Another part of the job that really appeals to me is the opportunity for travel. The majority of their clients are in NZ, AUS and the UK although they do have a large client base in the US as well. I am starting out with three clients, one here in Mpls., one in Boston and one in Melbourne, AUS. I have already had meetings with the Minnie client and will be in Boston (hi girls!) March 31st-April 4th and tentatively AUS the last week in April. There are a couple of problems with this of course. The boy and I have tickets for the Twins home opener which is March 31st, also my birthday so it was supposed to be a joint celebration, I will have to miss that. I am also hoping that the AUS trip does not interfere with our Vegas trip which we leave for May 1st. I love Boston though and I can hardly wait for that trip. We also have a NYC office (yeah Suz!) so I will be there from time to time as well. There are a lof of different plans for the company, and I am excited to be part of something like this. I am still working from home, we all do actually, but the good thing is that we do have space in this beautiful historical building in St. Paul that I can go to anytime I want and I won't get kicked out or have to worry about finding a phone (I have experienced this quite a bit at client sites in the past year). It also gives me the opportunity to explore St. Paul and learn a whole new area, I am very excited.
This also gives me the excuse for new clothes. Well, a few new pieces anyway. So I will be on the lookout for those over the next couple of weeks. I have never been a good packer I like to take a little bit of everything. I am usually okay with a color scheme, but I just need to take pieces that I can mix and match better. We will see how I do.
This past weekend was really nice. The boy and I had a nice dinner out on Friday. I stuck with the fish, but he cheated and had ribs and chicken. In his defense, it was a BBQ place. We skipped a movie because we had both had such a long week. Saturday we headed out for some treasure hunting, went to a couple of estate sales and then stopped for lunch at a new place that opened up not far from my house back in the beginning of December. It used to be a little dive bar, but they cleaned it up and it was pretty nice. We had a nice lunch and played a couple of games of darts. Before we knew it the day had gotten away from us and it was time to head home so that I could get decked out for Mink Night.
A couple of months back, T. planned a girls night out, Mink Night. A good excuse for 10 of us girls to get together, wear our furs and hit the town. And boy did we. T. had rented a limo for us (a super stretch suburban limo no less) and mapped out our path for the evening. We made a couple of stops in St. Paul, The Lexington,



Sunday I was off to a very very very slow start, even with daylights savings. The boy and I did a ton of spring cleaning, floors and such and then had two couples over for dinner. One of the guys from his unit was home on R & R from Iraq so it was good to see him and catch up on what life has been like for him for the past 10 months. He is due to finish his tour in May.
Hopefully once I am all settled in with this new role and I have finished up with my old client I will be back to posting regularly. I have been checking in with all of you and I will continue to do so when I can! Hope you are all well.

Oh my gosh, your girls night out looks like it was fabulous fun! I can't wait until you hit Boston!
Big congrats on the new job! So very exciting, I hope you're in the NYC office soon :)
How fun an idea is mink night. I have a broadtail 3/4 sleeve jacket with mink collar and cuffs that was my grandma's that I love but don't really ever get the opportunity to wear. Perhaps I should institute one here :)
Congrats on your new position! The travel sounds like it will be fun--I am very excited you will be in Boston!
