Arriving in Costa Rica.

Hope, Caitlen and me on our way to the village of Nosara.

On our way to dinner at Giardino Tropicale.
Who knew you could find fabulous Italian pasta
and wood-fired pizza in Costa Rica?

Adventures in Costa Rica!

So far the trip has been FANTASTIC!!! Our schedule is as follows: get up, hit the beach, hit the pool, eat lunch, back to the beach, then lay in the hammocks - take a nap, then dinner and maybe the pool again. This is what I call VACATION!!! This morning we switched up our schedule to go zipping through the jungle on a canopy tour. WOW. Never in my life did I think I´d be doing something to crazy! Here´s a pic of us suited up in our gear. We´re so cute, aren´t we?! Haha. Great times, though, and breathtaking views.

A Tale of Two Weeks

I know. I know. I've been a slacker by ignoring the blog for a couple of weeks now. While last week was one big, stressful blur, here are a few highlights:
- extended job offer #1 to explore options #2 and #3
- ate most of the junk in our jammed-full freezer!
- decided I would not be going with Jamie to DC this time :(
- scheduled more interviews
- rethought my career choice
- got a total of -5 hours of sleep
- vacuumed every room in the house
- celebrated my sister's 21st birthday (in spirit)
- took Jamie to the airport
- finally used our Olive Garden gift card!! yummm

Good news, though. This week is looking much better:
- hoping to get job offer #2
- can't wait for Jamie to come home on Wednesday!
- need to get packed for Costa Rica!
- planning to take in a fireworks extravaganza in UNC's Kenan Stadium!
- leaving Saturday at 11:22am for some much needed pura vida in Costa Rica!!!
