Adobe Employee

Jeff is officially an Adobe Employee! I'm so happy and proud that all that hard work and hell he put himself through made him one of the most reliable people on his team and guaranteed him a spot under the new Adobe ownership.

Edit: As an Adobe employee, Jeff does get a significant discount on Adobe products. He can only get a limited number, but let us know if you're interested in anything: http://www.adobe.com/products/

The only bad news is that this might be the last Omniture halloween party. This year, they tried to limit the trick-or-treaters to immediate family. It didn't quite work. We didn't help by bringing my friend from work, Jane, and her niece, Libby.
The different departments are assigned themes to decorate their areas. Jeff's department was given Hanna Barbera cartoons. I forgot my camera, but someone else remembered and posted pictures on the internet. This one is a portion of the Hanna Barbera area: Pepe Le Pew


It was all amazingly done. There was also Scooby Doo, Roadrunner, Tweety Bird, Speedy Gonzales, Flinstones, and (oddly) George of the Jungle. And that was just in that one area. There was also a Peter Pan area where we "flew" over London and visited Never Land. The CEO hallway was Smurf land. Josh James was Papa Smurf and he had hired midgets in blue paint to pass out twinkies and ding dongs. They practically threw them at us as we tried to walk down the hall. It was fantastic.

Jeff and I have fallen pray to another figurine war game. It's called Arcane Legion. In order to build your army, you have to buy booster packs that cost $12 a pop. It's incredibly addicting to open the boxes and find out what new characters we can add to our armies. Jeff has been playing as Romans and I've been enjoying the Hans.
News in the Pregnancy:
I believe I am now 16 weeks along. I know it depends from woman to woman but, from what I understand, the second trimester is supposed to be the "golden" portion of the pregnancy. Apparently, I am one of the lucky women who gets to feel awful throughout the entire process. It's not all awful. Jeff has been nothing but wonderful to me while I complain about stretching pains and nausea. He wakes up early and heats up a rice bag for my side while he fixes me breakfast.
We have another doctor's appointment November 24th where we get to listen to our baby's heartbeat again. We find out what gender it is going to be sometime in December (we could find out on the 24th, but it would cost us $50 and we're not that desperate).

Aren't omniture halloween's awesome! That is one thing about being in orem that I really miss.
16 weeks, woohoo! Are you feeling the baby move yet? If not, you will soon. Such an awesome feeling. A nice reminder that all the pain is for a good reward.

I'm glad Jeff's hard work paid off. What a relief! I'm sorry to hear that you aren't feeling better. Big bummer!

Congratulations, Jeff! I'm glad to see my little niece or nephew will be well provided for! I hope you start to feel better soon, Cyndi. It can't all be bad for the whole 9 months, right?

Yay! Now I know what is new with the Days! Can't wait to hear what you're having.

yes, we are all eager to know what kind of baby you will have. Jessica needs to know whether to buy blue or pink yarn.
