So this is the first entry in the Mexico section of this blog. For now (July 2004) this category and all it's entries will remain hidden. The main reason I am doing this is that I haven't yet told very many people, including my boss, that I am planning on moving to Mexico in January of 2005. So until a few more people know this category will remain hidden. When I have told more people this and all the entries in this category will become visible so that people can read my thoughts on getting ready to move to Mexico and the actual move itself.
This weekend I told my dad that Megan and I are planning to move to Mexico. He was really excited for us and said what I am sure will be the general reaction of people my parent's age, "Well if you are going to do something like this, this is the time in your life when you should do it." This seems like a bit of a backhanded compliment, but I pretty much agree with them.
When I told my mom a month ago her reaction was a bit more like stunned silence. It definately took her an hour or more before she came to the same conclusion that my dad did in a matter of seconds. This doesn't really come to a suprise to me since my mom has always been a bit more protective and a little less happy about me living away from "home" in Northern California.
I am happy that I have finally told both my parents and some of my other family and now Megan and I are going to do more serious planning for the move. That starts with getting together our CVs and looking for work.
