one year.

It was one year ago that we first came to Guadalajara and decided to make the biggest move of our lives. 

It has been quite a year for us. I feel like we've learned a lot. All the changes have been one of the most difficult I have yet to experience. Medical school is hard. Really hard. If someone could have provided a glimpse of our lives right now, I would have said NO WAY. We aren't doing it. But perhaps I will look back in 10 years and think, that was awesome. And to be honest, to be a medical student in Mexico, is kind of awesome. So many things here that I love. SO many things I am grateful for. So many things I will miss when I leave someday. 

Hard to think...but it's true.

J works hard. He always has. 

But I've never seen him work this hard. 

Cheers to being done with our first year!

We took a picture at a restaurant called, "La Bodeguita del Medio" when we came last November. We recently went there again. Funny to look back.

Good:I am going home for the holidays. I look forward to seeing everybody that I love. I love this time of year. It makes me happy. We survived the first year...phew!

Bad: My car has been broken for over two weeks. It's been a nightmare. We drive J's truck...3 seater truck, with all 5 of us. Not cool. My washing machine broke. I'm supposed to pack in three days and I have an enormous amount of laundry that can't be done. I want to scratch my eyes out.
