Brazil

I'm sure some of you have heard where our next adventure is taking us.  I think it might even bring new life to this blog.  There so much to say about this.  The what?  where?  when?  why?  how?  I know.  I keep wondering all these things and more myself.  So I'm going to answer each question one at a time.  Let's start with...

Where???

Sao Paulo, Brazil!  I've known for years that Drew has wanted to go back to Brazil.  He served his mission in Curitiba, Brazil.  He loves the people, the food, the language and everything else about it.  When he would talk about Brazil I always envisioned going on a two week trip, seeing some of his mission and then going to the beach or maybe visiting Iguazu Falls.  Little did I know that my first trip to Brazil would be a house hunting trip.  But whenever he talked about it I always reminded him of how dangerous it was or how expensive it was to fly down.  So we left it at that.  Fast forward a few years and he started doing a lot of South American work.  He started talking about the possibilities of working in Brazil. I always gave him the same answer.  NO.  I never really gave it any thought. Yeah, it sounds cool but really?  Brazil?  me?  Then we moved to Arizona.  The plan was to stay here long term.  We were going to raise our family here.  We thought about buying a nice big house (for so much less than in New York) but then we didn't.  The more we thought about it the more we missed New York.  The more we knew that's where we really wanted to raise our family.  We also missed the adventure in life.  We love to travel and try new things.  In December, I mentioned it might be fun to go international again.  That's where the where came from.  Check back tomorrow for more on our craziness.

Are you kidding me? You two just cannot stay still for more than a year or two.

Man, I was really hoping you'd be coming back to NY. At least we'll see you this summer!
