Lots of stuff happenin'...

Sorry for not posting an update for so long. In addition to trying to wrap up the last bits of the kitchen project and keeping busy at work, Pat started a new job. It's in Washington DC, so we have been busy finding an apartment and getting her settled there. Initially, she will be there five days a week and evetually transition to four days a week. Luckily, we have a selection of several direct flights into BWI or DCA so that helps keep the commute manageable.

In the mean time, we are alternating weekends, so about every other weekend I head to Washington. It's a great city and the people are extremely friendly. We are having fun getting to know the city and seeing all the sites.






After talking it over for a long time, she (we!) made the decision to join the US Public Health Service, http://www.usphs.gov/. She entered as a commissioned officer, Lieutenant (LT) rank. So now, not only do I have to bow, I have to salute her as well...
Kidding aside, it is a great opportunity and will help her with her ultimate career goals. So far she is really enjoying her job and is proudly wearing the uniform! The whole uniformed service culture is a new experience for us, but everyone we have met has been very helpful getting us acclimated. So far the transition has been a great experience.

While I was downloading these images, I came across vacation pics from Thailand still in the camera. Nevermid, that we have been back almost a year! I'll share somepictures soon. But here is a little peek of our neighbors where we stayed..
