5th new phone...hurray!

So, as my husband will agree, I am not good with cell phones. About a year and a half ago I had a nice pink phone. I loved it! Small enough to carry in my pocket. Loved the features. And, since it did fit so conveniently in my pocket, I forgot to take it out and it went through the wash. I was so sad, and a little worried to tell Dave. But, he was nice about it. We ordered me a new one just like it...but a little pricier now. Well, about 6 weeks later, IT HAPPENED AGAIN!!! This time I was super worried to tell Dave. He wasn't as understanding this time. (He still took it better than I probably would have if roles were reversed.) So, I think I ended up with an old phone of ours that was not very nice.

Then, a while later we got a good deal on a new phone for me. It was really nice...purple even! So, that was a great phone. I was very careful with it. I used it for several months. Until...one day I was wearing pajama pants when I took the kids to school. I put the phone in the pocket. Then, I did laundry that day. I always check my pants pockets, but did not think to check my PAJAMA PANTS pockets. Yep, a third phone through the wash. Okay, Dave...not very happy! So, I went without a phone for a couple weeks. Then, my sweet mom found a really old phone she had and I was able to use that. It got me by just fine. I was thankful for it!

So, Thursday morning I had Avery in the bath. I was in there doing my hair and I had my cell on the counter. My home phone rang and I talked for a few minutes. A lot of times while on the phone, I pace around. So, I was out of the bathroom. I did not see my "sweet" little 2 year old get out of the tub, grab my cell phone, and get back in the tub. When I came back to the bathroom, she was standing there yelling for me to look at her. I look over and in her hand is my cell phone...DRIPPING wet!! Oh, Avery!! So, I hurried and took out the battery and tried to dry it all out with my blow dryer. It never turned on again!!!

Can you imagine how much I DIDN'T want to call Dave??? But, this time it wasn't my fault! It was Avery's!! You would think I could leave a phone sitting around, NOPE! Not with my tornado girl. So, he laughed about it. He said, "What else can I do but laugh?"

We went to the Verizon store and they said they would let us buy one at the one-year contract price. Great! But, there wasn't a phone at that price for less than $175!

Luckily we knew a guy who was selling a phone. I was worried about what condition it would be in. But, at this point, I couldn't be too picky! So, Dave went and got it and paid him the $50. He got it home and I love it!! It is a really cool phone in really good condition! I was pretty excited. It is the ENV2 and looks like this:



So, I hope to have this phone for a long time. I am going to be careful to keep it away from the 2 most dangerous things a cell phone can come across in this house.
