Apparently N and I are moving to Mexico for two years. Let me make some disclaimers. I know Mexico is NOT the most ideal and exotic place to move. Also, while we got the word today we are going, it won't be for a few months.
Anyway, while deciding whether or not we should accept the offer to move if we were to get it, we had to do a list of pros and cons which I will share with you:
Pro - I wouldn't have to be an accountant any more and my only job would be to stay home and be a Mexican princess.
Con - I might get kidnapped because that's what people do there, like a hobby or something.
Pro - We have never lived outside the great state of Texas so this could be a fresh start.
Con - I can never drink water from the faucet. Like ever. For like two years.
Pro - If I were to accidentally drink said water I would probably get violently ill which we all know = Skinny Gina.
Con - If I want to do anything like get a job or go back to school I'll have to learn Spanish fluently, which is virtually impossible since I have been trying to learn this damn language since I was about four.
Pro - Our moving bonus would cover our wedding expenses (yes, the wedding that will follow the ring that I have not yet received).
Con - Did I mention the kidnapping? And the rampant carjacking incidents?
So while the possibility of getting kidnapped and carjacked would deter most people from moving to a country where they don't know the language, I am choosing to see this as an adventure. A very scary, very nerve-racking adventure. And from what I hear most of the scary stuff is limited to people who are involved in the drug cartels so as long as I don't decide to become an entrepreneur or get the wrong tattoo I would say my chances are good. And if I still don't feel safe to leave the house, I could always have a baby to occupy my time or just come home and live with my mommy for a few months.
Nervous mexican princess love,
Gina
