Reign of Fire was a good movie. Not great, but good. I was expecting more of an Independence Day type of movie, and it actually was more like Aliens. I'd like to have seen more scenes with multiple dragons, and more of the war between dragons and men. There was a few awesome sequences, notably the parachuting scene. All in all, worth the price of admission.

We leave in 2 days for the final wedding of this summer of many weddings! Marcie and Kevin are getting marriued in Michigan, and Deana is in the wedding party! We'll be gone just over a week or so. And then, it's almost time for school to start. Wow, the summer has gone quickly!

Let's see what other interesting things have happened lately...

How about Connor running off from the bathtub into the dining room (minus diaper of course) and leaving a little... shall we say... present for us on the floor. All I heard was Deana's scream and ran into the bathroom, where she had Connor on the toilet, and he was hanging on for dear life! Hehe. He thought it was hilarious and of course it was, once everything was all cleaned up!

Deana bought be Warcraft 3 for my birthday, as I had requested. :) The game is awesome. I enjoyed the beta a lot, but I gotta say, the single player missions are incredible. The plot is better than most movies, the cutscenes are high caliber, the in game movies are perfect... It's a masterpiece, really, and well worth the wait. I tremble in anticipation of Starcraft 2 and especially Worlds of Warcraft.

That's all for now, live long and prosper!

Here we are, all moved in and good to go.

It seemed like it took FOREVER to move. Moving from a 3 bedroom house with a garage and a nice yard to a 2 bedroom townhouse apartment was pretty tough. We had to get rid of so much more stuff even after the garage sale. But, for the most part, we are all unpacked and only a few things are left to be done. I like the new place very much and am already feeling comfortable here. My allergies have been really calm here, too. All in all, a nice move.

Again, we have been busy even for this ultra-busy summer. Last week was Brent and Dana's wedding, as well as Brandon's last week here in Missouri for a while. Deana's family came back for a visit too, which we enjoyed. They helped us with the move a bunch, we appreciate that for sure!

Going to go see Reign of Fire in a few hours, I will let you know how good it was. :) Bye!
