10.24.10

What in the world have we been doing with ourselves?  We have lived in Cincy a full six weeks and it still feels a bit like we are "on assignment".  Since March, we haven't been in one city/country for more than 12 weeks so it may take a while to feel settled!  That said, life is good so far.  Work is challenging (the kind of challenging that makes my brain hurt by 5:30) and we love our house and neighborhood.

As a new grad, I am on the P&G Chicago Booth recruiting team so I got to head up to Chicago recently and recruit for interns.  It was great to be back, fun to hang out with friends who still live there, and refreshing to talk to people who want to do what I'm doing.  Little do they know that I am still trying to figure out much of what I am doing!

View from the recruiters lounge.  Forbidden territory as a student.  Not that exciting as a recruiter.

Finally, we just spent a weekend with David's parents showing them the town.  The weekend started out with a bang as we celebrated the Rangers win and plotted how in the world we were going to get ourselves to the World Series.  This trip was nowhere near the whirlwind that their first trip to Chi was but we loved spending time with them and did a lot of good eating, a bit of shopping, and lots of catching up!
Bye, Bye Yanks.  It's Texas' turn!

Loving our duck quackers!

Welcome to Ohio!
