Life Without a Cell Phone

So Chris started his new job on Monday (he is the General Council for a large company in Tempe). On Monday morning his old cell phone was turned off and his new blackberry is still on order. That means that he has gone 2 days without a cell phone. Now I know that I talk to my husband a little more than most wives (about 10 times a day) but it helps us stay in touch with each others day. Anyway, this has been a new experience. We only talked like 2 times on both days. I don't think Chris knows what to do without the cell phone and blackberry. He said he felt weird driving without a cell phone. I think it is now like a radio or seat belt. No driving allowed without it. We were laughing about this and remembering back to our college days and when we bought our first cell phone. Now they are an important part of our lives. If I forget mine-I always go back home to pick it up. Heaven forbid I should go a couple hours without contact. Anyway-last night we resurrected an old phone for Chris to take with him. He won't have a blackberry but at least he will be able to talk on the phone. All things are right in the world again.

That is so funny. It's pathetic that we can't live without our phones. But I will admit, I can't' live without mine. PS. You need to dinner swap. Then you don't have to cook dinner every night.

I understand!! I almost had a stroke going 2 days without my phone!! ('course, it's the only phone we have...no "land line") Jim was kind enough to lend me his phone until mine came. Apparently he doesn't care if anyone's trying to call him or e-mail him!! :-)

Missed you on Sunday. Brandi (a.k.a. Angie Miner)gave a great prayer in sacrament meeting:) We still need to get together. I hope Chris is enjoying his new job!
