Computer Drama!!!

I'm so sad! I think I might have lost a lot of files on my computer, including videos of Kaleb when he was little. I still don't know if my computer got a virus or what, but it started locking up on me. Luckily I was able to get as many pictures & videos backed up as possible before the major problem happened. I should have just taken it in to a computer store at that time, but we're trying to save money to buy a house and I thought maybe I can fix it on my own. BIG MISTAKE!! I somehow ended up completely restoring my computer to how it came when we first bought it!!!! I'm so bummed!! I thought it would still save my files but it didn't!! Why did I do that?? Now I'm going to have to take it to a store anyway and probably end up paying twice as much to fix the problem. That's the last time I'll ever make that mistake, you can gurantee it!! What was I thinking?

Please wish me luck that we can find the files again!! Jarom thinks it's hopeless, but I'm not giving up yet.
