Day with Jeff

Yesterday was the last free day both Jeff and I had before he had to go back to school, so we decided to spend the day together. Unfortunately, the first thing we had to do was go to Frys to return the first computer I bought, and get a new one. When I plugged the stupid thing in, it was completely in Russian and had a ton of stuff on it that was not suppose to come with it. So we packed it up and off we went. (I now have an awesome computer that seems to be working great!)

On our way out of the store Jeff saw the latest "Game Pro" magazine. All of the sudden he was like "Wait a minute.........that's my design!" About a year ago Bungie was having a Halo Design contest for shield emblems. We are really good friends with the guy working on this project, so Jeff could not enter the contest, but he sent Dave a couple of ideas. One of them was used, and is one of the more popular emblems in the game. "Game Pro" is doing a huge feature this month on the next Halo, and has some screen shots on the cover. Guess who's emblem is being used!!! We were so excited we had to buy the magazine. Here is a close up of what Jeff's emblem looks like, (it's the spartan helmet on Master Chiefs sholder, for those of you who may not have a clue what I am talking about :o) this is on one of the inside pages..............

Pretty exciting stuff. It was way cool for him to see one of his designs, and something that he has worked on, in actual print. And, in one of the bigger gamming magazines. Way cool. I was very proud of him, and excited to be able to share in that moment.

After Frys we went to go see hottie Will Smiths new move "Hancock". It didn't get very good reviews, but we watned to see it anyway. To be honest, we both kind of liked it. We decided that most people were going to the movies expecting to watch a comedy, but that it is not. A lot of funny parts, but on a whole not a comedy. It's a little hokey yes, but it was entertaining, and we both enjoyed it! Then we stuffed ourselves with Red Robin before coming home to set up the new comuter.

I loved spending the day with Jeff. He is so fun to be with, and I have to have as many mother/son days as possible, because at this point they are numbered. That's a little scarry!!!! Thanks for a fun day Jeff!!!
