Tim's new role

So, yesterday after almost 12 years at Surgard/DSC, Tim gave his 2 weeks notice. He has been offered a job at RIM (maker of the Blackberry) and will be starting there in a few weeks. Of course, DSC will always hold a special place in his heart as it was his first and only job out of college and it is where he met me, but he's really excited about his new job. His title remains almost the same -- Embedded Systems Software Developer. The location is in Mississauga so it will be a shorter commute for him which is definitely a bonus. We are so thankful that he found this opportunity!

Yesterday we had a fun day. I brought the kids out to Alicia's Backyard (indoor playland) in the morning for a few hours on a playdate. Then in the afternoon we headed to the park for more fun. We are excited it is the weekend. Melissa, Mike and kids are coming over later and this morning we are headed to the market to pick up some fresh berries. I just have to wait for everyone to wake up as I'm the only one awake right now (6:30am).

I'm off to sip my coffee now!

Congratulations to Tim and your whole family - sounds like a great opportunity (and of course, I always love my fellow geeks :O) )
