What the grown ups have been up to

Okay, I know this blog tends to be heavy on the Caitlyn posts. But really, she runs the show around here and I know the three of you that read this really just want to see pictures of her :) However, I thought I would fill you in on what Eric and I have been up to the past few weeks.

Eric is so close to finishing PA school. After his final two tests today he is on break for 2 1/2 weeks. Then he has a week of Board Review and a practice Board Exam and then he is done! Graduation is on December 17th and then he will take his Board Exam the second week of January. Caitlyn and I are so proud of him for finishing strong and working so hard. He has started the job search, focusing primarily on jobs with Orthopedic surgeons, and has had a couple of interviews. We are still trying to figure out where we should live. Eric's only real requirements are a warm place where he can maintain a fun lifestyle, enjoy his hobbies (basketball, biking, hiking, skiing, snowboarding, wakeboarding, scubadiving, kayaking, etc.) and have an awesome job. Not asking much, is he? :) I don't know where a land exists where he can do all of this...maybe California? Anyway, we shall see. Here are a couple of recent pics of Eric and his hobbies.

Me getting in on the batting cages fun.

I've been pretty busy these days as well. About a month ago I started working part-time from home for Tampa St. Pete Kids Club researching events in the area for their calendar and helping with some marketing and promotions. It has been a good experience because now I know all of the fun things going on in the area!

I also just completed a 5-week NAUI scuba diving course. I loved it and am so glad Eric talked me into it. Now we just need to plan a dive trip.

This is Blue Grotto where I did my last open water dive for my certification. This guy bought a home and some land in central Florida and after he moved in this huge sinkhole opened up in his backyard about 70 ft. from his house. So, he took advantage and opened it as a dive spot. So random. I went down 87 ft. underwater but it goes much down much deeper.

And lastly I have been working on our end of the year Stake Primary Book of Mormon celebration. I got to speak in stake conference last month about it and work with the stake primary presidency on all of the preparations. It turned out great!
