I Lied!! But not on purpose

Welll hello to all.
It´s been awhile since I posted, and the last time I posted I told you we (my new husband and I) were moving to Bogota. Well,I lied.... After returning to Cali, he decided he didn´t want to live there, so we are now in Armenia. We are about ready to start moving into a condo after staying with his sister for 3 weeks (3 very long weeks!!).
I hated to see the personal messages gone!! I have lost all of your private messages, notes, and info!
Everything is going as well as it could under the circumstances. Thank God I met a couple here (Gringo and Col wife) who have been very generous with their time and help. His family here is worthless!! (So glad to have an annonymous place to vent!).
Hope to be back on line soon.
Maureen

A stich in time saves nine so we are now in Armenia

I was worried you might not gain this insightful wisdom. How long did it take?

Thanks Sam- I have enough to worry about without old proverbs!! Everyone begged us to come, but once here, we are left to our own devices with NO help (and no car), just comments about why aren´t you ........
No big deal I guess- I just know better the next time.

Caulfield- I´´ll be sending you an email in a day or two. Thanks a lot.

And for St. Louis- so sorry you are having to suffer another winter there!! This is the best winter of my whole life here in Armenia!!
Best move I have ever made- coming here!!

Can´t wait to get my internet at home!!
