well it happened.

After almost EIGHT *holy cow we've lived here almost eight months.......* of living in a 220v environment the inevitable has happened. I blew something up. And that something was our printer! You see when you move to a foreign country such as this place the plugs are different. They're shaped different yes, but thats not the important part. They run off a different voltage. And when you move to this said foreign country from the states - it's a problem. Cause ya know, us Americans - we gotta be different! So we run our plug ins off 110v. Simply meaning - my stuff won't plug in. Some companies though have gotten "smart" and created dual voltage, so all you need is a little adapter. These companies are my friends. Dell, Apple, Lexmark, HP, Kodak - just to name a few.

So anyway. The point is I plugged this straight into a 220v plug,
and my friends - it's not dual voltage. And now it no longer works.

BUT! have no fear the BX came to our rescue as they ONLY sell dual voltage printers - you see, they too have gotten smart! And we now own this:
so my sweet husband can continue printing his oh so important documents for his class he's in!

It's true folks - I blew up our first "appliance".

in case.

Just in case you're wondering - we are still alive. We had a wonderful Christmas and a fun filled New Years. I am working on blogging those events, but graduate school applications must come first.

I hope everyone back home enjoyed their holidays!!!

Please keep us in your prayers. We are desperately looking for a church family!
