The first thing... We got married! We tied the knot May 14, 2016 (almost three years ago now... yikes! Time flies!). To all of our friends, this is of course old news, but if you only know us from this blog it is news to you! So... Yay! We accept your (belated) congratulations ;)
On the work front, Michael got his PhD in astronomy from the University of Washington in the summer of 2017 and the Tremmpleton's moved across the country to New Haven, Connecticut so that he could start a postdoc at Yale. He is still working on simulating galaxies and studying supermassive black holes, so not much has changed in that regard except for location and quite a bit more travel.
Carrie is working on (and nearly done!) getting her Master's degree in Learning Design & Technology, which she is doing online through Purdue. Carrie has also made a big career change, moving from managing restaurants to full time instructional designer, combining her passion for training and teaching with her design skills. She is working for Aware Recovery Care, an in-home addiction recovery service (or ARC for short) based in Connecticut. ARC is a small, but rapidly expanding company and Carrie has been an integral part of their team these past few months, helping revamp their training materials.
Banjo is happy, healthy, and has a recent addition to his wardrobe: a super handsome bowtie!
With so much going on in our lives these past few years, we sort of let this blog go by the wayside... but no more! We are back! Expect more posts about boardgames, as well as book reviews, recipes, travels, and whatever fun stuff/projects we get into. Hope you'll join us!
