This is (hopefully) my final post from Mercer Island - YAY!
It's been a surprisingly busy last few days! Work was quiet on Monday and Tuesday, but then we went into training/orientation for the remainder of the week. We have 3 new people on our team: Jeff, Carrie and Rich. They all came from the same company as one of the other girls on our team.
On Wednesday, we hiked over to main campus and hung out in a conf room and had the opportunity to meet with and listen to several people from the organization present and share info with us.
Thursday, we started the morning with training on the tool we'll be working with and then did lots of team building exercises in the afternoon. They were really interesting, but fun too. The actual exercises are kinda hard to explain, but it really fostered building communication skills, learning each other's styles and team building.
Then that evening, we had a VERY nice dinner at the Fish Club in downtown Seattle and it was all on Uncle Bill's tab. Some senior people on the team joined us so we all got to talk with lots of different people which was really cool. There were about 15 of us and the bill was $3,000!!!!!! Can you believe that?!
Finally, one of the biggest highlights of the week culminated in this evenings event. WE STARTED MOVING INTO OUR PLACE IN REDMOND!!! YAY!!!!! I am so excited to see all our STUFF and to finally be able to settle in. We've got a long way to go, but we did manage to get the kitchen nearly finished tonight. We plan to be sleeping there by tomorrow and to have the cats there by Sunday. I'm looking forward to my new 3 mile commute on Monday! :)

Sounds like an exciting week. Even better that you will finally be in your own place. I bet the cats will be happy to get their tree back. Kalen will probably miss his favorite TV chair. How is Brian doing on his Job? Went to Nikki's graduation. It was really nice. Alyssa graduation was Fri nite only parents could go. They had it in the Cary Gym. It was hot & humid. They couldn't wait to get out. Katie's graduation was Wed nite. It was nice. Talk to you soon
How exciting!!! What a great feeling to finally be settling in to your new home! I can't wait to come out and see it. Your job sounds awesome! They really make it work for people. Sounds like a great company to work for (so far anyway). Bill knows how to treat his employees. Keep them happy and they stay! Good luck with all the moving!
