We have some news!

So... last week Curt got an offer to go work for Baker Hughes in The Woodlands, so we will be making the move to Houston! It was a really sudden happening, but he's had his feelers out for awhile though not actively pursuing. We are so excited about what this move will mean for his career, and it's for an amazing job with an awesome company that we both hold very highly... so he'll be starting there in July, and I'll be staying up here to finish up my project and coming behind him when that happens. In the meantime I'll be trying to get the house ready and keeping it clean while I'm up here so that hopefully it won't take too long to sell. So we'll see - going to be a lot happening here in the next month but it's exciting for us so it will be great! I do get *really* sad when I think about having to leave our house and the area, b/c we really have made so many wonderful friends here and it will be hard to leave this life we've built here behind...

Anyway, thought I should share the news!

We are excited about another new development, too, as a result of this - we are taking a quick vacation over the July 4th weekend! We booked a trip to Playa Del Carmen so we could scuba dive away so that Curt could have a mental break before beginning his new job, so that will be a BLAST and satisfy some of our scuba cravings. We're going to dive the Cenotes and do a night dive as well - I had just better see a turtle, though, because we didn't see ANY in the Bahamas! So we'll let you know! Here's a couple pictures of the Cenotes (not my picture - from the web)... these are like shallow caves and were formed from running water, so there are a series of them. Those of you who know me that I am a little antsy about cave diving, so this is really the best place to start as there is ALWAYS a way out to the surface which is my condition on anything in life, not just diving! :-)

So we are very excited about our upcoming adventures... we're of course pysched for the trip, and we're very proud of our spontaneous booking (though don't worry, we did our research!) and deals that we got for it... now Curt will just have to find out if he can come to Europe with me this fall!

Hope everyone is having a great day -

xx!
