Pay raise... GET!
So I have had some money trouble for a while now. I try to run away from it and forget about it all the time. It had taken the fact that I was getting married and that I need to more money to do the things that we want and need: A house and eventually a family.
So I told my place of employment that I have to start looking for a new job, because this one is too far (gas cost and lots of mileage on the car) and I really don't get paid what I need to pay my bills and live off of. I really like what I do and for the most part I like the people I work with on a daily basis... I don't want to leave.
Apparently, they really like me and appreciate my work because they have offered me a huge pay increase and flexible hours. The flexible hours mean that I have the opportunity to work from home as I need all I have to do is provide a way for them to contact me outside of e-mail :D.
This is a huge step to fixing my financial issues and it will allow the items I mentioned above to happen plus more :).

Happy New Year!
December was action packed!
I played my last game of Mage: The Awakening, not sure when I'll get to do that again.
I recorded and edited 2 podcasts for 1d4cast D&D Special, go here to stream or download them :).
I also spent the day after Christmas and New Year's Eve with Alicia and we drove to my parents house to celebrate with them.
I had all of last week of December off from work (paid) so watched a lot of the New Doctor Who, Season 1 and 2 along with a lot of movies such as Fanboys and Ninja Assassin when Alicia had to work.
Now that January is here, the next big thing is MAGFEST, which is the best video game-centered convention on the East Coast.
The Music and Gaming Festival (aka MAGFEST) is a convention held by video game fans for video game fans. It plays movies and shows that are based off of video games, it has a concert hall where bands play their video game cover songs while fans rock out in the crowd, guest musicians such as Hiroki Kikuta (of Secret of Mana fame) host panels, Chiptune Concerts galore, Vendors such as X-Strike Studios sell their wares (t-shirts, movies, plushies, games and consles), and best of all a room that is filled with consoles of all types and Arcade machines is open 24 hours every day of the convention!
Let your inner gaming Geek/Nerd/Dork out and come join us in Alexandria, VA's Hilton Mark Center for one of the best conventions ever. It runs from January 13 (Thursday) to the 16th (Sunday).
To get a glipse of last years' fun, check out this 2-part video that a friend of mine, Bryan, made: Journey to MAGFest 8.
