My husband, Dave, was excited to move back to Iowa. Its not as hot as Florida he said. The bank said 100 earlier for the temperature.... and in FL it is 86 according to weatherbug, which says it is 90 here.
So guess what - Iowa isn't cooler than Florida today. I feel much better saying that after walking to the library and back twice for the kids... :) They are still at the library hanging out while I cool off.

Otterbox is going strong :)
Well, I am still using the Galaxy S4. The Otterbox case is doing great. Only the screen protector leaves room for improvement (Hurry up new protector and get here). I have dropped the phone a few times and had no issues. I am still getting used to the buttons on the phone, versus my Q10 - but that isn't because of the case.
Below are some pictures of the case if anyone is curious.
T-Mobile service is gone on our 2 main lines. I will miss them, we have had the service and numbers almost 10 years, but they have no coverage here.
Ordered a Fridge and Dishwasher today, which will probably go in the shed with the clothes washer and dryer until we can get moved in. Sooner rather than later hopefully. But we can't have no where to do laundry and keep drinks cold :)
Everyone, Kaylee (8), Billie (5), Dave, and myself have all been playing the Muppet Show game on the fires. Not sure why we all find it so amusing, but we do. Billie was so excited when Dave got Miss Piggy on his stage.
The other thing the kids like is the library. They have been going regularly.

Hello again
Hello again....
It's been awhile... a lot has changed. We moved, not my choice. Had to get a new phone provider... and while I have my Q10 which works fine on WiFi I am using an andriod now for my phone, a Galaxy S3 - like the one below.
When I bought it I picked up an Otterbox Commuter case. You can see the case below. I have to admit there are much better colors for cases than the normal black I could get for BlackBerrys. I like the case, not a fan of the screen protector that came with it. So I ordered myself an ArmorSuit for it, which I adored on my Q10 and the hubby likes on his Fire 8.9.
Its taking some adjustment. I don't like the way it handles emails vs my Blackberry, but I didn't really have much of an option. The provider here doesn't support the newer Blackberrys, only the older ones I have already and we had to go with a contact to get the coverage we needed, so I needed to pick out a phone. We couldn't get the Q10 working on the data side, but I haven't tried. It is a GSM provider so I can pop my sim in my Q10 at any time. :) Of course it works over WiFi too.
The kids are enjoying the new school so far. Its a lot smaller than what they are used to.
We have a fire, fire hd (7) and two fire hd 8.9's in the family now too. Although the last few days I have been playing with the S3 more than the fires. Trying to get a feel for it.

Case Mate Tough Case for BlackBerry 9900
Here it is. The case showed up via USPS yesterday. I have to say it was a bit of a fight to get it on properly. The case fits tight and has openings for the buttons, and you have to get them in properly in order to be able to use the phone.
I don't recall it being an issue with the Otterbox or Seidio cases I used on my 9700 - although they did have a lot of steps to get in and out.
A downside if you are looking for protection in your case, the Case Mate does not over the keys or the screen.
An upside, its not all black, which is a huge plus for me. Not that I am normally a pink fan, but the pink and black look nice.
The case has nice grippy texture to it. I was running into problems with the 9900 being rather smooth, it would slide off the top of my closed laptop at work. Now its not sliding if sat on a smooth surface that is not perfectly flat.
One other downside I ran into, the hole for the headphones is too small for the cord I have in my car to hook up to my stereo, but I had no problems plugging in my hands free or my charger.
Now I will admit at first I found myself wondering what the return policy was. However after a few hours I decided I would keep it.
And if you are wondering, the case does actually come in all black too, in case you like it, but pink is not your thing. You can check them out on amazon:
Case-Mate BlackBerry Bold 9900 / 9930 Tough Cases, Black / Pink
Case-Mate CM014689 Tough Case for Blackberry Bold Touch 9900/9930 - 1 Pack - Retail Packaging - Black
