Taste of Philly

This week was restaurant week in Philadelphia so we got to try out a few different restaurants. Our first night we went to Valanni, a mediterranean/latin tapas restaurant. It was fabulous! The baked brie we got was the best I've ever tasted. It had pears and cherries in it, and was the perfect consistency. Alex said that while he was eating it he was having fireworks going off in his head (those of you who've seen Ratatouille will know what he's talking about).

We also ate at Jake's, a restaurant close to our home that "unofficially" participates in restaurant week. And last night we hit the City Tavern with Natalie, Marc, MaryAnn and Sam. The atmosphere is kind of fun because everyone is dressed in period clothing, and we had a man come around and speak with us a little and then he sang us a song. I have to say that the company was the best part about the evening, though.

I'm excited to say that I will be starting my new job on Monday! I'll be working at SAP, a business software company that's headquartered in Germany. I'll be at the Americas headquarters in the global HR department. It's funny because I was having such a hard time pinning down exactly what it was I wanted to do, and then when this job appeared I knew it was perfect for me. I get to do the global aspect (which is what I loved the most about my job at the Church), the HR aspect, and I will be doing it at a well-known, respected company. The other great thing about the company is that they are all about social responsibility, and they're building a LEED certified campus (which basically means that everything will be environmentally friendly).

My official title is Global Mobility Process Advisor, and I'll be working on relocations of employees all around the world. I'm excited because I get to work on VISAs, taxes, logistics, and everything in between when it comes to relocating somebody. Wish me luck!
