Move Accomplished.

Published by Elaine under Family on August 15, 2007

I think we are all settled in, except my brain! It’s been one crazy ride that’s for sure. I am completely exhausted from the move, yet anxious to get back into a routine, for the kids sake of course. Lots and lots happening…all good, thank God. Isaac became a member of the chamber of commerce here in SA and will most definitely link up with other business owners, thats a given. We have run into several people already needing business….God again. Talk about from Best Buy(someone he met there) to 5050 Broadway (a delicious burger joint by the way) to somebody wanting to start a golfing business and not to mention a company here in SA wanting to contract Isaac out. It is mind-blowing! I know he will do fine, it is only a matter of time until he establishes himself.

Meanwhile I want to give a shout-out to

“Last Minute Movers“,   the company that helped us move (by the way, Isaac , my husband did their website). They did a terrific job, I would recommend them to anyone. Thank you so much Frank, his lovely wife, Natasha Tingle, and all your guys, you all rock. I pray that God blesses your business and family ten-fold. Thank you so much for your encouraging words, believe me they were heartfelt.

Here are some pics from the move:

   Ready for the move. Blury, but too cute not to include.

 Their little faces can be interpreted so many ways, my baby boys.

  Can’t believe we’re actually moving!

   Filler up.

       Oh so so tired and so so precious. My motivation and inspiration for everything.

Also, thank you mom, dad, Ofie, Brandon and his sweet wife, Renee  for helping us with the move up here. Renee thank you so much for keeping the kiddos entertained, you were awesome. By the way, I hope your foot gets better.  And thank you for the card, that was so nice of you guys. You all are welcome up here anytime, we mean it. 

Well I am taking vacation starting Thursday, August the 16th. I will start fresh on August the 28th except here in SA. I’ve already been in contact with my new supervisors and they seem pretty cool. The day of the move I received a call from one of them, they wanted to test my Spanish skills…well I passed with flying colors…so go-figure, I will be getting paid bilingual salary! Now, I will be honest, coming into this job I did not speak it at all. Now I understand it very well, however I did not speak it. Yeah that sounds weird, but growing up my parents spoke to me in Spanish and I responded in English, so I guess there you have it. Well I set a goal for myself to pick it up. There was a time that I had to attend numerous Adult Day Care enrollment events for my job, so I made it a point to sit with the Hispanic Senior Citizens and to chat about their lives. Boy, did I learn it quick, Spanish was the only way we communicated, I had to or I would not be able to complete my tasks. I have great respect for our elder population. You can sure learn a lot, that is where wisdom lies. I also saturated myself in the Spanish/English dictionary. Not only that, but when my biological mother lived with us in Corpus, all we spoke was Spanish. Now, moving to San Antonio gives me a whole different perspective on my culture. I feel honored by my origin and love who God made me. I am proud to be Hispanic, I absolutely love it.  Whatever God made you, be proud of your roots and know that God does not  make mistakes. “He does not called the qualified, he qualifies the called” (a mentor of mine, emailed me an inspiring story and at the end of that story was this quote). So true! Can’t wait to post more about our journey.
