Back to the NW

After a whirlwind year, I am back to blogging...

Pablo and I have now celebrated our first year anniversary and moved to the state of Washington.  We figured we might as well live close to one of our families, since we can't live near both.  So, here we are in the cloud covered, drizzly weather trying to stay positive while searching for employment.

Once again, we find ourselves relying on hope and faith to sustain us.  Interesting how when we clear one hurdle in life (immigration, unemployment, loved ones dying, difficult reationships) another one is just a few meters away.  To overcome our obstacles, we have to grab each others' and our loved ones' hands and get through the challenges together.  Growing closer when we could easily fall apart; living in a spirit of community instead of independence.

Hope, faith, partnership, family, community.  Let's cultivate these because in the end they are what life is about.
