Apples on apples

After my last post about Apple Cake I couldn't help but share this pic I came across.

Thank you Mr Jobs!!!!

Hi!

Well it's been a long time since I've posted on here and I'm sorry about that. If you have been speaking to me recently you will know that my iBook was in with Apple getting some much needed repair done to the casing. I was told it would be 7-10 days which seemed long enough already considering I do a lot of work on my laptop. After it was away for 11 days and I had heard nothing I called the lovely new Apple store in Victoria Square to find out what was going on and it apparently needed a few more days work.

After a few more days and a few more calls I was able to collect my wee iBook - except when I called to collect it there was another problem with the casing so it had to be left for a bit longer with them. A few days later I got a call saying it was almost ready and just had a few more things to sort. The day after I got a call with very different news - the guys who were working on it discovered some more problems with the casing and to save me waiting forever and to make up for the hassle of it'll be ready soon/it won't be ready soon the decided to give me a brand new MacBook!!! I was in shock - firstly cos the guy on the phone seemed to think this was bad news to me, but because I never ever expected that to be the outcome!

Th next day I went to the store and picked up my new MacBook that had all my files tranferred over for me and everything! The past few days have been fun on my new machine playing with new features and getting all my music and photos etc sorted.

Today has been spent learning how to use my new iPhone. It has been quite a fun day playing with my phone, updating contacts, adding my diary to it etc, unfortunately there's also work to be done.

I have the best hubby!

My hubby doesn't surprise me often, no flowers or chocolates etc, but when he does, he does it in style!

Tonight as I was waiting for Rob to call home to say he had left work so I could start cooking dinner, I was starting to worry because he's supposed to finish work at 9, doesn't usually get to leave until about 9.15ish but tonight the clock was nearing 9.45 and I hadn't heard anything yet - I was starting to worry. I txted asking if he was leaving soon, he replied saying he was leaving. Then he called a few minutes later and said he was on his way and to make up for being late that he'd get me something pretty.

So I got on with making the dinner (which i'll blog about here tomorrow) and when he got home he told me to close his eyes because he got me something already. I closed my eyes and got excited, when he told me to open them again there I saw a fantastic little box that contained a brand new iPhone! All for me! Isn't he the greatest?!?!?!? He bought one for himself as well so we'll be all like a weird couple with matchin phones, but who cares! We have funky cool iPhones!

He's now having fun getting the 2 of them set up and ready for use.... he's like a kid in a candy shop and I love him to bits!

Oops.... I didn't get time to blog over the weekend. Was a crazy time.

Friday was spent in lots of preparation for work on Sunday, as well as some general admin and making out lots of information sheets.

Saturday Rob and I travelled down to Kilkenny and back to visit family, in particular his brother who is real sick at the minute. I'll not go into online, but if you're the praying type please pray for Jason.
Stewie was left up to Belfast for the day and sounded like he had fun with my sister. Initially when we were picking him up he seemed to forget who Rob and I were. Silly dog.
After all that I was doing nightreach in the town. I had a great time, met so many young people and plenty of them with opinions about a rape that was reported to have happened there on saturday week. After all that I was in bed for about 3.30am

Sunday was filled with lots of work. Youth Breakfast, Bible Class, Church, Xtreme Team (Sunday school for P4-7), quick meeting with boss and grabbing random people about all sorts of things.
Afternoon was spent having a little nap, walk with the dog and some very quick chinese before heading out for the youth rally in Clonduff. The worship leader, Jon Batholomew, was really good, he played a lot of his own songs and made the praise a very reflective time. Really enjoyed the speaker (whose name has escaped me), he kept the message of "You are loved" very simple, very clear but very relevant.

Monday, today, so far i've been relaxing after all that happened over the weekend. Rob has been having fun this morning though as today our new iMac arrived so he's been playing away with it and getting it all prepared for what we'll be using it for.
The rest of today for me should include walking the dog (hope the sun stays for that), getting the shopping in, cleaning the house a bit and starting to sort what's going on holiday with us. But for now I'll chill out a while longer.
