Hey Friends!!! Long time no blog you say? We’ll things have been a little busy over at the Madej’s. Here is quick update on where we are, what we’re up to and what’s next!
Almost a year ago we added the most beautiful, fun spirited Mini Madej to our family, Emerson Ray Madej. Her birthday is June 10, 2018 and this had been the most amazing year with her. She is happy all the time. Her smile is infectious and we are obsessed. Watching her grow up is a joy! Her favorite toy is a remote. Yes, you read that correctly. Not a play toy remote, any real remote but especially the small apple TV remote that goes missing on the daily. Her favorite food is crab. I swear she will be the three year old that refuses to order off the kids menu and asks for the crab cake dinner instead. She can walk but chooses not too for the time being. I personally feel like she has the brain of a little engineer. She realizes crawling is far more efficient. She also really loves to figure out how and why things work the way they do. I like to say she is determined. She gets that from Mr. Madej. She is a sleeping queen! 7pm-7am daily! We had to suffer through the the few common sleep regressions but our nightly routine of bath, bottle, book bed has worked wonders! Plus the baby hatch sound machine. Go buy this if you don’t have it already :) More on Emerson in future posts but thought our blog followers deserved a small update for now!
Our lives are crazy hectic with Mr. Madej working full time and pursuing his Masters in Data Science from Northwestern University. The degree is 12 courses. As of June 10th we are 8 classes down and have 4 to go! We are hoping to have a degree in hand by the end of 2019! I say “we” because this is a total team effort. We are so proud of him for balancing work, our family and school all at the same time and keeping up a 4.0 at such a prestigious school. But let’s be honest…. some Madej’s (cough, cough…me) are VERY excited for graduation!!
I have also made some big career moves the past few months. I’m officially running my largest solo project of $50M+ for a very large DC metro Developer, JBG Smith. What’s the project you might ask? Well….. it’s Amazon’s new East Coast headquarters which will be the new home for over 1,500 employees! It is an absolute honor to be working on such an amazing project for my favorite client and for such an awesome and news worthy tenant. The site location is National Landing, the old Crystal City, VA south of the Pentagon. My commute is very rough from Annapolis to DC daily, but this project is worth it and hopefully is a great step in the right direction for my construction project management career.
And now what you have all come to find out… where’s the update on all the home project’s we have been teasing on Insta?! We’ll they are coming soon! Some posts have already been drafted and are ready to go! We can’t wait to get everyone up to speed!
Spread the Love and Dream Big,
The Madejs
