Pura Vida!!

So as I had already told you before, my husband Eider is from Costa Rica. It is a little small country in Central America south of Nicaragua and north of Panama. (In case you don't have Google Earth). I try to spend as much time there as I possibly can for several reasons. One, my older sister Kim is married to my husbands brother and they live there permanently. (I know, how redneck). Two, I try to let my in laws spend as much time as they can with the kids. Lastly, I have really started to fall in love with the country itself. They have this motto there, Pura Vida. Its actual translation is pure life, but the meaning is something very similar. It means for you to live you life freely, without any mess. To enjoy the people that you love and the friends you keep. I don't know but when I am there that all seems so much easier. It feels like I can get up in the morning and not have to stress over what the day is to bring. I really think that this is because there is no English TV, no AC, no land line telephones, frankly there is nothing to do. Just relax! Now that is a vacation!

Over the past several weeks I have seriously thought about making Costa Rica my permanent home. I dunno! I always said that I would stay around for Jamie and my mom but now they have both moved away. Eider says that i can not live my life worried about theirs. There it is again, that damn guilt. Maybe some day soon we will figure it out. I am up for about anything. If we are going to do it, I just want to while the kids are young. I don't think that they would really care having to do most of there family is there. I guess we will see. I do know one thing if this economy keeps going the way it is, you can kiss my behind goooooodddddbbbyyyeeeeee!!!!!!
