munchie's first swing ride

they will steal anything.....

anyone remember the stories about the car we rented down here last time? come on the geo tracker..... well i'm convinced jeff has a knack for renting the shittiest car possible in any given situation. we now are the proud drivers of a red suzuki something. one of the belts needs adjusted so you can here us squealing down the road from anywhere, and to get the radio to work you need a tape in the tape deck (seriously where do you buy a tape anymore?), and the spring in the drivers side door handle is popping out so there is method to opening the door. it also has the annoying locking hub 4wd system, which up till a couple of days ago was fine.....

then somebody stole the hub that you twist to lock it in!!!!! seriously???? why? you do realize that that is a bit necessary around here, right, we can make it up to our place only in 2wd drive but it is a bit sketchy. so awesome, i swear ticos will steal anything

ahhh...

i have some time to write, the monster is asleep. it is so nice to finally settle somewhere, be it in another country or not. things are going well, we have been meeting people and have started hanging out with maya, brett, and their son jaxton a lot. they also just moved here and are about our age. jax is almost two and they have one on the way, so it will be nice to watch someone go through having a baby here before i do (if things all pan out).

jeff has been looking at property and found some interesting things, so it looks like the project is def possible here and i would imagine we will be able to find something before 6 months is up.

dane is digging it here. he really like the ocean and eating sand. i would imagine it would awesome for a little boy to grow up here so i am excited to watch him grow and have room to run and explore.

costa rica

so i really suck at this blogging thing, i have an excuse though, our internet has been really really spotty! anyway things are going well. don't have a lot of time right now since munchie is just barely occupied but i thought i would post some picts





ummmmmmm cheezits


the waterfall just down the road from our place


saturday afternoon


at the waterfall, maya and jax in the background


the view off our deck

our last night......

its our last night, really really weird. little guy is having a hard time, he knows something is up

adios amigos!

so for those of you who don't know because i am bad at keeping a blog, we got intercepted on the way to OBX and are now moving to Dominical, Costa Rica in a week! (on easter to be exact)

pretty crazy, but jeff will actually have a job there so costa rica + job =good, obx - job =bad.....


so the blog will be up and going again, i think it just got a little sad trying to write about my life living at my in-laws house.......

step 2 complete.....

well i'm sure you can tell that dane didn't make it past the second round, jeff and i are convinced that we just didn't know enough people...... oh well--

in other news, it's on! we have rented out our house and moved in with jeff's parents (yeah i know, its weird living with the parents again but at least we aren't in a basement!) so we having nothing stopping us from going to the OBX! we are planning on leaving in february. jeff is flying back in jan to get us a place to live---- i just can't believe its really happening....
