Freewrite - A Surprise that came to me...



Last night I had a surprise that came to me. My in-laws, as a special surprise decided to upgrade my iPhone7+ to the new IPhoneX. I had been wanting this phone since release but could not justify spending the amount required as a down payment towards it. So I had a mind set that if it was meant to be it would be. I had basically written off the option of ever getting the phone since having 3 children and it being the holidays, the money was much more valuable to me to go towards what my children wanted and needed. I could not allow myself to spend $300 on something that honestly was just more for its vanity. My iPhone7+ was still in working order and had no issues. I do realize with the plan we have, we are allowed to upgrade our phones every 6 months but my OCD was eating at me. I have the rose gold series 1 Apple Watch and it matched my rose gold iPhone7+. This year apparently Apple decided not to release a rose gold series so if I were to upgrade my iPhone it would not match my watch. Yes I know, I’m a woman with OCD and those little things bother me. Most would just blow that off and say its just a watch or just a phone. But I truely did love my rose gold options. So the only option I could deal with was to get the iPhoneX since there was no color option. So I was quite happy sticking with my iPhone7+ and moving on with it. But as a surprise my in-laws were so kind to me and purchased the iPhoneX for me without my knowledge.

Welcome to Steemit and a Great post and Free Write to start with

Those in-Laws sound likes such amazing people I think I would like them if I ever meet them

You're iPhone crazy. I still have my 4th Generation iPod for my music. However, I do have some OCD in relation to that. Album covers. Every song should have the right album cover. Always.

I am a huge Apple fan girl. I’m OCD with everything and I do love albums. I even remember 8 track tapes and having to put them in alphabetical order inside my father’s case.. lol =)

Welcome to steemit @starfall.
It is so great to have someone help you out when you first start out especially someone like @tattoodjay, he is awesome.

Thank you. @tattoodjay has been a tremendous help! I would be lost without his guidance. =)

It’s hard to justify that price for me as well! I sprang for my “7” because I keep it well beyond what I should!😜 it’s nice though when somebody else invests in you!!! Enjoy your phone and welcome to steemit!!

Thank you! It’s an amazing phone and I’m totally over the moon with it! =)

This is so nice, you are so lucky.

I have been blessed with an amazing family! =)
