Mexico

We have had so many questions about our move to Mexico, I thought I would try and answer some. First, neither Tyler nor I speak spanish, but we are really excited to learn it. We both took two years in highschool & hope that it will come back a little. The kids will go to a private American school. The classes are half english and half spanish, so they will pick it up in a matter of weeks. Saltillo has a lot of expatriots (that is what they call foreign executives working down there). By the way, I hate the name too. So there are quite a few people who speak english. We have already met with some members of our church down there and La-Z-Boy has a company helping us with packing, moving, unpacking, and anything and everything else we can imagine. Pictured below is the house we will be renting and a picture of part of the backyard. It is a little smaller than the one we are in now, but it has a pool and the trampoline will fit too. Plus we will still have room for a big swingset (you know the ones from Costco) and it has a built in BBQ and patio. As you can see, we are using anything we can, to get the kids pysched about going. This home is in a little gated community called Villa Bonita. It has a security guard at the gate 24 hours a day. There are quite a few expatriots living in this neighborhood in particular. In fact, one of our neighbors is from Georgia.

Tyler and I are really, really excited about our adventure. We know there will be hard times as we adjust to a new culture, but we will deal with that when we get there. As for saying goodbye to our families, well, just saying it makes my stomach hurt. We have been so blessed to live by both our families, I dont even want to imagine having to say goodbye. --Oh gosh, let's talk about something else. Did I mention that the house has a pool?
