Establecerse (settled)

" After creation, God looked upon it and saw that it was good..."
Mission completed and finally it is done! We have moved to our house and start to get a life again :) and here are the moments that all have been waited for: the pictures of the new house and me. It was a hard days work, I can tell you, and especially when you want it European style. Anyhow I have to thank my wife, my son, my family in Mexico and especially all the Mexican people that helped us so good that we could achieve this in such a less time in what we have now. Actually words are not enough to thank. In about 5 weeks we established and furnished a house, bought all the new furniture and equipement in it (because we had nothing), a car, the school for Rafael, work for me and all the "ditjes en datjes" that actually seems nothing, but in the end are costing the most. I will spare you the details to move to another country and establishing these in so few time, but you can sent an e-mail if you want to do the same :)and in need of some tips. It was really an endeavour to do, and I thank GOD that we finally made it. After 1 (1/2) years of planning and a seperation of almost 7 months we have our lifes back on track again ...

The new house is a fact. The permission is almost gruanted and work can start soon for me at IBM, and the new life in a new country is a fact for me. From a point of project planning it was a success and tonight on my wifes birthday (hiep hiep hoera:) we are going to celebrate a little in our own humble style. In about 2 or 3 weeks we will have the open house party and I hope I can show you a lot more new pictures again. It's a high tech undertaking here to get pictures uploaded but as you can see I did it. Good old tricks from the past keeps you doing things that others did not held for possible, anyhow we hope you like them although their of a poor quality.

My car that is parked in front of the house. An old DODGE Stratus with no airconditioning what so ever in it, can you imagine :P with 36 degrees in a traffic jam.

The street that shows the other half of it. For the once that wants my cell phone they can subscribe to my e-mail address at gmail.com. Be aware that this is not cheap to call me because cellular is "mas caro"

The other site of my street and the neighbours on the other site. By the way lovely people here and very nice, they all try to speak English if my Spanish is not well enough. :)

Our dining room, that looks a little like a church from the inside, but is nice.


Our home entertainment corner, for the time being, because we have to save some money for the big screen flat LCD TV for on the wall which is very cheap here by the way!! Just 25.599 pesos!! But we wait till we have all the necessary stuff first, of course :/

And one of me, as photographic as I am, lost some weight jajaja and get some color allthough I was not really enjoying the sun...






And last but not least a picture from my son Rafael, that was made from out our room that we staid for 5 weeks together. This is by the way the house of our mother and father in Monterrey, with the aunty Rosie on the background.









Post you all the next time and thank you for all the support I got from you. Keep sending me e-mails and please put the e-mail address if posting comments anonymous.
