One step closer


This is the entrance to what will hopefully be our new home. The apartment is nicely updated and we should have plenty of space.  We meet with the owner and realtor Monday to finalize the deal. This will be pending a successful wire transfer to our new Spanish bank account.  The price is quite reasonable, but the realtor fee was a bitter pill to swallow (one months rent).  What we got for that money was a huge amount of convenience and a go-to person for things like finding a good school for the kids. Although not easy, the pieces are starting to come together.

The transition for the girls has been tough so far.  As I mentioned previously, the time change/jet lag thing has made hamburger of their sleep and nap schedules.  It can only get better.  Camila told me today that she wants to go to grandma's house.  The foreignness of this place is definitely hard for her, but once she has a home and a school and a regular schedule I know it will get easier (or my name isn't Orville Redenbacher).
