Happy face!!!

SOOO!!!! Our house is like COMPLETELY empty!!! Well not completely, but all of the big stuff/stuff we are taking is gone. We just have to clean out the fridge, pantry, and under the sink because the washer and dryer and the storage area are being picked up tomorrow. The guys who packed us were really nice, very cool, asked about stuff and were very open to color coding my items for me. I'm fairly certain that I will end up with no trash at our next duty station. =) lol. So thank you, Desert Sun moving company, I am very satisfied.

Well, an update on the laptop situation. We were trying to hook the laptops up to each other to see if we could somehow manage to get our files from the old one to the new one. We had just bought an external hard drive but didn't think to back up the laptop because we were taking it with us... well, lesson learned there. Well anyways, nothing was working, so we decided today that we would go to Geek Squad and see if they could do it. The kid we talked to there was really cool and he said that due to privacy issues they couldn't back up the entire computer, we had to tell them specifically what we wanted and it would be $100. So then he suggested we hook the laptop up to a regular monitor and do it that way. We had already considered that idea but figured we would have to screw with a video card, which would be difficult considering we can't see anything on the screen, but he told us all we had to do was plug it in and hit "function F8" twice and it would switch the video from the laptop to the other monitor!!! I was so excited that he saved us a hundred dollars I just wanted to hug him! So, go Best Buy in Surprise for making my day.

I am exhausted but also a little wired if that makes any sense at all. It has been a long day but also a very productive one. Sky just got done blowing up our air mattress so I guess pretty soon here we're going to turn in for the night. More picking up and cleaning tomorrow! Hopefully it goes as smoothly as today and yesterday. Oyasumi Nasai!
