The New HP

Once there was an HP Pavilion Entertainment PC sitting in a warehouse somewhere in Shang Hai, China with an address for Tucson, Arizona. Before the journey of this laptop reached its end, it traveled from China to Alaska and from Alaska to Tennessee. From Tennessee it went to Tucson and landed at the door of Casa Madera apartment 11201--The Reinholds!!


You can imagine our excitement as we opened up the box and began setting up our new computer. Fortunately for us, Hewlett Packard sent us a nice set of directions to get us going in the right direction.


The first thing Eric did after we registered it, was to make sure we could have it run as fast as possible! It does go pretty fast although we have a slow wireless Internet connection that hinders it a bit. We can't complain about free wireless though. Now we are slowly adding things and figuring out how to customize it and make it our own. My own version of customizing it was to put a picture of our wedding ceremony as the background. Eric wanted a picture of Minas Tirith from Lord of the Rings but I got to pick in the end.

Fall is back again in Tucson after a long hot spell. Today I turned on the heat because I was so cold in our apartment and it feels colder outside although all of you New Englanders would say it feels nice and warm. It got down to 60 in our apartment last night and wasn't getting past 65 with no heat on so that's when I decided to make it warm again in here. Tomorrow is pay day which means go shopping for pants and sweaters. Tomorrow night we start our next 5 day respite and that begins a period of hard work before we fly home on the 13th of December! We are certainly looking forward to that.
