I'm Back... in more ways than one

So I am back to Utah. We left Martinez on March 1 and drove 40 hours through the long and windy bumpy pot hole filled roads of mexico to the border town, Ciudad Juarez. My Father in law got his visa, lucky bastard, ( I mean.... good for him.) Justino looked around and found a job in Juarez while we were there. The pay is crap but it is more than he found in Martinez so he is there. Senator Hatch claims that he is working on helping Justino get a job at the American Embassy in Juarez, which would be GREAT, way better pay, good hours, the works. So we will see how that turns out in the next week or so. Can't say I love Juarez, crime filled, ugly desert armpit, but with a job and a ten minute drive to El Paso, we might take it, for a while at least. Also nice that there is a direct hour and a half flight to Salt Lake, so close for visiting purposes. Also we don't have to have a permit from the Mexican Government to keep our truck there, so that is another perk. Jusitno is there, and missing us, and we are here missing him, and hoping to be back together as soon as I can get an ultrasound here, and make sure the bun in the oven is cooking like it should. I am back to a computer after a long time. Our hard drive crashed a few days before we left Martinez, which SUCKED! But some little genious there fixed it for us, and we are up and running again. Eva is back to adequate pediatric care, and gartefully so since she has Giardia. Apparently, despite all my vigalnt efforts to make sure she didn't get any mexican bath water in her mouth she found a way to drink enough while I wasn't looking. Can't say I am surprised, she always tried to take a swill while bailing water out of her bucket. So that is another priority before we head south again, getting her belly bacteria free. Mostly, back to the reality that not any amount of soft beds, baked goods, books, carpeted floors, clean water, or paved roads are worth separating our family. Too bad the US government doesn't understand that.
