I was just looking at some pictures of my cats and found this one. Harriet is adorable.

Work

I have been here for 5 months and I can't believe how much better I am at what I do (front-end development) than I was when I started.

I just went into a project I worked on when I first started and it is so different than now. This project was an HTML4 site and I did my CSS very differently and I didn't understand the box model as well as I do now. Also, I am much better at jQuery.

I am really happy that this place has lived up to my expectations and allowed me to hone my craft. I am starting to feel like an expert at this. A real expert that is up to date on all the techniques and best practices. I know why I am doing something and why some people don't use it.

The thing I am learning about now is how browsers render pages and where the slowness happens.

My job change was a very good thing!

Save the Date!

So, we have our save the date cards addressed and ready to mail. Our wedding website is mostly ready to go. Since we have almost all the addresses already the invitations will go much faster.

I am pretty excited about this.

BTW, you should know that I would invited every person on my friends list if I could but weddings are expensive. Please don't see it as a slight if you don't get an invitation.

Also, marioche69 designed the invitations and I think she did a great job.
