Aimee's Job

Thursday is Aimee's last day at her firm.

After six and a half years at WWCOT the time has come to move on to a new challenge. Beginning October 4th Aimee will start working for URS Corp.

This company has contracted with the Los Angeles Community College District to build new facilities on many of the LACCD campuses. They have been Aimee's clients on some of the projects she's been working on the last few years.

They have gotten to know Aimee well and have high regard for her professionalism, organizational skills and pleasant personality. She will be joining their group as a Design Manager who is responsible for helping guide these projects through the approval process. Therefore, she will still be in close contact with some of her colleagues at her old firm.

Her new employers have indicated they want Aimee to get her Architectural license. This involves a series of 8 or 9 exams taken over a period of months. Aimee is going to be busy studying for those (her first one is in a couple of weeks) while she starts her new job. Also, softball season has just begun and Aimee is involved with several teams. She will have a full plate for a while.

Obviously we are very proud of Aimee and excited about her new opportunity.

Dodger Game

We went to a Dodger game recently. They were playing the Braves. Don't remember who won.

We were part of a group that got tickets through the sports program of the Down Syndrome Assoc. of L.A.

We might try to go to a game next week. The Dodgers have been out of it for a long time and they're playing S.D. and Colorado on the final homestand. Tickets should be pretty cheap.

Joe Torre probably can't wait to get out of there.

Saturday's Action

We were both battling the sniffles over the weekend while watching the football on TV.

The ND-Michigan game was pretty exciting. It was tough to concentrate on the finish of that game while the fifth set of Federer-Djokovic was wrapping up on CBS.

Both were nail-biters and fun to watch and the best part is we're both at full strength now.
