*1st Annual Inman Park Hot & Humid 5K, September 2008
Well, I got back from the States last week and think I'm finally starting to sleep regularly again. It was a wonderful vacation and it was really good getting to visit with everybody...especially Snoop. For all that are curious, we're still trying to get him shipped over here, but his bloodwork has not been good enough for the Australian quarantine services. Alas.
It's a big week coming up here down under. I've got a new job starting on Tuesday. I'll be working for the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (RMIT) in their policy department. I'm super excited. I'm not sure how long the job will be mine, as I'm replacing someone who has gone on leave for six (6) months and may/may not be coming back. I'm really enjoying the short-term work arrangements though-- it gives me an opportunity to try different things out.
John is going to weigh-in today for Uni-Games '08. This will be John's first Tae-Kwon-Do comptetition and as Leif says, "he'll be using himself as a human weapon". I'll be covering the event, so look later this week for commentary and photos.
Also in the news.... On October 2nd, I turn 30. John and I will be celebrating this milestone(?) next weekend with a getaway to the Great Ocean Road. Who knows where the road will take us, so stay tuned!
At the end of the month, John will be taking his Confirmation of Canidature examanination. This is the first step towards the doctorate...if you don't count being accepted, getting the scholarship and moving.
It is officially not winter anymore.

Hi Jama and Johnny..
Congrats to both of you for all the upcoming opportunities!!
The photo of you guys is priceless, definitely another screensaver for me. It was very special for John and me to visit with you while you were here.
Hope your birthday is a memorable one as you two embark on another exciting road trip. We want to see and hear all the highlights. Glad to hear that the dreary winter weather is behind you and warmer days are ahead.
We love you both and can't wait till we are together in Hawaii.
Aloha,
Mom and Dad
