It is already August. That is kinda crazy! One thing it means though is that football season is coming which excites me. I got my Husky season tickets last week so I’ll be at all the home guys and I’ve got a ticket for WSU. I’m also considering going to: USC, Cal, Arizona and Oregon but, we’ll see how money, how much flights are and what it looks like timing wise. Kendall got the school pack too so she’ll be at a lot of the games with me. I’m excited for that! I’m also interested to see how the seahawks do. I haven’t been keeping up with anything in the offseason so it’ll be a surprise for me.

August also means I’ve been at my new job for almost a month! I started July 7th as a Program Manager at Microsoft on the Dynamics CRM team. I’m working on a CRM feature called the Email Router which essentially helps manage how emails get in and out of the CRM system. I like my team quite a bit, they all seem like great people and I love the environment here. I’m still getting ramped up with all the ins and outs of the Email Router but, overall I’m really enjoying my time here. I finally got my first paycheck yesterday (seems like I haven’t been paid in forever) which takes a little financial stress off. I’m using my first several paychecks to make big dents in my pile of debt collected during college.

My trip to New York City was a month ago now. I still need to post pictures for that (and for a whole bunch of other things that I’ve done recently). I think maybe as I post pictures of events I’ll do retroactive blog posts about them. Yeah, yeah it isn’t as nice as if I did it then but, at least it’ll be online!

I’m excited to see what August brings, I know it will be a great month!
