There have been some changes in our house this month. First of all, we no longer have cable in our home. Our "new customer" package rate came to an end, and something had to go. We decided we could do without cable. Now with only internet and phone we are still paying the same amount as when we had all 3 in our package deal. I don't miss it as much as I thought I would. I think that's because I still have access to the world through the internet. The kids don't ask for it as much as I thought they would. We might get a digital converter, but for the time being I don't miss TV at all. It's also been great to pull out some of the movies on our shelves that have been collecting dust. I'm also grateful that there are no longer nights when Dallin and I flip through 100+ channels with nothing on worth watching!

Our family computer also bit the dust. My sister has offered us an old laptop of hers, and while it will need some work done on it, it will hopefully still cost less than a brand new laptop.

We also bought a wireless router -- yeah! Now I won't be stuck downstairs working on the computer. I can be upstairs watching the kids while they're outside and still get work done. We also splurged on a new printer.

And it is AWESOME! Not only is it a great photo printer, but it is also wireless. I love this thing! And I don't even mind that it is my anniversary, birthday, and Christmas present for the next 2 years! LOL
