We Made It!

Okay.....I know it has been a while since we posted...but we made it to our new apartment! It is a cute little apt located about 3 blocks from the school I will be working at. The apt. has 2 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, kitchen, living room. The landlords remodeled the bathroom and hung new doors so it is quite cute! We bought a new T.V., dining table, washer, stove, king size bed, matress, shelves, etc. so we are set for a while!

We got into Mexico on July 13 and went to stay with Enrique's family for about 2 weeks while the apt. was getting renovated. We have been in the apt. for about a week now. The trip from Chignahuapan (where Ricky's family is) to Cuajimalpa (where we live) is about 3-4 hour drive. We bought our furniture in Chignahuapan and had it moved here. The plan was to leave at 5 a.m. and follow the furniture truck. All was well and left a little before 5, but at about 5:20 a.m. our car broke down while en route! Enrique looked at everything and tried to do what he could in the dark...but we had to wait until a shop opened at 9 a.m. to have it looked at. Gabby and I slept in the car and a mechanic soon came and we discovered it was.......a fuse!!!! Go figure! We got back on the rode, but the furniture truck was long gone. At any rate we made it in record time and found the furniture and got all settled!

A few days ago we took the bus and metro and took Gabby to the zoo for the first time! She loved it...not sure if she loved the animals or the stroller more, but she had a great time!

My29th birthday was this past Sunday. It was nice. Enrique got me a dozen roses and Gabby got me the cutest mug! George bought a cake and ice-cream (Ben and Jerry's) and it was great! We walked around the city and just hung out. It was really nice. Thanks to everyone who sent birthday emails! That was neat!

I go back to work on Friday at 7:45 a.m. Enrique will be taking care of Gabby while I work. He is having a blast with her so I think they will have fun while I work. We just got our internet, cable, and phone hooked up today so blog updates will be more regular now!

I have posted some pics we have taken since we have been here. Please keep in touch--email when you can!!!!!!

Hope all is well! Much love,
