After work today, I’m spending the evening with Kendall. She wants to cook me dinner before we head to The Senate Concert at Cafe Solstice on the Ave. The concert starts at 9:00, doors at 8:30 so I’ll probably be there around then until it is over (scheduled to end at 11:00). After the show, we’re heading to KA to see what is up, there is supposed to be some pong action or something like that. We’ll see how that goes.

On Saturday Kendall has some sort of thing planned for me (she told me to keep Saturday open) so we’ll see what that is. Afterward we’re heading down the the Mariner’s game with the KA Alumni chapter. The Mariners suck but, baseball is baseball and it’ll be nice to see some old KA friends. After the game the plan is to go dancing at a 18+ club somewhere downtown or on Queen Anne with some KAs.

On Sunday, I’m heading over to Bainbridge to celebrate Kendall’s sisters birthday. I like Kendall’s family so it should be a fun time :) I’m excited to see how the weekend goes and I’ll try to take some pictures of the ordeal!

Speaking of pictures, I uploaded a whooooooole bunch to flickr so if you’re bored and looking for something to do, check out my photosets. You can also check them out here in the photo gallery.

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!
