The Kindle Fire Rob gave me for my birthday arrived and I love it. I think it&#8217;s great for the price point and particularly if you&#8217;re only interested in consuming media. I brought it along on our trip and so far I&#8217;ve used it to play games, read books, and watch TV (The Wonder Years is available on Amazon streaming!). The only downside is that because it&#8217;s backlit, my eyes definitely get tired after reading for long periods of time. So the Fire isn&#8217;t going to replace my original Kindle, which features a much easier on the eyes e-ink display.<\/p>\n<p><center><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/ever-lasting.net\/temp\/kindlefire.jpg\" border=\"0\"><br \/>\n<\/center><\/p>\n<p>3. We&#8217;ve lived in our house for over a year now but still have yet to finish furnishing our master bedroom. I&#8217;ve been looking for a vanity table to store my girly stuff and I finally found one! Now we just want to get a ceiling fan and floor-length mirror in there and we&#8217;ll be all set.<\/p>\n<p><center><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/ever-lasting.net\/temp\/vanity.jpg\" border=\"0\"><br \/>\n<\/center><\/p>\n<p>4. About a week prior to our trip, we received Mickey mail (aka our Disney vacation confirmation). I&#8217;m pretty sure my excitement skyrocketed. And I had good reason &#8212; so far, it&#8217;s been an AH-MAY-ZING trip.<\/p>\n<p><center><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/ever-lasting.net\/temp\/mickeymail.jpg\" border=\"0\"><br \/>\n<\/center><\/p>\n<p>5. I actually planned ahead and ordered and received our Holiday cards. Woo hoo! If you&#8217;d like one, let me know in the comments and I&#8217;ll send you an email!<\/p>\n<p><center><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/ever-lasting.net\/temp\/holidaycardpreview2011.jpg\" border=\"0\"><br \/>\n<\/center><\/p>\n<p>Now it&#8217;s December, Rob &amp; I have had a fantastic first week of vacation and we&#8217;re looking forward to the second. I can&#8217;t wait to share highlights and pics of our trip when we get back. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I meant to post this entry before vacation but ran out of time.
