Unplugged . . .

Wes & I pulled the plug on Dish Network yesterday.  We are officially members of Netflix and Netflix only.  I weighed the options over quite a bit before deciding to pull the plug.  I signed a two year contract with them when I started service and there is still 11 months left in that contract.  Because of that, there is an early termination charge of $192.50.  If, though, I remain in my contract with Dish Network, I would end up paying almsot $700 in those 11 months for their service.  I certainly realize that I should have thought things over better and been more realistic and financially smart before signing a two year contract with Dish Network, but since I can't go back in time, I realized that cancelling my service with them was the best option.  With Netflix we receive one month free trial and then will pay $7.99/month for unlimited streaming.  I think that will help a lot financially.  Here's what killed me: I asked the "account specialist" what card the $192.50 would be charged to and she couldn't tell me.  I had already told two people at Dish Network on this phone call that I was cancelling service due to financial need and then they're not going to be able to tell me where the nearly $200 was going to be charged?!  That's kind of important. 

Anyway, Sunday night Wes & I became members of Netflix and I quickly added 20+ movies/shows to my Instant Queue.

In my last post I had mentioned that I would post soon about the pizza I was going to make.  Well, last week was hectic and there wasn't a single evening that we were home for supper, so I never got the chance to make the special pizza.

Saturday was our wedding reception:
