IPhones At Last

After a few months of thinking about it, and in DH's case, dreaming about it, we got IPhones on Saturday evening. Our contract with Verizon expired on March 12, but we were out of town, so Saturday, after getting home, we headed to the mall. We ate first and then proceeded to get our IPhones. We had to go back and forth between the AT&T mall kiosk and the Apple Store (which is why we went to the mall, so we could go to both). The kids kept themselves occupied with the "toys" at the Apple Store while DH and I (mostly DH) got down to business. After we were done, we "celebrated" by having ice cream at Haagen-Dazs. We would have gone to Haagen-Dazs regardless, but it was a good excuse. *WINK*

We added texting to our plan, and DS#1 was very excited. We got him a new phone also, but the cheapest one we could get. He wanted the one with the keyboard that was the same price, but I convinced him that the smaller one would be more his style. He was a little bummed that he didn't get an IPhone too, but I think he was happy with his new toy. He even sent me a text message saying "Hi Mama!" just to make sure it worked. :)

DS#2 has been obsessed with our IPhones. He said he wanted to be there when we decided what applications we would download, i.e., he wanted to tell us what games we could get that he could play with. He was so excited that on Sunday, when I called my parents, he wanted to get on my IPhone just so he could tell Lola that he was talking to her on my new IPhone.

DH and I didn't stay up late playing with our IPhones like one of our good friends did, but we still think it's a very cool new toy. This is our belated Valentine's gift to each other. :)
