Fall is here, bringing with it football, slightly cooler weather (mid-80's!), and stores promoting the upcoming holidays. Our office has become a haunted house with everyone decorating their cubicles and planning their costumes for Halloween. I can't believe it's already October and I will have been in Florida for a year soon! I made it through my first summer here without melting. It definately was a hot one but the humidity wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. That's not to say I'm not glad it's over with though!
We're having our annual admin day outing this Friday, heading to Tampa for a day at Busch Gardens. Since I'm not a big roller coaster fan, I can't say I'm too excited about it but it definately beats a day in the office!!
Since it's been such a long time since my last post, let me fill you in on what's been happening. Trips included a visit back to Seattle (thanks Ebeth for letting me stay with you!), a quick hop to St. Louis for training and I got to spend some time with Lee, Matt, and Rob, Indiana for the US Grand Prix, a weekend in Gainesville to see Julie, many trips to Miami for the weekend, and a week in California to visit the fam and help celebrate Mom and Abbie's birthday. Thanks to my visitors so far this year, Taz, Mel, and Ebeth! It was great seeing you! As the weather is cooling down, it's ideal time for guests, so make those travel plans!
Work has been going really well. This group is definately transitional though! We've seen many department heads go and have an all-new team. My boss just got promoted (congrats James!) so I will be reporting to someone new. I'm excited about the change and look forward to another successful year here at ERAC (can you believe I've been here 10 years!). Hopefully in another year or two I will be able to start throwing for another group spot, something a bit bigger. My department is fully staffed and plugging away. We've made some great accomplishments during my time here and I'm looking forward to getting my team members promoted soon! Congratulations go out to Miss Jenna White! Jenna worked for me in Seattle and was recently promoted to Loss Control Supervisor in Group 17. I'm so excited for her and look forward to hearing about her adventures in her new group.
Of course most of you know that Steve and I broke up (actually he just sort of vanished into thin air!) but it turned out to be for the best because I met someone new and we've been dating for about 5 months now. Those of you who have met him know that he's a great guy, very funny, and definately supportive! He moved here from Miami so we're both missing big city life. Fort Myers is nice, but definately small town! I took Stuart with me to California, his first trip to the west coast. He enjoyed it so much we're going back next month. It is homecoming after all and he's got to experience a USC game! (I went to Formula One at Indy, so it's his turn!). How bout them Trojans! While some of the games have been close, it's good to see the team still winning after losing so many great players.
So that about sums up the last few months. Some exciting events on the horizon include mom visiting next week, our trip to California, the holidays, and next year a trip to Hawaii for my sister's wedding! Yes, her and Jeff are tying the knot finally! I'm looking forward to a long vacation there, especially since I'll get to visit my college roomie, Tracie, who recently made the move there.
Hope everyone is doing well! I miss you all and hope to continue to keep in touch with everyone. Come visit if you can and I'll keep you posted on travel plans so I can catch up with you if I'm in your state!
Cheers!
Sasha
