So much is going on now. Less than 100 days until Violet arrives. We have received some gifts already. A stroller and a car seat. Yay! We have a doctor appointment next week. Not sure if we get to have another ultrasound. I hope we can. I’d like more pics to post. 🙂

We went to see the new Harry Potter film. I was warned ahead of time (Tara) that it wasn’t close to the books. I didn’t expect it to be from what I saw of the previews, but knowing that ahead of time made it a bit more enjoyable. I wasn’t surprised on how different it was. Parts of it were incredible. My only real complaint with it is that during the massive wizard fight, they really should have used something besides blue effects. I think a bit more color would have worked. It just looked like everyone was casting the same thing.

We have had a lot of good gaming lately. Pathfinder, Munchkin, and now Zombie Dice. I picked up ZD one day because it looked interesting. It was a bit of a trick to get the others to play it (they didn’t seem that interested in it). 8 games later, they didn’t want to stop. It is a nice quick game. I highly recommend it. The Pathfinder adventures have been a lot of fun too. It’d be nice to have the same group each time, but it’s hard to get everyone together all the time. We are almost done with the first chapter of it. I’m really hoping that we can continue this adventure path. I can’t wait to see them build a kingdom.

Work is going well. I think that I’m really getting the hang of it there. I’m more comfortable now when dealing with clients. I’m looking forward to learning more and dealing with new problems.

Busy…

It has been a busy month. Holly & Mad came down for some the end of vacation week and then they stayed a few extra days to get stuff done in the soon to be baby’s room. We have 95% of the furniture in there and it is painted. Just need to get the book shelf and the rocking chair. I’m so excited about meeting Violet.

The new job is going well. I started on June 13th at ITVantage in Fort Myers. It’s a bit different than what I am used to, but I really do enjoy it. Except for firewall issues. That’s a pain in the ass. 🙂

Lots of gaming going on lately. Mostly Pathfinder and Munchkin. I did get Munchkin Quest, but we have only played that once. A bit more complex, but a lot of fun. I would like to have someone else take over some of the DMing. Jim is getting burned out.
