I am not home.....

Rodrigo landed in Chile this morning. Yesterday was pretty rough, it's so hard to to be away from him again. We have spent 9 months together since we were last separated. So since I am not 100% sure on the day we will next be together, I have many pictures to upload and many goals that I want to accomplish in my spare time. So onto a list and since I have no idea how to upload pics....I thought there was a button up there....

1. Get rid of the chub that I gained from coming home!!
2. Sew a jean quilt. (Seriously, I started this project 3 years ago! I should be able to finish it now... I have 180 squares now and I just have to sew it all together!)
3. Sew a little cushion/bed for Zoe.
4. Pay off one credit card.
5. Enjoy the fact that I am so close to family now, so go visiting. A LOT!
6. Learn how to cook more dishes with almost nothing.
7. Go back and enjoy some of my hobbies I haven't had time to do. (Candle making, painting, writing, reading!!)
8. Fish and hunt whenever possible. (The hunting part sounds cruel...I have yet to take the life of an animal other than a fish, but I eat the meat, so.....)
9. Go through and organize all that I own, label it so I always know where stuff is.
10. Prepare for Canada. Job, apartment, everything!

Hey! Random question... why Canada? Is it easy for you two to get work visas there (and to find work at all)?

(btw, you met me once at a gringa b-day party in Santiago. Dont know if you remember.)

Good luck with all of your goals! I know how hard it can be to be away from your loved-one. Just try to keep yourself busy!

Hey Kelly, yes I remember you. We are planning on Canada because there are going to be A LOT of job opportunities in Vancouver area this winter because of the Olympic games. And because we can both work there. It is more expensive for Ro to get a work visa in the US. It's actually cheaper for both of us to pay for visas and plane tickets to Canada.
