Who IS this Cool Guy Next To Me?

How can it be that Steve and I spent so many hours sitting next to each other playing World of Warcraft together, and yet, we grew slowly apart? I know we were both aware of the tensions that WoW put on our relationship, but as the days turn into weeks away from the game, it is glaringly obvious how much damage that game had on our relationship.

We now spend much of our time relearning and adding to our design and computer skills and are planning to build our own company for web and print design. Every day is full of new discoveries, education and lots of fun. We are remembering our passion to learn, create, and explore and this is so wonderful.

All day long, Steve and I are exclaiming over new, cool things we've learned and often stop the other so we can share what we discovered. This is something new and fantastic, because for the past few years, both of us have become increasingly bored about learning something the other has figured out about World of Warcraft. Who cares? I know I didn't.

One of the reasons Steve and I are such a good fit is because we both enjoy learning computer programs and we also like to figure out some of the nuts and bolts, especially when it comes to figuring out how to do something and why it isn't working. It's been really great to have this common goal and learn together as we go. And because both of us are very interested in each other's specialty (print design for me, web design for him), it's been fascinating to share in the new cool things we're both learning how to do!

This is my super cool husband, Steve, sitting in front of his TWO monitors as he's learning to use Dreamweaver! Note: if you take a look at Steve's monitor, you'll notice his Blizzard Authenticator in its little pocket. *snicker*
