"Another" New Beginnings

All of my life I have heard people say "I wish I could just start all over again, have a new beginning". While it is easily said, I have learned from my life sometimes it is not so easily lived. Everette and I, Johnathan, Kirby and Evan are all having just that. For me and Everette it is "another" new beginning. This time in another country, Argentina. For Johnathan a new beginning, new job, living own his own, no dorms, no roommates. For Kirby and Evan a new life together as man and wife. So with all of that going on we should have plenty to talk about, right?

I have been inspired to start this by my niece, Jennie Harrell. During the time in 2007 when Everette and I were in Peru, Jennie started a blog for her and Dustin (her husband, my nephew) and I so much enjoyed being able to visit their blog and keep in touch with their lives.

Johnathan set this up for us, and I am in the process of learning how to work it, so don't have high expectations, please forgive me grammatical, spelling and typing errors, right now I am doing this in the dark, Everette is asleep ssshhhhhh!

Argentina is presenting us with more than a few challenges. First of all what little Spanish I did learn in Peru, is spoken differently here. Just like at home you can tell where someone is from because of their accent. Our most pressing challenge right now is our living arrangements. We are still living in the Holiday Inn, Rosario, Argentina. A very nice hotel, but we are both ready for our own place. After all I am tired of the maid waking me up everyday around 10 wanting to make up the bed and clean up. Doesn't she realize I am up late every night way into the early morning hours talking to people on the Internet. 9pm there is 12am here, 12am there is 3am here. You thought I was just lazy didn't you! More about hotel life later. For now I will end with a promise of pictures of the house we are hoping to live in. That is if I can figure out how to load the pictures, Johnathan and Kirby will have to help me with that I am sure. We miss you all and send our love, Dana & Everette
