New Addition to the Creekmore Family

After a very long awaited purchase, we have now moved into the current age. When Kevin and I married (9 yrs ago), we agreed to wait to purchase a new TV until the (at the time brand new) HDTV's came down in price and became more standard OR until the TV we had completely died. Well, we were almost there. The TV we had is more than 20 years old and had to be played through the VCR or cable box because the lower 13 channels didn't work and then about 6 months ago, it started having problems coming on. It would sometimes take me turning it on and off 20 or more times to get it to come on. We knew it was time to get a new one and Kevin has been looking at this particular TV since November, but has been waiting on the perfect price. Kevin is NOT an impulse buyer! I would have bought this TV 4 months ago, but he was patient and waited. We actually went about a month ago to Circuit City to buy it with their competitors deal, but Circuit City wouldn't stand with their policy and would only lower it to within a $100 of Best Buys price. So Friday Kevin came home and said Sears had it for what Best Buy had been offering it for last month plus they had a 10% coupon and 10% if you used your Sears card. We weren't sure if either of those would work, but the salesman said we could use one or the other - so we got a great deal. He said he had never sold that TV so cheap and couldn't even believe the deal we got. By the way, it was $600 more in the store than on their website, but he honored the website price. Always check both, we've found that many stores have different prices between their store and the web. Anyway, here's a look at the new baby.

And here is my favorite part. With the Picture in Picture, Samuel can play the Wii while I watch TV and it's not any smaller than what we were used to before. LOL
