We made it! We probably got to our apartment around midnight as best as I can gather. Our apartment is small- despite having three bedrooms and one bath- and the area seems very secure. The apartment complex seems more like a compound with a little park for the kiddos (which there seem to be a lot of in this areaJ) and even a little outdoor stage with seating? Will have to see what that is all about. Over all it’s nice and seems convenient but, definitely not home. We woke up early again to all of the big city noises and smells. I have to say that from what I see so far it is clean and beautiful. Our “helper/driver” Jorge was telling me they are doing a lot of construction around here and planting a lot of trees.
Now on to more important things….After we figure out how to get some groceries (thank goodness I packed that oatmeal and Starbucks via coffee) I will call a taxi and go see my kids. I am so excited to see them. I can’t wait to see how much they have grown but, more importantly to get them back “home.” I hope that we can spend a good portion of today and tomorrow trying to catch up before our court appointment on Thursday when they will be living with us.
I miss my children back in Ohio too it’s really hard. But, one normal thing was that I got to call them this morning just like I would when I am at work. It made it seem more normal. Which leads me to the magic jack thing…it works great. We have a Kent number so all we have to do is dial as if we were home, no extra numbers or anything. And it is basically free. Good idea Jim!!!
Thinking of every one back home....
