the horrors of data loss

Not much new stuff going on in wedding land. Sorry i haven't posted here in... months. (i said it was gonna happen.. didn't i say it?!)

Haven't been doing too much preparation wise, just a few things here and there. We're not stressed out though. We feel like we've got it handled.. well.. with one exception.

The other day Celeste and I were sitting down to do some wedding planning, and I went to pull up the shared folder on my desktop computer where I keep all of our wedding stuff (including the database of everyone we've invited so far). To my surprise, it was gone. All of it. Pretty much every scrap of data we had collected to date... just plain missing. I tried a couple data recovery tools, searched high and low for backups I may have possibly had.. nothing. If it dissapeared, it did it a while ago. : (

So I'm really sad. I've started reconstructing the data we had on people's addresses and info into a new database. This verison is better than the last, but there's nothing I can do to shake this feeling that we're going to end up forgetting someone because I lost the stupid address list.
