Puerto Rico - it was rough few days in Rincon

It already seems like forever ago... March brought a serious bad attitude as a result of never ending weather and so we ended up in Puerto Rico, it was awesome. We flew into San Juan, rented a car and drove to Rincon. It was dark by the time we made it to Rincon and the streets are seriously jacked up... no luck finding our hotel. After what felt like hours of searching and pure fustration we ended up with a police escort... which still makes me giggle, Matt's biggest concern was whether or not we had to tip the policia, wouldn't that be bribery? My only concern was to start my vaca with a beer as soon as possible. anyhow, Rincon is a small, sleepy surfing town on the West side of the island. The place we stayed at was awesome, small little guest hotel, maybe 5 rooms, with a full kitchen and private deck that was directly on the water. A few days before we arrived Rincon expierenced a massive swell "biggest waves we've seen since '68", which brought crazy-ass surfers, literally 25 foot waves and then some, surfers were towed out by jet ski, cars were lined up and down the road with people watching, taking pictures, video taping, none the less it made for good entertainment. There isn't much to do in Rincon which was exactly what we wanted... by day - hidden beach exploring and by night - the biggest event was figuring out how the hell to play with an Spanish card deck ohhh that and listenin to the waves, soakin a sunburn, drinkin a Corona and contemplating Jack Johnson or Bob Marley. all in all it made for a tough couple of days.........

Us...Five! Five-a-Live!

Seriously. five. it's a big number. Okay. this year, there's no tellin', well maybe some tellin' since it's already May... Here's what I do know and the rest well it's all a big ole' question mark. Year five will inevitably bring change, career change! yay! attitude change! yay! I've been waiting. it's finally here. now Raybill... Matt scored our first investment property. and a tv show to boot (note: tv show used generously). watch for it peeps. It's going to be huge ;)

Us... cuatro ano

I really have no idea where this year will lead us. All starts with our biggest vacation yet... Thailand. And then from there who knows? We have (or should I say I have) been searching for a project maybe landlords, maybe a new fantastic job, maybe entrepuer, maybe a new house. Crystal ball anyone?

Us... On to year three.

Most exciting thing in our life... No more school! No more school! Well at least for me. Matt may think differently, like I told him vacation is on for me, over for him ;) Not quite sure how I will fill my time yet, we all know I don't do relaxation well, and the first two weeks have been interesting, a visit to NYC, re-sodding the lawn for the second time, planting the garden, a craiglist's garage sale, etc.

Us... Year 2

Year 2 of marriage. As Matt would say this is the year of being "young professionals"... Matt went independent in August and we are trying to figure out how to adjust to "tax-free" checks. It makes me a little nervous but Matt, the ever adivsor, says it is just fine. I just started my new job at ConAgra Foods, quite a change from industrial automation. Oh and there's school... never ending school. Someday, I will be done, right? With the house projects near completion, Matt traded smoking for a new boat. (I think he cheats by having a beer just to justify a smoke, but I secretly cannot bring myself to sell the boat - Sonny likes it too much) And then there is Sonny, 100 pounds and spoiled. He continues to rule the house.
