first night

Tonight we go down to our new place in Mexico with Alabama[the dog] and our air mattress, some surfboards and non-perishable food items for ur first night there. At the moment we do not have a fridge or stove. But assuredly all these comforts will be in place, including internet, cable, and furniture, before any of you arrive. I'm not sure how many people I know ever read this blog. I say this because no one other than my parents and I.Krepchin has responded to the whole moving to Mexico thing.

Trent and I have been in a state of excitement about the move over the past week, and I have noticed that the reactions we are receiving fall into the following two categories.

First- the 'wow, what an exciting adeventure . . .can I come down?' [Diane and Tom have already booked their flight in April]

Second-'isn't that going to be a terrible commute' preceeded by an akward wait for joke acknowledgement, or the eeew-mexico-is-dirty face.

Sometimes finding out where people stand on your life decisions makes for a clearer lens.

on the subject on lenes . . . I am looking into shooting destination weddings down there. Think of me, if you hear of anyone who is heading south.
