...Introduced two grandparents to their two sweet grand daughters
...saw for the first time this urban jungle which will be our home for several more years
And
...hand delivered a son home to his family after a 13 year absence.
During these past 365 days I have learned....
...a whole lot of Spanish
...it takes a whole family to raise children, not just a mama
...that in spite of accents, cultural misunderstandings, and wacky wives tales involving cancer causing ice - people aren't that different after all.
Here is to our first full year here in Mexico City and to the rest that come! Thanks for tagging along for the ride <3
Brava mama! You are the only person I know who is brave enough, smart enough, and generous enough to accomplish such a feat. Your familia is so lucky to have you. Here's to the next 365!

Awwww, thank you! Thats quite a compliment coming from you <3
DeleteI didn't realise you'd never been there before you moved. You are BRAVE! (even I visited the US before I moved here. I wasn't sure it was going to be worth moving to!)
ReplyDeleteI had been to Tijuana , MX ... Which we all know isnt anything like the rest of Mexico. Mexico City I had never visited!
DeleteAnd thank you, either "brave" or "crazy" to move to a city you have never visited ;) LOL.
DeleteHappy 1 year!
ReplyDeleteThanks mama <3
DeleteEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! I love you!! Your comment on my you-might-be-a-mexican-if just about KILLED me!! All the things that are soooooooo true when you're a U.S. mommy here that you come to learn! I read your ketchup post and I've had the SAME experience! Lol, from scoff to "Here baby, want ketchup with that zucchini?" Veggies, all meats, once a manderine orange and yes....once a pack of doritos." But ketchup has the biggest source of LYCOPENE!! Like SUPER important antioxidant! We're totall super hero moms. The doritos, well, nevermind. But ketchup is the SHIT! :D
ReplyDeletePretty muchEVERYTHING you say cracks me up, so the feeling is totes mutual ;)
DeleteAnd hellz yes, LYCOPENE. why did I leave that out?
LoL
Congratulations on 1 year!
