It's just stuff...

What was a fantastic family trip ended in minor tradegy when our laptop (and ALL of our photos!) went missing. We have little hope of it being returned, and I still cry about it off and on...

I need to take up Greg's mantra of "It's just stuff"... All of Tara's first year photos are backed up on CD. Most of her second year are online. Her list of firsts is gone, but thankfully I had updated her babybook beforehand and so I still have some things.

It sickens me to think of someone wiping the harddrive, but I hope that's what happened... Otherwise all of our personal photos are out there somewhere in someone else's hands. It's hard to think about without having a panic attack or crying...

It's just stuff. And God has already poured his grace on us. Photos that I thought were lost forever were found. There is a slight chance that the pictures on the camera card that I loaded onto the laptop halfway through our trip and then deleted can be salvaged (please pray! We'll know more tomorrow!!) We have possibly found sources for the money that we will need to spend to replace what was lost.

And God has given me a working copy of Corner Gas Season 5!! I had found my original, WORKING copy the night before the trip, and so brought it along, and it was in the laptop case that was taken. But the most recent version that Greg picked up for me on Monday seems to be working.

God is good, and it's just stuff...
