November 20
08 we saw the first election of an African American. I personally voted for the other guy, but I can't ignore the historic moment that took place. We have witnessed a multitude of bailouts, government takeovers and tea party-esque revolts. Its been a wild ride. I'm happy to have seen it from my comfy spot over the Potomac in NoVA. This month I also adopted a precocious kitten named Connor.
December 2008 and January 2009 were interesting months for me personally. I moved from a disgusting townhouse in Vienna (which I had only occupied for three months) and into a cute apartment in McLean (pronounced Maclaine), just a few miles away from Langley (CIA Headquarters). Promptly after this move, which only took about 24 hours, I hopped on a plane to Hawaii (with a short layover in LA). I spent a week in paradise to celebrate the marriage of my cousin Jordan and new cousin Rusty. Oh, and my little brother proposed to his girlfriend. She said yes, of course.
February through April 2009 were fairly uneventful. My best friend from Middle School and High School, Justin, moved to DC to become a fireman. I attending CPAC for the second time with my good friend Chris and got to rub elbows with some interesting individuals. Immediately after that I experienced my first significant snowfall of 6-8 inches. Professionally I began applying for assistant 
manager positions within Enterprise as well as other positions outside the company. I had my first interview with Kaplan Inc. I also flew home to attend my Dad's retirement dinner. Surprise!May and June came and went with little excitement.
July 2009 I was promoted to Assistant Manager at the Enterprise in Tysons Corner. Shortly after that I received my job offer with Kaplan Inc. Personally, I was doing the dating thing and getting nowhere fast.
More to come...
