Where have we been lately? Well....

We have been underwater, of course! We are now far past where we were a year ago.  We are completing our Rescue Diver certification course this weekend.  Next up, Divemaster.  After that, well, I think we might just enjoy the diving.

We've been working!  I am settling well into my full time position at Amgen, learning lots about process development and engineering.  It's been a big change, but it has gotten better and better with time.  Jay has made the biggest move of all this year in regards to working.  He left Ricoh in January, one week after my position started at Amgen.  He's been a freelance writer and photographer ever since, and amazing me with how hard he can work at home.  The boy has focus, that's for sure.

We have been enjoying life in the suburbs!  Since our move to Thousand Oaks in December of 2011, things have been very quiet.  We are living in a two bedroom townhouse with wonderful cathedral ceilings, a courtyard complete with water fountain and catnip garden, and a big back patio.  It is a beautiful, relaxing place for us, and for Meow.

We have been traveling!  We've been to Cozumel, Mexico for a dive trip organized by the TO Dive Club.  We've been to the central coast and Ojai.  We've been to Las Vegas.  Of course, we've also been back to Georgia to see family.

We have been house hunting!  And now, finally, we may have found the One.  Our new home in Thousand Oaks, Casa de Hall.  Stay tuned....
