John brought it home Wednesday evening and I spent a good part of yesterday playing with it. They have an unlimited data plan (the phone is actually through his work), so that means I can now text, AIM, email, surf the web as much as I would like (and as long as my battery will last ;) ).Today, the boys and I are having a "free day" (Drew's term) at home since there is no school. This means we just bum around the house in our PJs for the day. Although I do need to do some cleaning since I found out the other day we will be having family stay with us this weekend. Drew is very excited to not have to change out of his PJs for the whole day. I asked him yesterday on the way home from school what he would like to do with his day off...if there was anywhere he wanted to go. He said he didn't want to go ANYWHERE, and just wanted to stay in his PJs ALL day. lol
(Please excuse the slightly out of focus pictures...my poor little broken Cybershot is having problems focusing now. I really need to sit down and look through compact cameras and decide what to replace it with.)Land Update: We found some land we like, but have been trying to double check some things with it before putting in an offer. A part in the covenents stated you had to have your house built by the man who developed the area. John called and left him a message and he never called back (not the kind of person I want building my house if they can't even return a simple phone call!). After talking with the current owner of the property we are considering, we found out the man isn't even building homes any more, but we just want to cover all our bases! John also has a friend of his who is a lawyer looking over things for us. This afternoon, John will be meeting with someone from a bank regarding financing. So...in the next couple of weeks, we MIGHT just be able to say we have purchased property! Then it will be on to working on house plans. And then maybe in the next year or two we will actually be able to start building.
Hope you have a wonderful weekend! I am off to try and get some cleaning done - ugh. :)

What a fun phone! And I love those PJ days...
Cool phone Jen!
Would his work like me to look after one in England for you all? hehe
Good luck on the land thing ;) Let us know how it goes.
hugs
us lot!
Very cool phone. I love being able to text, check email, surf the web and oh yeah, make calls (LOL!) on my iPhone.
You should definitely also speak with other home owners in the area and ask them about their experiences with the builder. The contractor that built our house is a COMPLETE flake. It took three months for him to come fix the flipping doorbell. Ugh. I called him with an urgent problem (they had sided over the vent for the central vac system) and I never heard back from him. Finally Kelly just did it himself. Ugh!
Pretty soon you'll be calling it your crackberry! Those things are so addictive...so I hear. ;) Good luck with the property! There seems to be lots of good spots in the area to build.
