We have been waiting for our $40 redemption card from the government to purchase a digital converter box for ~3 months now, and while at college today I looked into it and got incredibly frustrated. We haven't got our card yet, and another would take possibly months to arrive, and at that point we might be at the date where analog transmission ceases, so we'd have to go buy a digital reciever box with our own money anyway. And the box would only be a band-aid, as our TV would still be out of date... I got so frustrated, that I did something I normally do not do; I wanted to make a big purchase and just buy a new TV. Normally, I'm ok saving for something until you can buy it in cash, but at this point I just didn't care anymore.
So, we went down to RC Willey to visit Dawni's brother who works in electronic sales down there, and he hooked us up with a bright and shiny 50" Hitachi Plasma Screen. (Thanks, Bud!) Sadly, our entertainment center we had owned since we were married could not hold this behemoth, so I am going around with a truck today to various stores to find something to hold both it and the mountain of unknown mass of DVDs, CDs, and books that we had stuffed in the old entertainment center. Anyone have any suggestions? I'm going to visit various DIs and Furniture in a Box. We don't want to spend the gas to drive down to IKEA, but that's an idea as well. We'd like to keep it under $100 if possible and have places to squish our DVDs back into.
Hello, pictures!

Sweet TV guys! Looks like i'll be coming over to watch it in all its glory! ha ha jk
hey nothing like an impulse buy..now Dawni gets to go spend an equal amount of money on herself now right?! The poor girl doesn't even have photo folders for pete's sake (ha,ha)
We saw some entertainment centers for t.vs like that at Walmart last night...we didn't look at the price.
hope you enjoy your new purchase!
Now really Zach, was Nightmare before Christmas the best thing you had to show on such an amazing tv? JK!! We are jelous! It looks great and I am sure you love it. We are still waiting for our rebates to come in the mail, but our picture is better - so the new tv will have to wait. I'm glad you love it.
