It's Been Awhile

A lot of things have changed since my last post.  I really need to get better at blogging!  I just keep waiting for something amazing to happen so I can blog about good news.  

I'm making a goal to blog about Dylan at least once a month.  He is growing up so fast and I don't want to forget anything!  

Dylan is getting so big and he has the cutest personality.  He is a very busy kid with a wild imagination.  He loves to be in the sun and he loves to be the center of attention!  The other day he told me he loves to be outside because the sun turns him brown like his daddy.

D really needs to be with his dad.  No matter how hard it is for me to leave the U.S., I know the 3 of us being together is the most important thing and it will bring us the most happiness.  

3 weeks ago, we were lucky enough to take a little family vacation to Rosarito Beach which is just on the other side of San Diego.  We rented a condo on the beach and for a week, it felt like we were a normal family with normal family problems.  Dylan and Ger spent every minute together.  Ger couldn't even go to the bathroom without Dylan by his side.  

We started talking about moving to a border town a few months ago but we had our doubts.   Would it be safe?  Would Dylan be ok in school there?  Would I be able to cross the border to work in the United States 5 times a week.  

We looked into a private bilingual school for Dylan and loved it.  We also looked at some condos to rent and went to the ward we would be in if we moved there.  It all felt right.  Which is crazy because for the last 3.5 years we've convinced ourselves that we could never live by the border.  

We deserve to be together and to be happy.  I refuse to let the borders of this country keep us apart any longer.  President Gordon B. Hinckley once said, "In all of living, have much fun and laughter.  Life is to be enjoyed, not just endured."

I am the happiest when I'm with my husband and when I see him with our son.  Yes, I am devastated to leave my sisters, parents, and close friends but I have to make this leap.

It's just a waiting game now.  I wait for my nursing license in California, then I find a job.  With faith and a whole lotta prayers, we hope to be in Mexico by late September.

Thank you all for your love and support!  And hey, we should get plenty of visitors living on the beach!
