I heard about this on NPR
GasBuddy is a website that tells you the current cheapest places to find gas in your area.
I am going to put a link to the right.
Although it is not for us…
I wanted to clear one thing up after my “another reason south florida sucks” comment…Sherry and I miss our friends down there, just not our non-friends (like the blue haired left lane drivers), the high prices and being hot all the time.
So, Gatoreena, don’t be a hater just cause Virginia is better 😉
HAPPY BIRTHDAY (part 2)
Since they are individual people I figured they needed individual blog entries. HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my mom. Out of respect I will not post her age here 🙂 Sherry and I celebrated her birthday in DC this weekend and exchange present at a very crowded Starbucks, as Georgia Tech won it’s second round game.
I hope Don takes you out to a fancy dinner tonight, Mom and that you have a wonderful day.
I love you!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY
Today is Sherry’s 26th Birthday and we are having a party on Friday to celebrate it. If any of you can make it, please let me know. I have invited the in town people that I hope can make it already, but any out of town people would be great to have also.
We went to Sherry’s favorite for breakfast, McDonald’s (maybe that is why she married me?!!?)
And we are going to dinner tonight.
Send her an email and wish her a happy birthday.

Tara’s Wedding
We went to see Tara Spuhler get married this weekend in Washington, DC. I have posted pictures here (direct link for yahoo account holders). Got to see Clare Aranow, and all the old RPC crew, which was nice. The wedding was wonderful and the reception was a blast.
Best Wishes to the new couple!!!

Sherry’s Job
For those of you that don’t know, Sherry has been looking to get a full time job, and with Virginia Wesleyan finally getting things in order after the Vice President shake up. Her new boss has made her a very nice offer that we are pleased with. In addition to that she has also interviewed for a prospect research position with EVMS and received a verbal offer last night.
Both salaries are about the same but VWC has some amazing benefits… three of which I would like to point out:
1) 30 days paid time off (including sick and personal time)! (plus 17.5 holidays)
2) They contribute 8.5% of her salary to a retirement program (with her only having to contribute 5%)
3) Tuition reimbursement for dependent children to ANY school up to the cost of admission to VWC!!!! Plus tuition reimbursement for herself and her spouse (me!!) to any VWC course.
So I am thinking about going and getting another degree.
To answer the question before you ask… here is the link to other positions they are trying to fill.
She is going to continue with EVMS until she gets more details, but for now she is leaning toward staying with VWC. It is the less risky option, since she already knows what it is like to work with the people she will be working with. Plus, given the benefits, the VWC offer is superior.
