David and I didn't have a working VCR, and we both have several VHS tapes. My parents gave us a VCR that they no longer have a use for, since they have a combination VCR/DVD player. I took it upon myself to install the VCR yesterday. The television in the living room was much too heavy for me to move, so I chose the television in our bedroom.
I also had another reason for wanting to hook up our VCR. We had gotten the camcorder from Josh, so we could watch our rehearsal dinner video. It needed to plug into the VCR to work. (It can be plugged into a computer, but my laptop wasn't compatible, and I didn't want to crawl on the floor to plug it into the other computers we have.)
A little while later, I watched our rehearsal dinner video on the television in our bedroom. I was so excited that I had figured out how to hook everything up correctly all on my own! Now I just need David to move the old (and non-working) VCR out from under the TV and put the new one in.
Next step: Programming the VCR! I'll do that this weekend. It'll be fun.
