Choose your own adventure

Lately my life feels like one of those choose your own adventure books i used to read during the summers when all the other garfield comic books were checked out. We keep making dramatic desisions during the course of our life that we think will take us to our happily ever after but then those pages that ask you to choose between various off course paths that will eventually take you to a different ending. Our latest page stopper was a letter in the mail saying we had to be in utah by the 29th of january or we would loose gastons status and would have to start immigration crap all over again and not be able to return to the states until it is complete. That could take years. So what do we do you ask? Well we have no choice but to choose that adventure and see where it takes us. For now it takes us back to were we sold everything we had and now have absolutely nothing, except for family. So those of you who will soon be getting a phone call from me, consider yourself a savior in the choose your own adventure book of my life. We have to stay there for the rest of the year. So that gives us time to find our next "what do you want to do now" page. Wish me luck. Or give me money. Whichever you think would help me more :)

An update on our lives

Our time here has flown by. It seems like forever and not at the same time. Christmas and new years were fun, we spent the holidays with family gaston hasnt seen for years and it was fun for everyone to get to know each other.
We have spent alot of our days escaping the heat up in the mountains where we can hike into areas of water that are so beautiful and tranquilo. Sitting by the pools of water drinking mate and eating the cookies , that by the way are the best cookies i have ever eaten, and then hiking back down to the place where the huge grills are and having a nice bbq.
Nico is learning a new word every day and getting more and more curious about everything and we have only lost him once. He ended up being behind a curtain. He likes throwing and eating rocks and especially loves taking care of his little sister. by taking care i mean smothering her with hugs in the morning, litterally, and trying to feed her everything he eats, and force giving her her binky when she crys. So cute.
Sophia sits on her own and loves to try to eat EVERYTHING!! She often takes nicos cookies right out of his hands if he gets too close and hurries and shoves it into her mouth and sucks on it like crazy. She loves to eat and is getting chubbier by the day.
Gastons ankle is mostly better, i hope, he took of his cast three weeks early and is just casual walking on a broken bone despite my nagging him to stop and let the freakin thing heal, he aslo has been busy making buisness deals and getting things ready so that when we go back to utah in a march (hopefully sooner) we can run things from there.
Me... the life style here is really simple and so most things here are done by hand, so most of the day i spend doing laundry and hanging it on the line, Heating up the water for a warm shower if im not to lasy, taking naps, preparing meals, playing with the hose and water on way too hot days and i actually really like it. It makes you appritiate everything in life. Im enjoying our now vacation and am actually secretly happy that we HAVE to go back for at least a year. I miss my family. And my own bed. And bath tubs. And not having to share the bed with nico. He takes up half the bed and me and gaston squish together on the other half. The things we suffer for our children.
