Well, Fraser and I have both had some excitement on the job front.
Fraser has been offered and has accepted the position of President and CEO of Pacific Suites - a product he has been working on for some time. I am super excited for him. What a great oppertunity!!!
On my end I have been offered and have accepted a Program Manager position with Microsoft .. also very exciting! I have 4 days left here at Bates Private Capital and then start at Microsoft on the 28th.
These new positions both require a move to Seattle - everything is falling into place very nicely!!

Nova Scotia Land?
Well, we have been talking about buying land and looking at land for quite some time now. Originally we started looking in Costa Rica but the crazy California mind-set has made it's way south and the prices in Costa Rica are too steep for the likes of us.
We want a large tract of land that we can develop into our own personal paradise - and to share this paradise with others. Trails of course. Loads and loads of trails. Land with a lake and close to or on the Ocean would be perfect.
My brother and his wife are also seeking the same type of land. Our roots (grew up in NS) and our budget led us to look at land in Nova Scotia. The prices are reasonable and there are several large tracts of land that meet our criteria. Above is a photo of one of the peices of land we looked at.

Costa Rica - The Surf!
The surfing in Santa Theresa is amazing but unforgiving. I spent the first two days getting tossed and tumbled by the waves. I lost a contact, got a major jelly sting across both eyes, and generally got really beat up.
By the third day Frase and I were starting to have fun. Jonathan and Caralee had arrived a week earlier and were already showing off their turns so we were pretty excited to be getting some turns of our own. We even bought our own surfboards ... I'll post a pic soon, I promise! We brought the surfboards back to the West Coast ... all we need now are wetsuits!! Surfing is good cross-training for mountain biking, right?

All I know is that my upper body was exhausted after about 20 minutes of trying to paddle out through the waves to catch a wave .. by the end of the time in CR i was feeling much more comfortable in the water. Surfing is hard work - the bigger the waves, the harder it is to paddle out.
