Friday Night Poker

Last night Dustin and I had played a mighty game of Poker at our house...Dustin almost won the whole pot but our buddy flipped an Ace on the river. Win or Lose it was fun by all.
Costa Rica is great at the moment...the afternoon showers are coming, cooling down the air, calming the dust and little sprouts of green are very where. For the next week all the fields will be full of millions of huge lightning bugs! Its an amazing sight.
This week Dustin accepted a PE teaching position for the rest of the year at the Gringo School and it looks promising for next year...keep your fingers crossed. Best part is he still get to dip into the real estate too.
I'm working hard on developing a master plan for the yoga retreat and smoothing out details for the big day in July. Karmen is good....growing every moment...more pics to follow.
Pura Vida Kim and Dustin

Its Raining

The rain started yesterday but this afternoon the giant Costa Rican drops really fell! It feels fabulous!

CU Reunion Pura Vida Style

Last month a few college buddies wandered down this way and we tried our best to show them a good time...by now you know the routine, beach, sailing, canopy tours in the mountains and did I forget to mention cervesa? It was a good time by all...

A Trip South

Some time in March we grabbed Karmen and headed south to meet a friend. We had a good time at the local beach bar the first night and I found myself perfectly comfortable under a palm tree all the next day while the guys toured around for Real Estate and played in the Surf. The next day we all headed North to Nosara to check out the waves and visit the local yoga school. I was very pleased with the yoga school and have decide to attend the session in November to become a certified instructor!

Nick and Norella Roll Into Town

In December a couple of cool cats rolled into Playa Flamingo and we'll never be the same again. Bar hopping, sailing and a bunch of beach time....what more can i say.
We Love ya Nick and Norella

5 Month Summary

Well its well past Thanksgiving and I'm sure many people are wondering "dondeestanmisamigos?"
So lets do a small catch up and I promise to be better about the blog!
After our fabulous turkey day we had some visitors...my daddy, great Seattle friends (Nick and Norella) and of course the Shull family for Christmas. We all did the tourist thing and drank too much and of course it was a blast as always. The new year rung in with some exciting possibilities which have since turned in to amazing realities. First, we moved into a huge house in the foothills of Flamingo and star gaze every night without a light in sight! Second, I purchased land with my dad in Playa Grande to build and yoga/surf retreat with extras like massage, acupuncture, and possibly spa treatments! At the moment we are working with an architect on the master plan before we break ground :) Third, Dustin has begun coaching at the local gringo High school and is hoping to land a permanent teaching/coaching position! Finally we have a new addition to the family, her name is Karmen, long for Karma and she is absolutely precious...can't you tell!
