Thank you

Thank you to every one who has been praying for my grandfather. My grandpa or Ta-Ta as my cousins and I call him, passed away this afternoon around 3:00pm. He is with the Lord now, and is in a better place. Thanks again for all the calls, emails and condolences that have been sent to us. We are truly Blessed to have had such a wonderful Dad, Ta-Ta, brother, and friend.

Please Pray

My grandfather is in ICU in a coma with a blood hemorrhage in his brain. It has been a very difficult couple of days for my family and I. I would appreciate it, if every one could say a prayer that he gets wells soon and comes out of the coma. Thank you and God Bless.

Job Hunting (Update)

Around a month ago I posted a blog stating that I was trying to find a job. Here is an update........I found a job. Actually I found three jobs. I started applying for jobs in late June and I was fortunate to land three interviews. Two weeks ago, I was extended an offer on all three of the jobs that I applied for. The crazy thing was that they all contacted me on the same day. I did not expect for all three to extend me an offer. I was quite flattered.

It took me an entire weekend to decide which job to take. It actually was between four jobs. I could have stayed at the current job that I am at as well. It was one of the most nerve racking and emotional weekends that I have been through. I had so many mixed emotions. It forced me to sit down and actually think what is it that I want in my life. Where do I want to be in the next three, five and ten years? I did a lot of soul searching and really set out some clear cut goals for myself.

All three of these jobs are fabulous and offer great benefits and are all equal in pay, so you can see where my dilemma was when trying to select just one. I had managed to narrow it down to two jobs but still had a hard time trying to pick just one. I called on the help of one of my good friends from Seattle to help me. She helped me realize what would be best for me. Thanks Shelia! You are the best.

So I start my new job on September 4, 2007. I am going to be working at California State University Fullerton. I am excited for my new career venture, and am looking forward to achieving the goals that I have set for myself.

One Down, Eight More to Go!

I completed my first class last Thursday. I started my new class on Tuesday. That means once this class is completed on September 11, 2007, I will have eight more classes to go! I am really glad that next year at this time I will be done with my MBA!

Team Seattle!

Team Seattle, what is that? Raymond and I moved back to California in June as most of you know, but we did not know how much we were going to miss living in the beautiful city of Seattle. Raymond and I are desperate to get back up to the Pacific Northwest. We have set some goals and give ourselves no more than three years in California.

We are both born and raised in California so you would think that we like it here. Well, the truth of the matter is that we do not like it here. I never realized how gross and dirty California is. One of the only reasons that we like California is because all of our families live here.

Since we've moved back all we talk about is Seattle, and frankly my brother is getting annoyed with me. He says "Move back them!". So that is what we plan to do! We have given ourselves three years because by that time, I will have my MBA and Raymond will have his BS. That will allow us to be more competitive in the job market.

Go Team Seattle!!!!!!
