Finally....

Well I have finally stepped into this century and created a blog. I can not guarantee that this first post will make any sense. It's late and I am tired. Unfortunately, everyone in our house is sick with what Mark calls the Georgia Rot. I, myself have been suffering from it for about 2 weeks, Mark for almost 3 weeks, and the kids just keep passing it to each other. My poor little Joseph has an ear infection in both ears and has been running a temp tonight of over 104 and McKenna has coughed for 2 nights straight. So what I am trying to say is that there is not much sleep happening in the Lowther household as of late. It's so rare, I had to take a picture of it. But I don't write to complain, but to merely state facts. We have been truly blessed and this is really the first major round of sickness we have had in quite some time. That's actually quite miraculous when you stop to think about it-- between pre-school, elementary, primary and nursery. I know this time of year has found many of you sick as well. Let's pray we all feel better soon!

Now that I have been a downer with all that depressing junk, we can move onto another topic. "Why Mario on your page" you say? Well this family is on the hunt for a Nintendo Wii. Impossible, you say? You're probably right. I found myself with supreme luck when standing in Best Buy 5 days before Christmas and some came in stock. So....I bought one! One was the limit so that was it. One! As I brought it home, I realized keeping it probably wouldn't be the smartest thing as I had already WAY over spent my Christmas budget on Mark's laptop. So I sold it to a friend who was dying to find one. Now that tax returns are around the corner, I am on a Wii hunt again. Tuesday, I missed some in Best Buy by about 8 hours, and tonight I missed some in Gamestop by 2 hours. Hey, at least I'm getting closer! So now I am channeling all things Nintendo to see if that helps! Wish me luck!
