Update from Meg

So this mainly goes out to Kels and New since I don't get to see you guys! The summer has been very good, i thoroughly enjoyed my office's half day fridays all summer long (most afternoons spent reading by the pool). Liz was gone most of the summer globe-trotting with her family so I was basically living by myself a lot, but I did in fact enjoy it and it made me realize I would eventually like to live on my own someday. But it is nice to have Liz back again and on the same schedule as me.

Work is going really well, I honesly like my job a lot. My one-year anniversary is this month! hard to believe. I've started to travel more, mainly going to trade shows to represent WEF. I went to Orlando in August and am leaving tomorrow for Dallas for 4 days. And we have our big conference and exhibition every October and this year its in Chicago, so that will be lots of fun. I am really trying to get involved more at work, especially since i really like all the travel i've been doing, and i would eventually like to work in our marketing department (i'm still in Advertising now). And, my boss' boss Jack told me in secret that he was really impressed with my work at the trade show in Orlando and he said he put me "on the list to travel internationally". (We recently started an international pavilion program where we make it possible for smaller US companies to exhibit at Int'l shows by covering all the transportation/logistics for them.) Jack expects this program to be really successful, so I am hoping to get involved with it within the next year or two. So there really is a lot of opportunities for me to move up. And now that I have some really good friends at work, we've been going out a lot in DC on the weekends and stuff.

As for boys, there is not a whole lot of activity in that category...my friend Cari from work introduced me to her friend Drew, who graduated with her from GW. He's tall, blond, and works for Obama on the campaign trail. I've met him twice, and we've been tlaking but haven't seen him in a few weeks because he's gone a lot with Obama. So we will see if we keep talking and who knows. If anything should happen I will defintiely have to give my vag a pep talk.

I'm gearing up to run in the Army 10-miler race on Oct. 5 around downtown DC. So far i'm running 8.5 miles so I'm basically there. I think I'll run it again next year if anyone else is interested, the training really was easier than I thought.

I guess thats about it... the next couple months will be super busy at work in preparation for our conference, and its also the Season of Birthdays around here! Hope you all are doing well. p.s. Talia got engaged to Jeremy! (bf of 2+ years)
