Not much new - except that big TV!

Not much new in our house these days. Oh wait, there's a HUGE TV in our living room now! A little back ground....

One thing I love about Mark is his little quirks. They are so unique to just him. Even thinking on them now, it makes me smile. One thing he does is get up every Sunday morning (before me) and reads all the Sunday ads online. He diligently surfs through Target (our favorite), Best Buy, Circuit City, all the fun ones, and jots down little notes. Sometimes when I'm doing laundry, I find his little notes to himself.

Anyway, technology is Mark's "thing". In our family, the kitchen, cooking, and the like are my "thing" and anything technology is Mark's. Since we are all going digital, Mark has been spending quite some time looking for TVs; and specifically, the perfect one for us. Every once in a while, he'll get excited, and we'll go look at one, but for whatever reason we don't get it. Well, upon scouring Best Buy's ad last Sunday, Mark found one that made him excited. And so we went to Best Buy, and sure enough we got it. You'll have to ask him about all the detailed specs. I know that it's Samsung, 40-something inches, and we had to get a new cherry wood stand to put it on. I also know how to turn it on, and change the channels (but that's a whole other blog!).

Saturday comes around, and Mark, Jim (his oldest brother), and Uri (Mark's best man), all came over to put it all together. Why I didn't think to get the camera out to snap some shots, I'll never know, but forever regret. Three heads over one instruction manual, Uri saying, "MM goes into CC!", to which Jim replies - "Are you sure MM and not WW?", and then the three of them putting that piece together. Or Uri saying, "I think this means CC and DD go together, but what do you think, Jim?". What amazing guys they were together! It was such fun to watch! All I had to do was feed them.

So now we have a big TV, and beautiful stand made of glass and cherry in our living room.

Time for a new couch! It's an investment, right??!!
