Video Skill Training

Since it's kinda been slow on updates I figured I would share a little bit of what I've been working on as far as editing movies I had taken a while ago. These are two videos I had edited and uploaded today, one is Shamu Rocks from a few years ago and the other is the more recent Celebrate A Dream Come True from the Magic Kingdom, sorry for the quality it's an older camcorder but it's better than nothing until I can one day afford a new one.

Change It Up

Last night my parents came over and brought with them a new gift, the changing table, that goes along with our crib. This morning I went and got it put together and moved into position in Michael's room. Like the crib the table actually went together rather easily and didn't really encounter and problems in the building of it. Room is definitely looking like a baby's room now.

I know alot of people have been asking for photos of the room, it still is a disaster zone, with just getting all the furniture we have only just now been able to start putting away and organzing all his little belongings. This is what the room looks like currently. Its probably gonna come down to the wire but, I think we'll be set and ready for when he actually decides to show up.





Dresser Monday

Waiting, Waiting, Waiting on the GE Appliance tech once again. This be their fourth visit out here, three visits and a Better Business Bureau letter and maybe this time they might actually fix it. Of course you get a window of 8am-12pm and of course the routine phone call of running late and that whole morning you wait and now are like I could of done so much more instead of waiting for a guy running late. The one time I would of done something else and I would bet he would be knocking right after I left the house. While I sat around waiting I put together the dresser for Michael's room that we bought at Ikea last night. Dressers....my least favorite of all furniture to put together, very repetitious putting the drawers together and just seems like you do the same thing again and again. It's the Malm 4-drawer chest from IKEA with Birch coloring.Went together fairly easily as most of IKEA's products do, did have a couple issues decoding a couple of the installation photos but after studying the pieces was able to figure out what to do, of course when you have a cat (Roxy) for a foreman constantly walking through the construction site examining everything, it makes it a little more difficult.

Back from a long day

Just got back from a long day out and about. Started with us leaving about noon and going down to CiCi's on 192 for pizza which actually ended up more as an all you can eat cheesy bread lunch. After that it was down to the Premium Outlets on International Drive where an upfront parking spot we knew would mean we wouldn't find anything and we didn't, Disney outlet is always hit or miss, sadly this time it was a miss. We walked around there for a little bit and then headed over to Ikea for our main mission of going out today and that was to get a dresser for the baby's room. Like most times when we go to Ikea with an idea in our head we ended up changing our buying plans after thinking and looking over all the choices again. We got a Malm four drawer dresser, we originally had plans to by the six drawer but after looking at in and thinking about it decided it would be too tall for what we were going for and decided on the three drawer of course which they were out of leading us to our final purchase the four drawer. Now the big thing is to get the room cleared out so I can have room in there to work and get it put together, that way we can get started on organizing and sorting things out in there. Anyone watching the Academy Awards tonight? We will of course be watching them me more for the actual awards, Julie I feel may get more entertainment out of watching what everyone is wearing.

Born to travel

     I just finished putting the baby car seat into the car and it was not as bad as I thought it would be to put in. I don't know if it was just our brand or if they are all as easy as this one was to put it, it was pretty simple level out the different level bubbles and pull the strap through, lock it off and pull tight. As much as I feel confident in my own work I am still going to run it by the local fire station and have it checked by a professional. I don't think it's quite hit me yet on having it in my car, but after driving around with it in my car today I'm wondering if it will hit me, that thought of holy cow shortly I'll have a little one riding back there. I'm hoping it will pay off installing it early and being able to break it in and practice utilizing it and also remembering "Hey, you can't just get out and go shopping, get the baby". It's also nice that our carrier is not just our baby seat, its also our stroller and that sure makes it easier and simpler, well at least on paper it looks simpler. I'm definitely jealous of him already we get to drive he gets a nice comfy cozy ride.
