New Opportunity

Ok, for once this post isn't about the kids...

I just wanted to say how proud I am of Nate...as of today, he has been transferred into our corporate office to serve on the help desk. He will be joining a group of well-respected, talented, incredibly smart people that focus on CADD, plotting, and other technology related questions/problems. Our corporate office is in Kansas City, but he will be able to perform his duties from Indianapolis. We're still not sure how much travel will be involved. It may average out to a week a month?

This is a pretty nice promotion. Nate has been only working in CADD for 4 years, and he is now technically a "corporate resource." I think this proves yet again that HNTB provides opportunities for those who hunger for them. I think it also proves that Nate has a natural talent for technology - this is the cloth he's cut from.

July 4th

Our Independence Day was a pretty quiet, relaxing day. The kids spent the previous night with Aunt Lindsey and Uncle Bill. Nate and I had the pleasure of not argueing with anyone or negotiating anything for almost 24 hours...

When they came home, we just chilled out all day. And that evening we did sparklers and watched other people's fireworks in the neighborhood from the comfort of our own backyard.
