Milestones

Wow a lot can happen in a week. Where to begin....

Hubby is in Calgary and I was just informed moments ago that he did pass his Canadian Citizenship exam, and interview!!! YAY. Would you believe his ceremony is at 1:00 this afternoon?? That's in like 15 minutes Calgary time!!! Family and friends are invited so my parents are headed there and some of his best friends. It's all too cool for my family as they all had to go through this many, many years ago. I am first generation Canadian so have no clue!

What else?? I guess we've been so busy studying, and preparing for the exam we forgot that we passed an anniversary. I moved down to Cancun permanently a year ago last week!!! Most of my blogging friends, and even non-blogging friends who moved down here all remember, and celebrate their dates. Not I, we forgot!! Ooops!

In my year in Mexico (second go at it) I am still learning a lot about myself and Mexico. I do want to shout out a HUGE thank you to all of my followers who I truly, truly do consider friends for all of your patience, and advice!!! Without some of you I would go CRAZY!!!

I can't wait to see what this next year in Mexico is going to bring us, and can't wait to write about it.

Again, gracias amigas/amigos!!!

Congrats to your hubby and happy anniversary on your move.

I'm also "enjoying" the -27 temps today. Your poor hubby. His Mexican butt must be just about frozen.

A huge congratulations shout out for Gil!I used to celebrate the day I officially moved down here in 1995 now all I can remember is that it was in 1995 in the winter. :)

It does feel longer, does'nt it??!! Hopefully in a good way! LOL!!

Jonna - Thank you, thank you!!! Yes, it took over 5 years, but have to say it was very straightforward. Hand in paper work and wait. He's been partying up there w/out me, but I'm sure we'll do a little celebration for him down here!!!
