Big news…I’m moving to North Carolina. I have accepted a position as a Software Development Engineer with Network Appliance, Inc. (Netapp). It sounds like a very exciting and challenging job, and I think I will enjoy it a lot. Nonetheless, it was a very tough decision to leave IBM. IBM is a great company, and I am really going to miss the people here. I just think that this position meets my long-term goals better. My last official day at IBM is September 30, 2005.
I’ve only been to North Carolina once, and that was a few weeks ago when I interviewed. I’m not sure what to expect, but I know it will be much different than Arizona (Really?). I suppose I’ll have to get used to the humidity, the cold weather, and possibly even hurricanes and ice storms.
Congratulations on your new job! I’m going to miss you! North Carolina is a little further drive than Tucson heehee. You’ll have to give me your address so me and Clay can come visit someday. Again, congratulations. I’m very proud of you!!!
Thanks Kara! I’m looking forward to it…I know it’s a further drive, but of course, we’ll still work something out.
PROPS Mr. Big Stuff.
At least you know you will have a good friend there to hang out with and make you laugh and kick back and show you around D.C. Safe travels. Can’t wait to come visit. 
You guys keep moving I will get to travel all over and have free tour guides. 
hehe. Blessings
Thanks Dr. Patton! With you being a rich doctor, you’ll have to come visit us quite often.
