Hello, new J O B (and a surprise at the end!)

MAKE SURE YOU SEE ENTIRE BLOG... (there are great things at the bottom too...)

Marissa came to visit me a few weeks ago at work!






She did a little work (see below), fired a few employees (see above), then left.



Then, I got a new job offer, put my notice in on Monday 7/21... thinking my last day would be August 1st.



GREAT NEWS came on Thursday 7/24 at 4pm... it would be my last day.



That was it. My work email had been cancelled by 401pm. So what did I do?? I called my mom and booked a ticket for the next day...

to SEATTLE!


23 hours later, Marissa dropped me off at the airport and I was on a flight to Seattle. My little Seattle sis, (BF) came and picked me up from the airport at 8pm (from Olympia!), and drove me (with her BFF - K) all the way to Conway (240 miles round trip)! Please note what a trip this was: http://www.mapquest.com/mq/9-QN*ElyJr


CRAZY! She is the BLSSE! (best lil seattle sis ever!)

OH, btw - if you didn't know what weekend it was...




I got to go to the ALS DoubleDay 2008!

Lots more to come... but the following is a very short preview:

Waiting to go to the airport...

First signs of mountains...


Saturday morning in Conway - I LOVE sleeping outside!

Bikers... support cars... good people... it doesn't get better than this.

Good friends... from L to R - Mike, Carston, Amit, Josh (brother)

And then off to the Conway Tavern for Saturday night celebration... (and local karaoke)

Ah yes, they'll sing - you just have to give them a little beer. (see the red cheeks??)




Ah yes, by 11pm... the dancing begins...




My bro is back from India too - it's great to have him home to hug him.
