Assorted Evan

Happy Wednesday! I'm glad it is a short week because I am so busy at work. I start my new job on June 9th, but until then, I am doing my regular job plus a little of the new one. Starting the 9th, I will be doing my new job, plus a little of the old one. I am also considering going back to Georgia State for 9 weeks and obtaining a Lean Sigma Six Ceritification. I hate the idea of going back to school but it is only 9 weeks and makes me more valuable in the long run. We'll see what I decide soon. The classes start June 12.

And now, on to the important part of this blog, that you all come to see...

Here is one of the previously mentioned photos that Evan took of himself. He took a lot more that are on the camera but they look pretty close to the same as this one.

This is a picture from the park in Lilburn on Sunday. We went to a picnic with Mom's (Lola's) filipino group.

I hope you all have a good rest of the week and are happy and well!

Promotion!

I can finally announce that I have been promoted! Actually, it is a new job being created at the hospital, with job functions similar to my current job, but I have more opportunity for growth and will play a large role in clinical research. I have been working with a couple of consultants while this job has been in the works and it's just a happy day!

I had my interviews on Tuesday, 5/13/08, and just got the final details about the job today. I still won't start it for a few weeks since they have to find someone to replace me at my current job, but I am so excited! I've been working hard and shopping harder (to look more professional) which will explain my extended absences from the blogs. I even chopped my hair off!

Here are a few pics of Evan from Tuesday, 5/13/08. Mike, Evan, and I had a mini-celebration dinner that night at Chili's. Evan is growing up so fast and hates high chairs. He wants to be so independent but I'm not quite ready for that yet!

and here's a quick self-portrait of Evan and me (with the new hair). It isn't great but Evan likes to take the pictures here lately. Another post of that soon!

I hope you all have a great holiday weekend!

Here's a few pictures from Lola's camera:

Playing catch up

Well, I guess I've been away from the blog long enough. We have been so busy that we haven't even taken many pictures. Here's the quick rundown

Last Friday was Christina's birthday. For a short month and a half, we are the same age. We went to Cole's soccer game and then went out to dinner. Here are my boys, stylin, in their shades.

a new sport?

Here's our soccer star, Cole

On Saturday, Mike had to work and I had to pack. I left for Minneapolis on Sunday morning after Mike got off of work. I proceeded to work at a conference for a few days, doing some power shopping at every break I had. I still missed my guys though.

Here is Evan modeling one of my super buys from Minneapolis. If you ever get the chance to shop at the Macy's in Downtown Minneapolis, I highly suggest it. I have gone in early May and at different times in September and I have always come across great bargains. On this trip, we all got clothes and I got a new designer handbag and cute shoes.

and Mike finally used his stack of Best Buy gift cards and got him a Xbox 360 Elite. Evan likes to think he's playing too.

I have another busy week coming up but hopefully all of my hard work is about to pay off. I hope that everyone else is enjoying our great weather and that life is treating you all well. I'll try not to stay away so long this time.
