Going Nomad

Just letting my 3 readers know that I’ve started a new blog to document my husband and I “moving to the world” 🙂  I’ll still post other things on this blog… maybe less sporadically once I don’t have a household to manage! But if you’re interested in seeing the world with us (and seeing if things…

SharePoint Saturday DC – Reston 2014

Once again, the SPSDC organizers put on a great event this past weekend! I attended this time as a speaker and also as a vendor, both of which I enjoyed very much.
