New Years in Mx

         OK so it looks like I will be joining Javier in Jalisco for New Years!!! I am so Excited I have not seen him months and I cant wait to be with him and his family. I have been so busy trying to figure out all the things I need to do to travel to Mexico. I already have a passport but I am trying to get my Tourist Visa also. We will be driving from TJ and enjoying a road trip all the way to his home in Jalisco. Javier said that it takes at least 20 hours to get there so we will see how many things can happen along the way.

      Meanwhile back here in the states I have been trying to rent out my house, but I have not been having much luck. So unfortunately I will be returning after a couple of weeks down in Mexico. This just means, me totally moving all of my stuff down there will have to wait a little bit longer. We also have two dogs that have been with me all these months since Javier has been gone and I really wanted to bring them with me, but I don't know if that is an option.
                                                                                                                           
                 

If not that is just another thing i will have to add to the list of all that needs to be done before moving. We will just have to see how things play out in the next couple of
weeks. No matter what happens though I am just going to try and stay positive which is one thing I have been trying to change about myself. I am usually not an optimistic person! That is one of the great things Javier has brought into my life.
"It's only making me stronger"

And so it begins......

Hello everyone or anyone! I Just wanted to say how inspired i have been by many people's blogs and posts about having to pick up your family and move to another country. I like many of you are planning on picking up all my belongings and moving to Mexico to be with my other half. This last May my fiance was deported and has been missing from my life for the past, almost seven months now. Wow! I can not believe it has been that long already. We purchased a house last December and were planning on getting married next summer and starting our family. Life can change so fast and when you are least expecting it.


It has been a long 7 months without him, although I am so lucky to have the family and support that I do. I know I would not be as strong as I am without them. My parents are behind me no matter what decision I make. The rest of the family is still a little unsure about my decision to leave the US and move to Mexico, but no matter what the decision I believe they will always be
behind me.

Even though I have all this support of family and friends it is still nice to know that there are other people out there that are going through the same problems as me. (even though I wish that was not the case). It is very inspiring to know how all these strong women have left there families and homes in the United States and started new lives in Mexico with their husbands and children and are still so positive about life. It is such a hard and sad situation having families torn apart by all the immigration problems in this country.


Even though my life is totally out of control right now I am just focusing on staying strong and knowing one day everything will work out. My grandmothers always tell me to have faith and believe everything will one day be ok. All of life's hard lessons will only make me stronger. Right?
