Big Changes

[Trinn]

Hey guys!! So I know I have been quite inactive on the forum, much to my own displeasure, but I have really good reasons! Let me share a few. First off, I spent the first half of the year and a good portion of the last planning my wedding! I am now a Mrs. May 14th will forever be a special day for me now. Almost simultaneously, my husband and I have also been house hunting. We are finally in the process of closing on our first home. It's exciting but incredibly stressful!

And lastly, and probably most exciting and nerve wracking... I'm pregnant! My husband and I are expecting to welcome our little girl into the world October 25th. I have had such an incredibly busy and productive year so far. So please bear with me, for my continued absence will still be in effect. However, I genuinely do plan on making more of an effort to be an active part of the forum. I miss my characters and everyone else! There are unfinished adventures to be had, dragons to hatch, riders to bond them, and shades to slay! My appearances may be slim and fleeting, but please know this wonderful board is on my mind and that I truly miss my friends that I have made here. So expect to see more of me, but also still not quite as much.


Also, if anyone has any baby name suggestions, go ahead and post those in this thread! My husband and I are having a hard time thinking of the perfect name! (Or at least agreeing on one, ha!)

Aw, it is a girl! Congratulations on the wedding and the coming baby. No worries about trying to keep up; family comes first. But when you can make time, I'm always happy to see you. Post pictures of baby on Google+ when she arrives, because I'm excited to see her!

As for names...In the words of our beloved Saphira,"Inventing random names is easy. Inventing the right name, however, can try the patience of even an elf." But among my favorite names at the moment are Elise, Liliana, Chandra, and Robin. Yeah, Fire Emblem and Magic are my main games right now. lol

Congratulation for both the wedding and the baby! big changes indeed! I'm sorry I have no idea for baby names maybe a name from a book, game, tv show that you and your husband both like? or go the traditional rout of naming after or drawing inspiration from a grandparent's or great grandparent's name if you both like the name that is.

Good suggestions guys! Thank you! My husband and I have gone down the grand parent route but none of those names appeals to us, or my cousins have already been named after them. I had someone suggest I go to a graveyard and find a name I like on a tombstone... Pass! lol. And Jeriah, my husband is obsessed with playing Magic on XBox One. I prefer the physical game to the electronic though.

lol, I have only recently started playing Magic. I've got quite a number of cards and built a few decks from them. Not sure if they're actually any good or not because I have no one to play with. I also have Magic Duels on Steam and I've been playing through the story mode on my channel. Black has been really hard! Ah!
I think my favorite part about the digital game is that it give more background to the lore of the game than just the physical cards generally do. I have a couple of books from Magic that I've been reading through. Good stories, but Agents of Artifice was terribly written! Typos and fragments and run-ons everywhere! But yeah, although red is not my best color to play, Chandra is definitely my favorite character in the Magic universe.

Yeah graveyards are creepy don't do that. I'm sure you will find the perfect name when you least expect it.

I've never played magic but I've seen the card game played so many times at conventions and every time i think to myself I should try that but then get too busy shopping and taking photos and forget. I Play the Pokemon trading card game online and sometimes Hearthstone is it similar to any of those?

[Tismri]

Magic is the first card game I've really gotten into, but from what I understand, if you know how to play games like Pokémon and Yu-Gi-Oh!, then you should easily understand how to play Magic. Actually, getting Magic Duels either on Xbox, Steam, or mobile is a really good way to learn how to play because it has tutorials that have you practice every concept as it comes up. Oh, and it's free. Free games are good games. Sometimes...in this case, yes. lol

TRINNN!!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!! I am super excited for you! You and your husband will be amazing parents! I have always liked the name Alexandria or Alexis - it has a certain regal yet modern charm to it, in my opinion.
