we've had a few very chaotic weeks, things are settling down now and we LOVE Mankato :)
