Phone Disaster!

I was walking this morning with my dear friend Lorena as we usually try to do once a week. This morning was particularly beautiful and we both made the comment of how gorgeous it was today. I exclaimed, "I've got to take a picture of this for my blog." So I bent down to grab my phone out of the stroller basket only to find it swimming in a pool of water about 2 inches deep! My water mug had spilled out all over the place. I couldn't believe it! The whole time I'm thinking about how upset Josh was going to be, how much money it was going to cost, and how stupid I was to put my mug and my phone in the same place! Honestly, it was an accident but I probably should have known better! I immediately started trying to "dry it out" but it just wouldn't work. The screen would stay on but none of the buttons did anything! Lorena was so sweet and helped me get to the nearest Verizon store. She lent me her phone so I could call Josh and she stayed with Landon while I went into Verizon. When I walked into Verizon, I prayed for someone to have mercy on me! Fortunately, we bought insurance for our phones (which I had forgotten about) and it was going to cost me 89.00 to get a replacement phone. I thought that was much better than the 400.00 retail price I thought I would have to pay! Yikes! The insurance carrier said they'd overnight my phone to me and it would be here sometime tomorrow morning! Hooray!

Then I get home and Josh pulls in about 5 minutes behind me. It turns out he wasn't as mad as I thought (he's pretty good like that) but he was disappointed that the insurance deductable was so much. We thought it was only going to be 50 bucks! Then Josh took a look at my phone and decided to put it out in the sun for a little while....and wouldn't you know it, it's working now! Ugh! Now I'm not sure what to do about the insurance claim I already made this morning. If I can contact the company in time, maybe I can get them to send the phone back...and refund my money. But maybe not. Oh what a disaster...! At least I have a phone that works...one way or the other.
