Flat Chat

June has been such a busy month for us and it apparently flew by before we had a chance to do anything about it! On the work front Josh has ccontinued to settle into his new role and Kristi has been dealing with the aftermath of the Arana move - as we know, just because we made it through the actual move doesn't mean we're home free yet ;) Kristi's colleagues thanked her for her work in the fit out/move with this beautiful flower arrangement (along with a bottle of wine and a voucher for a massage, which she can't wait to use)! She was also fortunate to make some wonderful new friends in this move process, and had a celebratory 'We're Almost There...' girl's night out with the architect/interior designer (Virginie - left) and the furniture supplier (Odette - right) at Gingerboy last Thursday.

Outside of work we have both been spending many hours studying over the past weeks...Josh's WSET exam is this coming Monday (fingers crossed it goes well), and Kristi is happy to report that she passed her first practical massage exam and now is ready to provide relaxation massage services to anyone who is happy to be a practice dummy! Now she is on to athletic massage, learning all about pre-race, post-race and maintenance massage for athletes.

Besides work and study we have managed to fit in time to catch up with friends - many folks are off on holidays now so it was fun to touch base before they departed. And of course we've made time for a couple of new movies, most recently Ironman and Prince Caspian, and we can't wait for the release of Kung Fu Panda this week! It has been great to be so close to a nice movie theater (and it's an extra bonus that now Kristi can get in at student prices!)
