NEW HOUSE

I should be packing boxes or organizing drawers or something productive. Instead I am rationalizing that the washer is running, so I AM getting something done, and I am sitting to blog instead.

I have crossed another line in my heart. We are buying our first home in Mexico. We are settling right down here. For so long I anticipated returning to the states any minute, and instead We are buying a house here and laying down some roots. I feel really good about it. My peaceful heart is evidence that I have traveled through much territory in my own soul. Here we go.

Mexican life has become comfortable for us. Eva is becoming super bilingual. She loves her school, and her friends on our street. Sam is about to walk. He is standing up by himself and so proud of it whenever he does it. He is a happy boy. We are a happy family. Living a peaceful exsistence that we never expected.

Our sights still gaze toward the north, and someday we will go back, but in the mean time we are celebrating what will soon be our very own house in Mexico.

Before purchasing a property, primarily secure that you have enough source of income. Be certain that you have sufficient funds on a long-term basis to insure that you'll be capable of paying your monthly amortization.

Yah, who in the heck is Peter and what makes him think that you HAVEN'T thought about the long term effects and benefits of buying a house? I know that the rest of the world is in mortgage trouble, BUT YOU'RE NOT LIKE THE REST OF THE WORLD.
