Up next...

This last week I got a job! It's in Livermore, CA (Bay Area) working as an industrial hygienist for the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory. It was a stellar opportunity and we both feel great about the situation. I'm actually a native of the Bay Area, so it's like a homecoming for me. It will be nice to show Mal and Madie around my old stomping grounds. Since it's a federal facility (Dept. of Energy), they bring in private consulting/contracting companies to do the work for them and the government is the 'customer'. It's actually a lot like the Idaho National Laboratory, where I did my internship last summer. The contract will expire in August, but they are negotiating the extension of the contract right now. If the contract expires in August, then we have other possibilities. In my experience, one opportunity always leads to another.

Golden Gate Bridge, San Francisco Bay.
This is what Livermore looks like in the spring, where we will most likely live near/or in.

Of course...what would a blog post be without a photo of Madie? This is her in our laundry basket.

Congratulations!!! Good thing we got to see you while we were in UT last, I don't know when we'll be heading out to CA... will you guys be anywhere near Janice and Galen?

Mal said...

I think Janice and Galen are in SoCal, so no, not really. We're by the San Francisco Bay.

That's great Mike! When do you guys go? I'm assuming at least you'll wait until Mal is done.
