I spent the last week in San Diego visiting friends and family and showing off my growing belly. The week was wonderful. The breaze was so clean and cool, I relaxed and rested, and I spent some quality time with good friends.
As much as I loved my time there, I found myself so ready to head back to Mexico. I kept saying that I was excited to come back home. I realized that Mexico is my home now and saying that felt so natural; calling it home. I couldn't wait to see my husband, who I missed like crazy. I couldn't wait to pet my dog and to walk into my colorful house. It felt so good, like it was where I needed to be.
Yesterday James and I went to a park close by with Lila. We walked a bit then found a quiet spot in some grass and sat down. James played fetch with Lila while I leaned back into his arms. It was such a perfect moment. It made me so greatful for our family, and for our life together.
James and I are about 80 percent sure we are going to be staying here in Mexico for another 4 to 5 years. This is an idea that would have scared the crap out of me a year ago, but now, doesn't seem to bother me. Sure, I miss san Diego. I miss that ocean and that clean air. I miss my friends and family even more; but I have the most important things in my life right here with me and I am content in that.
We know this is the best decision for our family, and that is so important. So cheers to that feeling of contentment. It feels so good.
