Sorry, we aren’t all that great at updating this page… We are trying..
We officially made the move to Mexico on November 5th and were there for 5 weeks working on our visas, getting furniture, making friends, exploring and just enjoying our time there.
We managed to get our place almost fully furnished thanks to some great sales, especially Buen Fin. Buen Fin is the best time to buy anything in Mexico, every store has their products on sale for deep discounts. It’s the equivalent of “Black Friday”. We were able to stretch our funds significantly by buying at this time of year. I wish I could say we planned this but it just happen to be a happy coincidence.
We hired a company to screen in our main deck so we can turn that into our “dining area” and free up some space in our condo. We commissioned a few items for the condo, like more cabinets, wine rack, shelving and a bar to be built but those items aren’t completed yet. Keith was most excited to furnish our top deck, just in time for our first pizza party with 20 of our neighbors!!
The people here have been amazing and we have met so many great friends – we feel very thankful to be doing this. To say we are in love with our new home is an understatement.
At the end of the 5 weeks we had to fly back to the US where we spent the holidays with family, went on a cruise to the Caribbean (that Keith won last year) and are now preparing for another cruise to Fiji.
Currently we are still in FL, where it is ridiculously cold! We are very fortunate to have so many great travels ahead of us but we are very excited to finally get to cross Fiji off our travel list. It’s funny really… We are heading to this amazing part of the world that we have both wanted to go to yet we are anxious to get back to Mexico. We miss it terribly!! It feels silly to complain but the reality is we are so in love with our new home that it makes all these other places pale in comparison… Nevertheless, we are thankful for the opportunities given to us and will go and enjoy ourselves.
Mexico, we miss you. We will see you at the end of January… Just in time for me to turn 41.
