Welcome back...

Wow, I guess I needed that 2 month break to get acclimated to my work commute or something!  I'm definitely going back to my goal of posting at least 2 times per month now that we're settled!  Let's play some catch up now...

My last post detailed my love of snorkeling in Hawaii, but I am proud to announce that I have a new favorite hobby: DIVING! Michael and I both got our SCUBA certification:

Us with our instructor and our class mates right after we passed our open water dive at electric beach.

It was an intense class and VERY time consuming! For a whole week, we had to go to class after work from 6-10pm. There were three days of class room instruction and two days pool instruction doing skills. Then, on Saturday and Sunday, we had to do an open water ocean swim and assessment from 7am-12pm both days. It was exhausting! But in the end, we had so much fun and Michael and I were glad that we completed the whole thing.

We ended up going diving with our relator and his friend the next weekend! Here are some pictures of diving at Sharks Cove (sharks cove was awesome by the way because there are lots of underwater caves to explore)!

It was WAY fun! And it just amplified my love of the water and exploring! We can't wait to go again... now we just have to commit and invest in our own gear :)
