On the Move

Aimee is busy celebrating the holiday this week with her own personal Independence Day.

Tuesday was her last day with AECOM. She started that job nearly six years ago (with URS) as a way to gain some experience with construction management. That turned out to be a very valuable and fulfilling learning experience and allowed her to work on some diverse and challenging projects.

Now she's ready to move back over to the architectural side of things. An opportunity came up to work with some former colleagues at a firm down the street from her current office and she has accepted a position there.

Naturally her employers were very sad to be losing her but this was a move she'd been considering for a while.

The new place is excited to bring Aimee aboard but it won't be right away. She pushed her start date there to August 1st so she can have a few weeks off to enjoy her summer and get a few things done that she didn't have time for before. A trip is planned to Minnesota to visit family. The last time we were in Minnesota was 2011 for Lars' wedding. This will be the first meeting with new nephew Liam.

Part of Aimee's training with her new job will include a couple of trips to the home office - in Minneapolis! This should mean more opportunities to check in on the family and get out on Lars' and Nils' new fishing boat.

Of course, we are very proud of Aimee and happy for her as she starts the next chapter in her career.
