It's DONE! I turn over the keys to the house tomorrow...YES...THE HOUSE IS SOLD! We are beyond excited. We have already moved into our new apartment...RIGHT ACROSS FROM THE BEACH. Yeah, it's awesome! The entire process went very smoothly, and we are adapting quickly. Maia and Adam are both thoroughly enjoying the air conditioning that comes with the new place. I am just enjoying the significantly less space there is to clean, and no yard to maintain. I am telling you, avoid buying a place until you are ready to settle down and have kids...it's just not worth the time and effort, when you could be doing so many more awesome things with your time. I will post some pictures once I have our new iMac figured out...GOD bear with me dealing with the new machine...going from PC to Mac is painful, but it is SO much prettier.
The most exciting bit...Adam and I took our free-diving course this past weekend and it was *A*W*E*S*O*M*E*!!!!! I was originally only suppose to do the 2-day beginner course, but when they separated the two groups and tried to teach me how to snorkel, I was done, and transferred over to Adam's course. I AM SO GLAD I DID! We maxed out on our breath holds: Adam at 4:05 minutes, and me at 3:05 minutes...crazy awesome right?!?! And then our free-diving...Adam hit 102ft down on 1 breath, and I hit 83ft. I am still high on the feeling of it! You just can't even imagine the feeling...and I am HOOKED. I also got to borrow some carbon fiber longblade fins for the course, from one of Adam's WONDERFUL dive buddies...it ROCKED! Turns out that I am better at dolphin kick than anything, so I have my eye on some mono-fins...it just really sucks that I am about to bump up to clinical 2 days a week, because now I am HOOKED and want to do this all of the time now. So Adam's new goal is 110ft, and I want to break 100ft...and I really want to travel around the world and do this.
Check out this link about our course...we worked a lot with Mandy (a world-record holder) and Kirk (the trainer):

We are eagerly anticipating our visit from Tab and Brandon in 3 weeks...we are both taking some time off from work, so it is going to be a FANTASTIC time. It will actually be our first break together since we went home last October.
I hope this finds everyone having a great time...we love and miss you all SO much!!!
