Lots of things have happened since the last entry... Paula and I went to South Padre Island, ostensibly to pick up a computer I bought from Chuck; however, we all know the *real* reason was to go play in the surf! We had a great time down there - it was great to see Chuck again, and the island was mostly empty since we went the weekend before Memorial Day. The people were all really friendly and we had a great room at a hotel right on the beach! (Ok, our room wasn't *right* on the beach, but we only had to walk about 100m to get there.) I think we have found a new weekend getaway destination! It's only 6.5 hours drive, too, so it is an easy weekend trip.
Dad went to the specialists, and the news was not as bad as it could have been, but it there are still things that must be dealt with... so we are still keeping him in our thoughts and prayers. We will be going up for my sister's wedding, so we will get to see him then.
Yes, that's right - Johnna is getting married again! She seems much happier this time, so that's good. At least Tim can keep a job :) So, they are going to have a wedding at the church in Roosevelt; hopefully, this time I will be able to avoid having an accident on the way to the church (like the first time - not good).
Justin and Jacob and I have been playing Diablo online - it is the easiest for Justin to connect to since he is on dialup. We have a great time, although I have to remember that in Diablo, my arrows can hurt the other players (heh). Justin has really leveled up his character, so it's hard to keep up until I can catch up with him. Jacob and I have been playing Ultima Online; it's our first foray into the MMORPG realm of online gaming, and it has had its ups and downs. We finally found a shard (server) that has a good mix of people, although it has the obligatory rabid-dog players, bent on killing all other players on sight. We can usually avoid them, though, except when we need to go to "their" areas - the parts of the world where player-killing is legal, that is. Hey, it's all part of the game! I like it so far, and if it works out, I may be willing to pay for Final Fantasy XI - it looks really good, but I wanted to be able to try the MMORPG thing first before I dropped $100.
more later :)
