It’s now been 2 months and I am way behind on my posts. I have been having problems with my laptop and it was shutting down after about 20 minutes of use and then would restart and shut back down ever 5 minutes or so so I would just give up. I was having super difficulty going though the hundreds of pictures I take and picking my favorites in 5 minute increments. Well I finally down loaded the last of my pictures from my camera to my laptop and stuck them on our home server and not more than 2 weeks later Matthew told me the server had crashed.
What?!!! The server where all my pictures since we before we got married are on? The server that you said would keep my pictures safe unless the house burnt down? There hasn’t been a fire. Matthew has spent the last 3 weeks or so doing all that he could to try to save the server and last night was his last attempt. I had hope until last night that everything was going to be okay. Now…I am frantically searching my memory for any place else my pictures could be. I have some ideas. I think we put some on some CDs…I’d have to go though a box labeled “Office Junk” that I sealed up 5 years ago and check every cd i can find…I’m hoping to obtains some from my parents and Matt’s parent’s computers…the ones I am mainly worried about are the ones of Isabelle’s first year. I don’t really have those in anything else except 2 scrapbooks that I made. Granted they are big scrapbooks, but that’s all I can see that I have left. Thankfully I’ve been making Huge Shutterfly books since 2007 and therefore all my pics favorite pictures are stored on their online site and I have books I’ve made. I am feeling not so happy right now. The good thing is that I think I really only am missing about 2 to 4 weeks worth of pictures from this year the end of July and beginning of August. So when I recover…ooh, I think I stored a back up CD with my parents when we bought the server for fear I’d lose my pictures. I just keep reaching for straws, but I guess I’ll have to see what pans out. If I find them, I guess I’ll be uploading them to Shutterfly and making myself a 2006 book as well as a pre-baby book with some old pic of Matthew and I. Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!
