Pinback & More Interviews

Hi all, so we have had a pretty fabulous week.

First of all Matt had a fly-out interview to San Jose for PWC and was wined and dined by the office there. He got to meet several professionals and had 3 behavioral interviews. He was offered an internship position within 24 hours. Whoop whoop! We are so happy and relieved to know that there is at least one option on the table already.

Matt came home Tuesday from San Jose for another fly-out interview with Ernst & Young. This interview was going to be more of a challenge since he not only had to do 2 behavioral interviews but also a 45 minute case study and a 45 minute writing sample.

We don't yet know what our exact plans will be - whether Keri will go out with Matt or not - and we probably won't decide until we find out in May whether Matt gets into the Master's Program. But Keri is looking forward to the possibility as we will be so much closer to her family in Fairfield.

We went and saw Matt's favorite band, Pinback, on Saturday night with his friend Derek and had a great time. Keri had not heard the band before but they were pretty good - similar to Coldplay or The Postal Service. I was amazed at how different and so low-key the concert was compared to my pop concerts. There's a couple pics below of some of the band, including the lead singer who looked like he was wearing clothes he picked up off of his floor - and my favorite ... mismatched Christmas socks. That would never fly with my peeps! :)

Beyond that, Keri's work load has slowed down and she is finding more time to devote to reading, friends, and our home. Matt decided on Sunday that he wanted a say in our decorating. So we spent Sunday afternoon with Matt running around the house pulling off picture frames and trying to relocate them or put them away and Keri chasing after him to fix them. Don't worry, I put the smack down and gave him a corner to exercise his own creative control :)

Happy Veterans Day to Barry Adams (Keri's Dad) who will be proudly marching in the local Fairfield parade with his Veteran's of Foreign Wars crew. Well actually - as my dad is the only one still able to walk, he will be walking alone and the others will be riding behind in a car. Too bad we're going to miss that sight!
