Hey all

Just wanted to give a quick update.  Things are looking up in pretty much all areas, so I guess I’ve got nothing to complain about.

Things are going well with Brianne’s pregnancy.  12 more weeks and the baby is here!  I’m very excited about being a dad again, and Liam is very excited to be a big brother.  Now, Brianne doesn’t feel too hot at times, but I keep telling her it’s all worth it in the end.  I’m actually watching her belly move right now.  It’s kinda freaky but cool at the same time.  I can’t wait until we can see handprints protruding.

The new job is going very well too.  I’ve been given some extra responsibilities already and I feel pretty good about that.  Everyone I work with is great and the Leads are very helpful and supportive.  We had a Christmas dinner last Saturday night, and the EnCana Children’s Christmas party on Sunday.  One more coming up this Saturday for the kids again, this time through my actual “employer” lol.  Lots of fun and it’s nice to see a focus on the families instead of just the employees when it comes to extra-curricular stuff.

And of course, my Flames are kicking bum and taking names.  Yes we have the odd poopy game, but that’s to be expected.  Still have the best goalie in the league in Miikka Kiprusoff and one of the best players in Jarome Iginla.  I’m taking Liam to see Nashville on Dec 19th and the Leafs on January 2nd.  I hope that the Flames pound the poop out of the Leafs!!  Should be good, wholesome family fun!

Other than that, we got TLC this Sunday (hope Sheamus and DX win, I’ll post my full predictions before the PPV), Christmas in a couple weeks (yay presents!) and Boxing Day!  I love Boxing Day.  Cheap stuff rules!!  This Boxing Day I don’t anticipate getting too much because of the baby coming, but next year I will get a nice new big shiny TV.  Guaranteed.

That’s all for now.  Have a Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah or whatever it is you celebrate this time of year.

What’s up all?

I upgraded the software on my web server and all the stuff got deleted!  Not that I had much on there, but now I gotta start again.  Sigh.

Anyway, we have a baby on the way in March!  Not sure if it’s a boy or girl, but as long as it doesn’t come out Black or Chinese, I’m cool (no offense to either or those ethnicities) lol.  I’m very excited to be a dad again, and words can’t describe how happy I am and how much I’m looking forward to the day he/she is born.  I love Liam like my own and have had to learn how to be a dad on the fly, so hopefully I can take what I’ve learned with him and make sure this baby has a happy, healthy life.  Here are some pictures.

In other news, I started a new job.  I’m working at EnCana now back in the IT realm.  I had fun selling phones, but it’s not what I wanna do for the rest of my life.  Especially not working weekends…  Ewww…

Other than that, my Flames are doing pretty good so far.  I’m glad they didn’t have a typical terrible October and I hope to see it continue.  I have only been to one exhibition game this year so hopefully we can get out to at least a couple more this season.  The game I did see was the one vs. the Islanders when Theoren Fleury scored the winning goal in the shootout!  Man, that was awesome!!  Anyway, I wouldn’t mind checking out that Leafs game.  Nothing would be sweeter than watching my boys crush those petty fools from Toronto while I’m hangin’ at the Dome, chillin’ with Jarome!

I am not very happy about WWE changing the Raw theme song to Nickelback.  I don’t hate many bands, but I hate them.  I don’t know what they’re thinking.  So now, after all these years, SmackDown has a better song than Raw for once.  I’d love to make a pile of Nickelback CDs and “Burn It To The Ground” for sure.

Finally, I got an iPhone.  What?  Adam without a BlackBerry?  Well the times, they are a-changing.  I wanted something different.  BlackBerry hasn’t changed much, if at all, since I’ve had it.  Sure it looks different and has new upgrades here and there, but the basic premise has never really changed.  Not that there’s anything wrong with that, but I just got bored and decided to try something new.  I like iPhone so far because it’s a neat platorm, there’s tons of apps, MUCH better web browsing and jailbreaking does wonders for it.  I have my e-mail setup via Exchange and it works amazingly.  Funny thing to note, I’ve used 300 MB and sent/received about 1000 texts since the switch 4 days ago.  Wow.  Shows how much BlackBerry Messsenger/Data Compression come into play when it comes to data device data use, eh?  But to those traditionalists, fear not… I am getting a BlackBerry from work in the next week or two so I’ll have my BlackBerry Messenger back up and running shortly.

Hmm… guess that’s about it for now.  Take it easy all!
