Mexico LIVIN' -happy February
We made it! We are here... pretty much moved into our new house, in our new country, in our new life.  Update time.. SO, Sam worked in SLC,UT from the time we graduated at the LDSBC..(so dec.15) until we moved on Jan. 27, and I flew to LV con mi sista Kamile on dec.15, and stayed con mi familia until a few days before we moved, Jan. 24th.  SAYING GOODBYE SUCKED! hahaha. No, but it really did. Vegas will always be my favorite place on earth:) it's where i grew up mostly, and the place with my most fondest memories. I came to the realization that at most I would see my family 1-2 times a year for a while.. which probably made leaving them even  harder. I cried and cried for days. haha. who wouldn't?! I miss them.  HOWEVER, I like it here. I like Mexico, i like San Miguel De Allende. The fact that both Sam and my future is up in the air makes this seem like a big adventure.  MY PLANS: are to 1st, take spanish classes, and master the language. I'm hoping it wont take longer than a year to understand at least.... haha. 2nd, i want to go to the Art Institute of San Miguel, and start painting classes.  3rd, i want to make my house a HOME. Our first home.  I want to love it here. some days i can't even believe I live here.  A year ago, I would never picture to be where I am now.  I always pictured myself ultimately livin it up in NY or LA... never in my wildest dreams (and i'm a crazy dreamer) would I ever have pictured myself falling in love with someone at age 19, getting married, and MOVING to MEXICO?!... Fortunately I know that there is a special plan for us all, and if this is mine, i'm happy.
When I, or any family says ya i'm moving to Mexico, people freak out. haha. When people think Mexican, or Mexico, they think of a short, dark, hispanic guy with a mustache and a sombrero, and dirt roads and drug wars. Which is true, but not for me:) My husband is not that, and where i live is a safe place far away from the boarder and the wars.  this, is where I live. literally a couple miles from this building.  this, is a map of Mexico, and San Miguel is in the middle.
No, not all of Mexico is dirt roads, haha, This is what roads look like here. They are cobble stone, the feel of this city is colonial, its old and pretty. 
It is nothing like LAS VEGAS! haha.. but i have high hopes, and am looking forward to what i can learn here.
