Jeep Not Dead...and other updates :)

Whew - what a day!

1. The Jeep (Scott's) is ALIVE! On the way back from the OBX, we had a big scare. It was an awful slamming sound every time we'd go over 35 mph. Luckily it was only for the last hour or so, but we were so sure it was something in the engine, like oh, I don't know, a transmission? We got towed once we got within range of a AAA shop and we were calculating in our heads how much we could wrangle up for a new car, how much is worth putting in to the old Jeep, etc. Um yeah, the windshield came loose and the guy "popped" it back in. His words. So, we're keeping on Jeeping at least till the end of the summer, God willing! And while we're a little embarrassed, we're also happy not to have to deal w/ having to share one car and/or buying a new one before we're really ready.

2. Scott is an interview machine! He had a second interview at the company in NC today, and though I haven't talked to him yet directly, I got a very excited sounding voice mail about how he loooved the ppl he met with and would loooove to work with them. Fingers crossed the looooved him too. And right now he's on his way to the Boston area for a 2-day interview. Who knows! :)

3. My first day at IBM! Wow... I feel like I'm back at Fidelity, but with different programs to learn and different and equally nonsensical acronyms... I have to admit, I'm a little intimidated at this point. I think I'll be alright in the end, I just think I'm going to have to put in a lot of effort to beat this learning curve! I love my manager and mentor, so hopefully that'll be a big help.

And it was a long day! I had the best intentions of going to the gym tonight but ya know? My brain did the work out for my body today so I'm taking a break!

I'm working on getting some pics together from Gu & Blair's wedding on Sat night and putting up more of the family OBX trip. Fun times! :)
