In November one year ago, me and my husband decided that i was going to move to Mexico to be with him. First it was in January, than March, than May...you get the idea. I kept just booking vacations, but not committing to stay. I thought i was ready, but there was just a part of me that kept saying...just a little longer. Well no more. After this trip in August, i wanted to stay more than anything. Every time i leave it hurts a little more. A little more of me is left behind in Mexico. I miss my husband. My son misses his father. Our relationship isn't what it was or should be. It is so hard to sustain a relationship over the phone. I know we will come out ahead and stronger because of our trials, but i want to talk face to face with my husband. I want to hug him and hold his hand and watch him interact with our son.
So it is set. This November. I am quitting my job and me and my son are embarking on what may be the biggest journey of our lives. I am excited. I am nervous. No set date yet. When i see a good deal i am buying the one way tickets to Mexico. I will miss my family, my friends....heck maybe even my job. But i will survive and i will thank God for every blessing that he has given me.

I admire your courage Rebecca, God will bless your family like never before, and life will be all good!
Once you take the plunge, you'll be so glad that you did!
I am going to be driving down in November myself if you wanna load up your car and bring it too, lol. I'll be making the first of a few loads to get the majority of our stuff moved down before his appointment in January/February. It's scary but it's exciting at the same time. Keep posting to keep us up to date! It's so comforting knowing that we're not alone in this!
Wow, Congratulations on such a big life decision! :)

Hey that's awesome. It's good that you didn't rush into it - now you've got a feel for what things are like there and you will be more prepared and not jumping in to it. Wishing you the best with all of your preparations!
