long time, no see

it's been a while. we've been quite busy with work and entertaining guests, but i guess that's no excuse for such a long break from the blog.  angie's been working hard recruiting and getting clients for her job at manulife.  she's also studying hard for her cfp and cfa tests that are coming up. tyler has stayed busy working for laureate education and obsessing w/ doing research for some of his business ideas - hopefully one will come through sometime. he's also decided to study with angie for the cfa and plans on taking the test with her in december. i guess we'll find out who's the smart one (angie).

in exciting news...we are now certified advanced scuba divers. we completed our course this past weekend by doing 3 dives in hong kong, one of which was a night dive where we saw a lot of crabs and sleeping fish.  in our course we learned about deep diving, boat diving, wreck diving, night diving, bouyancy, and underwater navigation. we're heading to kota kinabalu in sabah, malaysia tomorrow and will hopefully get the chance to do some dives and maybe even see some sharks, barracudas, marble rays, and other underwater creatures. should be exciting. will post pictures when we return.
