1st Update of Stateside

We have a lot of news!
M is hard at work, waking up at ungodly hours in the morning to get there and coming home too late. She bought a bike with the best intentions of riding there, but it's too crazy hot. So S chauffeurs her around, which she doesn't seem to mind. S, on the other hand, wakes up just a little later than M, and drops her off and picks her up, while doing awesomeness in between.

Both S and M have been working on the yoga business, more S than M. S with a little help from our Vancouver friend R, have the website (www.rollingwithmyyogis.com) nearly all set up. S has been attending yoga classes like nobody's business, even up to 3 a day to build "community".
Because of his more than regular attendance, he has a teaching gig this Thursday at Be Yoga at 2pm.

That and we have Saturday Sunrise Yoga at 7:30am at Central Park. So you're probably thinking New York's Central Park, but it's nowhere near! The big park in Austin is Zilker, and it's in the southern part of the city. Central Park is a small park between condos and Central Market (kind of like Whole Foods) with a pond. 2 people showed up on Saturday. I know, 2 people, really?! but YES! 2 people showed up, that's 2 more than what we were expecting. Next Saturday, we're aiming for 3?4??

So we're going home for Christmas, since it's been 4 years since we've spent Christmas time with our family. We're both looking forward to it in our own way. We alluded to the isolation we felt in London from some of our family members, and the fear of the same situation happening in Vancouver. Well, it's the exact same situation here. Granted, we have both fallen off the face of the planet for some time, this time, M more than S, but still trying really hard to keep in touch with everyone.
So let us take this opportunity to publicly let you know that if we haven't talked to you in a while; but if we've stayed at your house, had dinner with you, went for a walk with you, hung out and had beers with you, we love you, we miss you, and we can't wait to see you.

Stay Grounded
S and M
