We are here in Monterrey! This is the front of our house. It is surrounded with a cement wall and gates. Inside the wall is a small but very pretty yard. Our house is big and empty...can't wait for our stuff to arrive. We will be in this house for a few more weeks until our permanent house is available. Yesterday, I had my first adventure to WalMart by myself(with the kids) and made my way back through all of the one way streets to our house. I was pretty proud of myself, and finally decided I'll be able to enjoy living here, even without speaking spanish very well. I'll learn though! Monterrey is surrounded by beautiful green mountains, I believe they are the Sierra Madres, and it totally reminds Andy and I of Salt Lake. We can navigate by the mountains! I think Andy likes work so far...it's just been a lot of in-processing stuff and meeting with people. I think he'll start the real stuff in a couple of weeks. Anyhoo, we are here and alive and doing fine! I'll write more the next time we visit Carl's Jr. It is WiFi and we don't have any internet access until our next home. I'll try to survive without being "connected"!

It's so great to hear what is going on with you all. We miss you here in Wheatland! Lily's birthday party is an around the world theme. We'll be thinking of you when we break the pinata in "Mexico" aka our back yard.
Yahoo! You made it. I am so happy for you and totally jealous that:
1. you have a car. 2. you have Wal-mart and 3. you also have Carls Jr. with Wi-Fi. Maybe we'll bid Mexico our next time around and enjoy some of the luxuries of bing so close to the U.S. I can't complain too much we do have a few luxuries here as well...but man do I miss my car, and our dear friends. Best of luck settling in.
We love you guys...it was so fun to hear the kids' voices the other day at moms. Sorry it didn't work out to meet, we really miss you all. We were just runing out of time. I wish I had tons of money to just come and go whenever I wanted. Post more fun stuff soon.
love you, ~Melissa
