Close- lying on my couch watching my awesome pool being built! By Mexicans!
I reinjured the fractured rib, so I have to maintain a nice elevated mental state. Marle you're invited anytime!

Tell my in-laws I said hi!

[lucky513]

the fire, will it be in the middle of the pool or on the outside?

Amber, do you live in Mexico? Or just visiting? Which part?

We lived in Monterrey until a few years ago, when DH got transferred to the UK. Now we may be on our way back to Mexico by the end of the year...

Nah, I'm not in Mexico, I was just kidding! I work close to the Mexican border, and most employees and customers are Mexican. So it feels like Mexico a lot. Border patrol, etc

Where is Monterrey? Are you scared to go back to Mexico?

Okay, got it. Monterrey's in the north, about 2 hours south of the Texas border.

Am I scared to go back? Yes and no. Yes because of the cartel violence that so very much changed our way of living (security measures, etc.) only 6 months after I moved there. No because of said security measures. If we're careful, we should be just fine. We're fortunate to live in a privileged (i.e. protected) area of the city.

Mainly I'm not thrilled about going back because I'm afraid I'll be bored after two years in London! But I try to look on the bright side and remember the really amazing lifestyle we had there.

I'm sorry you're hurt but it's
Good to have an "elevated mental state"
