Thanks to the other Lisa, I'm posting again...

So I have been given the push to post again by one of the best bloggers I know, thanks Lisa M.!

It's been awhile so there's been quite a lot that has happened. Here's the quick 5 second update: I have my husband back, I've changed jobs, I've moved, and I am incredibly happy. I have shed the job and stress that was making me so miserable and have been able to let go of the responsibility and pressure of a life consuming career.

Its amazing how change can open your eyes to a whole new world an give you a new sense of being. San Diego has been a great experience for both Brent and I - though we have been the poorest we have been since we got married. But through the financial crisis, I find that I am happier now than I have been in a long time.

San Diego offers all kinds of things that we can do on a budget - my favorite is a day at the beach. I have gone and sat on the sand and read while Brent surfs. I have collected sea shells and played in the waves with friends and family. I have had a fun afternoon of picnic food and chasing seagulls. I have listened to Brent play guitar next to a bonfire while we roast marshmallows and make s'mores. I have spent a day exploring the wonders of the tidepools. I feel good at the beach... and its free.
