Update of updates

Some times I wonder what I'm doing keeping this blog open. I've gotten to be so busy these days I don't know why I even bother. So we are living debt free again(except our mortgage). Life is wonderful. Those two nightmares are out of our hair and we can breathe. And what better than picking up travelling again. Somehow we still managed to go to China last year and planned our Italian-Londonese vacay before we knew what the outcome would be. At last we were blessed.



Italy the country of all countries. How I love that place. Funny, I think our experience in China(the language barrier) made me feel a bit scared of travelling overseas, but maybe it was because this time we had the kids with us. Well Italy as usual proved beautiful and timeless, our Italian got better again and is slowing wearing off again. Seriously the only way to keep it is to go live there for 6 months. Oh well, maybe someday right?

We went to Florida once again this year. Can we get enough of the beach?? Pass A Grille Beach is a perfect substitute for Brazil: pristine, family oriented, quiet, and heck of a lot less. LOL! Back again we were, and this time with yet another goal besides getting a quick tan. We went to the U2 concert. In the words of a great friend Claudia, "St. Bono cures all ails." I somehow had the energy of doing a cross country trip. Thank goodness for friends all over the country, where would we sleep if it weren't for them? Off the Gabby's house in Dallas on the first night, then to Messia's in Alabama on the second. They made perfect stops. I'm glad my mother was with me, I could NOT have done it without her. I drove, she fed the kids. It was great.


We're settling in to normality again. Isaac sometimes wants to go to school and sometimes doesn't. I don't get it, but he's going. I need the break. As life becomes normal again, photography is growing and real state is bugging me. So I'm back taking classes to get my broker's license. At least they will give me credit for my experience in Utah. Which makes me happy because I'll be my own broker, yeah!!! I haven't really been impressed with brokers in Santa Fe, so I'll trust myself to do the job and get paid for it. Yes, we have a property in mind already.... Maybe next time I'll write about that.


We also ended up in London and got to see my dearest cousin Rachel who just moved back there with the family. I wished we had more time in London, but until we figure out something that makes us money while we travel, we have to come back to work.
