Hope everyone is enjoying the great Labor Day weekend weather so far!!
First, I want to apologize for not posting more, we have had a busy summer and fall doesn't look to allow us to slow down. I wanted to give some quick updates, in case you had not heard...
Lauren started classes almost two weeks ago at George Mason University School of Law! I'll let her share more details, but will tell you she has been buried in reading. Overall she has been excited about the experiences.
Last May we volunteered for the 2010 Virginia HOBY (Hugh O'Brian Youth) Leadership Seminar at University of Richmond. It was an awesome weekend with ~225 sophomores from high schools all over Virginia. I was nominated and elected to the Corporate Board and had the opportunity to attend the HOBY Training Institute. After TI I have been ramped up in planning future events and updating VA HOBY's online/IT infrastructure. Look for more updates on events and even opportunities for volunteering around the state.
Last Monday, I started a new position at Marine Corps Systems Command. I was given the opportunity to lateral from a technical position to a project officer position. I now have the task of managing directly two web based systems that support USMC manpower and HR business processes. This will grow my experience and allow me to apply knowledge from ISAT (specifically web services).
Also, in case you weren't aware we have moved (about two miles) from our apartment in Pentagon City. We still live in Arlington and are enjoying a quieter location with a greater neighborhood feel. We have had spent the summer grilling out and enjoying our new home. We are located off the metro, but close to a bus line to allow Lauren to get to school.
Our new building started a pet-of-the-month award, and the first month Foosa was selected! We'll try to post the bio that was posted in the lobby during August. She is now recognized by our neighbors who all ask
I hope all is well with each of you, and as we always say - will try to post more...

Is that Foosa the famous pet??Which she replies by usually being relatively shy (she loves the attention).
