Karl’s friends had a surprise happy hour party for him on Wednesday, while many of them were in town for training. Karl thought he was going to grab drinks for an hour with Mark Parker and Lila. Meanwhile, ~30 Intel friends gathered at Faultline to wish him a happy deportation.
On Thursday, Lila kicked off the Santa Clara Women at Intel's 2008 speaker session with a 45 minute speech, followed by Q&A. Karl showed up in the audience - much to Lila's surprise. The first question dealt with balancing work and family life. After a brief response, Lila called on Karl to answer. That will teach him to show up at Lila's talks!
The big news of the week, however, was that reality hit. What were we thinking...agreeing to move to China?! We just got married. We just bought a house. We're finally settling into somewhat of a routine. Who will live in our house and buy our cars? How will we make new friends, learn a new culture/language/city, and adjust to living overseas? Lila's been through it before, but it's definitely different being older, more set in her ways, a home-owner, and wife. There's so much to do in the next few weeks....
