They're settled

Heather and Troy arrived Monday afternoon and we've all had a whirlwind week. They successfully closed on their house and Luke and I helped them unpack and get things put away yesterday. Their house is very cute and they've remarked several times that they might actually have enough space this time to put everything away! What a novel idea...

I had a job interview Monday for an Environmental Engineering firm who would like me to edit their reports and outgoing documents to make them sound more polished and professional. At the interview, he handed me a sample of the type of report they generally send out and it was longer than Tolstoy's "War and Peace"! But, a lot of it was charts and graphs, so that made me feel a bit better. I now know exactly what Luke describes when he talks about the engineers that he deals with. This guy was an engineer through and through -- very nice though. I thought the interview went well, and we'll see what happens. I'm trying to decide if it would be a good fit for me.
I have another interview Monday for a consulting firm who is looking to hire an Administrative Assistant. This is actually a work-from-home position, which is very exciting -- I would love to skip the commute! So, anyway, that's the latest in my job hunt. The good times continue... :)

Luke and I were planning to stick around here for our anniversary, but we came across some incredible fares to Washington D.C. and decided to seize the opportunity. Uncle Val and Aunt Alice have invited us to stay with them, so it looks like we'll get to spend Labor Day weekend exploring the capital. We've both been there before, so we're going to try to pick our favorite sites and fit in the ones we both missed last time. Unfortunately we really only have two full days, so we'll be busy trying to fit everything in! We're very excited though!

We hope everyone is well! Keep us posted with the latest.
