Congratulations to myself on the 11th year in U.S.! I can not believe that this fact, but I just love this adventurous journey.
Keep up and make best out of every day's life!

nice compliment
Ever since I finished my vacation, I am back to normal routine, busy but challenging in many ways.
Today as I briefed work staff with my Director, as well as current ongoing recruitment. I suggested to bring new fresh blood for a demanding technical position. He looked at me said "Charlotte, you are the best hiring I ever had. You're truly what God sends to us!" I stared at him, could not believe my ear, these are so far the best compliments I consider about my professional development. I thanked him. On the way back home, there're more reflection on how much this means to me and what encouragement for me to be on management path.
I had a struggle to let my technical strength put aside and pursue leadership in management, though I spent a lot of spare time to keep up my technical skills. I know someday I want to be a good leader in technical management, but expecting bumps on the road. To have my employer appreciate my hard work and see my strength in leadership is amazing.
(xixi, I feel that I am bragging here. oh well, since I do not share my blog, I am just telling myself how fun this journey has and will be!)

The first weekend of Aug.
I am still slowly recovered from my trip's jet leg, somehow going to bed around 6 at night, getting up around 3 in the morning and wondering around, wishing all friends are up for breakfast or coffee something.
When I got back, Washington is like dessert, hot and unbearable. I wonder if I get back to the right place. Wednesday it was 104 F. I was sort of feeling that I was on the stove :(
Marilyn came to see me on Saturday on her way back from China. I met a few of ELIC teachers at airport, so good to see Bill there.
Since she and I are both getting over jet leg, we got up quiet early on Sunday and head to Peninsula, Quanault Rain Forest. We hiked for a whilte and saw the world largest spruce tree, 191' tall!
Saturday I attended Sarah's wedding in Olympia. As we walked into the reception hall waiting for the newly-wed, we certainly found the way to have a fun.
Dress nice to attend a wedding
$20
Getting the nerve to put a spoon on the face
$30 bottle of wine
Actually standing in front of your church people to perform your spoon skill
another $30 bottle of wine
Having everyone's face hanging a spoon(include your pastor)
Priceless
