I have been offline for weeks. We moved and they are very slow here (costa Rica) to get things turned on such as internet and cable tv. I am about to die without both!!! LOL I am in a coffee house with my laptop using their wireless. ugh We have been here 3 weeks and so far we are liking it. Of course I miss my family tho!!!! The kids are really enjoying the school they are attending. They are in a very small american school. They are learning spanish and have already been to 2 birthday partoes outside of school, started in a church group, blake starts basketball today and brad begins drum lessons at a music school this week. LOL So there is no time for tv or internet really! ha I hope to be in a total immersion language school type setting very soon. As long as I am progressing I can go to language school the whole 2 yrs we are assigned here.

We have visited a volcano, waterfalls, and the pacific ocean so far... It is gorgeous and the people are so pretty and so NICE!!!

Hope to be back online soon and catch up with all of you.

How are things going with the Ex and moving the boys. Sounds like they are with you so that is a plus. Enjoy the new surrondings and hope to talk to you again soon.

Glad you're settling in! I treasure the three years we lived overseas. Enjoy all you can!

I didn't even know you were moving, let alone to Costa Rica. WOW! What a surprise! Sounds like everything is going pretty well, but I would die without tv and internet, too, if I wasn't working.
Nice to hear how you're doing!!

Conni, where in Costa Rica are you? We have some very dear friends there now. There are in language school for one year (they'll leave in Dec.) en route to being missionaries in Peru. They have 3 kids around the ages of your middle boys. If you're near, I'll try to get you guys hooked up.

Glad things are going so well! I knew you were thinking about moving, but didn't know it had been decided on. WOW!!!

How exciting!! Sounds like everthing is going great. Keep us updated with how you are doing!

How exciting! We will be visiting there in a few months. I love Cafe Britt coffee!

Conni, I was wondering about you. I totally missed that you were moving. How great! My husband's brother and family would like to move to Costa Rica someday. They visit often and I have seen the pictures. What a beautiful place. Sounds like everyone is settling in. Will your family be able to visit occasionally?

It will be nice to have you back! Take care.

I'm so glad that you've checked in with us! I've missed you but I'm glad to hear that everything is going smoothly. I hope you're enjoying yourself and that everything is going ok with the boys being with you. {{{Conni}}} You've been missed!

That sounds exciting! I'm glad things are going well! I would die without my internet!

What brings you to Costa Rica? I think that would be such an exciting adventure for all of you!

Pam, we are on the West side of San Jose area...Feel free to pass your friends email on to me or give mine to her. clmcdan@yahoo.com

This week they finally showed up to turn on the internet and cable tv. And the next day they showed up with our air shipment from the USA. So it's been a good week. Well, if you dont count the wreck I had on Tuesday night. ha I guess I am officially broke in. The driving is crazy.

It's good to be back online. Will be good to catch up with all of you.
