I Did it!

Honestly I still cant believe that I'm here,  I have been waiting months and the closer and closer it got to actually moving here, the better it was..

A few weeks prior to my big lifestyle change there was a little bump in the road.  The person I planned to do this adventure with was no longer a part of it.

A few days after that, the love of my life walked right into me!!  Simple as that...  So now this changed my entire outlook on my new life!  I was not only going to be leaving without my children but leaving the most perfect man that was truly made just for me... There were defiantly thoughts going on in my head on why I was still moving forward with my plans???  This was the first time in my life that I had figured out, I'm not going to change my path for anyone!!  (sorry babe)  With that said, I did know he would follow me anywhere I went, so I had a little insight there too.  LOL

So now, its off to the airport...  LAX mind you, I was told I could check in up to 5 bags!  So since Mike was gonna travel with me to get me settled and see what it was I was actually planning to do in Cabo, he said I could take more bags since he was just going to bring one carry on... SWEET  so knowing this I pack as much as possible now....   7 bags later and a huge iMAC, we are checking in my life to LAX...  in the wrong line, just barely made the cut off to check our bags in (of course)  this terrific gentleman pulls us out of that line and proceeds to take us to the self check in!  Long story short, we were too late to check all my SHIT! in!!!  REALLY!!!  yes really... had to do the whole supervisor thing in order to get all my things on the same plane with us to Cabo..  wheeeeeeew  we did, got everything checked and made the last call for boarding the plane.  Always exciting stuff with me and now with us, he is just like me!

Arriving here in Cabo, going through Customs, they see this HUGE BOX, and about an hour & $62 USD later we board our shuttle to the hotel..

Driving from San Jose to Cabo, its starting to sink in that this is my new home...  looking at the man of my dreams sitting right next to me with the biggest smile on my face, the only thing missing here are my children. :-(  However, looking at the view from the shuttle all around us all I could think of is how soon do I get to have my babies fly down here to enjoy this with me?

So I arrived here almost a week ago now, Mike and I had the most amazing time one could ask for...  We both know this is just the beginning of our lives together and get to see each other every other week!  I am just about finished with my Sales training week, and so excited to move forward with this fantastic lifestyle I will most likely be living for quite sometime....

I just want to thank that person for putting this idea in my head!  I wouldn't be here right now if it weren't for you..

Til next time

Adios Amigos

Sold!

Yup....  Finally Sold!  Just the other day I was thinking to myself, "If the house doesn't sell, maybe I'm not meant to move?"  Guess What?  I am meant to MOVE...  Very exciting I have to say.  We have had the house up for sale for 6 weeks I believe by owner, not much advertising at all, showed it to a handful of people.  But as soon as we put it on the MLS, after only being on there for 9 days.  We get 2 offers!!!  Imagine that.  Just a little advice,  If you want to sell your house quick, either get a realtor or put it on the MLS yourself.  That's what we did, its a flat fee service to do this.  Terrific advice I got from a client of mine about a month ago.  It was all perfect timing. I am able to still work until I have to move and I don't have to move twice!!! It feels very cool to have someone love my home the way I do, they loved everything I had done to the house inside, from my painted walls, to the venetian plaster kitchen and everything on the outside we did....  Looks like painting the exterior and fixing our front yard landscape was a good idea.  Even though I'm excited to end this chapter by selling the house, I am a little sad to let it go, I put my whole heart into this home. But like I always say, everything happens for a reason.  Best thing of all is that I actually stayed in the same place for almost 4 years, Wow! Now that's a record...  Ha Ha Ha

Im Booked!

Hola, It's official,  my airline is booked... I leave Friday October 12th!!!  Wow, its coming quick now and even more so since the plans have changed a bit.  You would think I would be scared to take off on this adventure, but crazy enough I'm NOT...  Is that weird?  This whole time we have been planning this adventure together, but I guess things change... Well I should know that by now , Right?

Now that it is coming down to selling everything I own, finishing up my last few weeks of clients and starting to find enough suitcases to pack up my stuff.. I'm finally getting excited.
Getting an email every other day from Gen, giving me details on what to expect when I arrive in my new paradise.  I will be rooming with another recruit for the first two weeks until I find a place of my own.  Nice thing is I get to find out who my roommate will be soon, so we will be able to get to know one another prior to just walking through the door of the hotel and not even knowing each others  names...  Phewwwww   That's a relief. 

Been watching videos of what I will be doing for work, and seeing the city through the camera lens, makes it even that much more exciting to get there.  I have always wanted to live at the beach, never thought it would be in another country, especially Mexico of all places.  The great thing is I get to be surrounded by gorgeous waters, sand, culture, shopping and night life!  Damn I'm gonna have it rough....  Hasta la proxima (Until next time)

START ON THE LINE!

I have had such an amazing career with my skincare business and have met and got to know so many great people over the past 9 years, now its time to start fresh.  On my own, getting to know myself all over again.  I'm so ready to revamp myself in every way possible.  This is my chance to be a better person to the people in my life, my family, my friends, new and present, and especially my children the MOST IMPORTANT PART of my new transformation.  Thank you Rick for giving me this opportunity to get myself back on track for myself and our children!  I am a very lucky person to have the people who care so much about me in my life right now. 

Thank you George,  I wouldn't be doing any of this if it weren't for you 

Going to miss this....

Happy Labor Day....  Got to spend the last couple days with most of my family, laying out in the sun, swimming at the pool and getting the house all fixed up and ready to leave it!  Oh and can't forget the night out with my cousins,  I will just say that you never know what is gonna happen when we get together... However I truly never thought I would witness what I did that night!  Anyways, there are many things I will miss about living here in Canyon Lake. The good parts of this town, the great people that I have had the pleasure to know and love....  The holiday weekends here at the lake, the Taco Tuesdays, all the events that keep this place a little bit of paradise!  Even though I will be moving some where far far away, doesn't mean I will not forget, or lose the friends I have made here..  To all of my clients who have been there with me through thick and thin, I thank you so much for following me everywhere I have traveled,  hahaha...  it's so nice to know that no matter where I moved my place of business you were all right there with me! Love you all so much for that <( Too bad I couldn't put you all in my suitcase)

I will also miss living so close to my cousins and my parents we are all very close and have been through quite a bit together.  One great thing about living so close to them is our children got to grow up together for the past 7 years, go to school together, BBQ, party, birthdays, and just being together.  

Of course my kids, I will miss dearly.  Still not sure how I'm going to deal with this one, but I believe in my heart that this is the best thing for them.  The one great thing about skype will be that I can see them anytime we want!

Even though I will miss certain things and certain people here. This is what I have to look forward to. I'm looking into renting a place at Misiones Del Cabo.  Here are a couple reasons why I'm looking here..

 
 Amazing views, from the condo you can watch the whales and the dolphins...
This is something I really never saw myself doing at this time in my life, but since the opportunity is here for me, I'm ecstatic to go for it!!!

One more great thing that I get to do while I'm down there, is my build up another array of clients for my skin care business... I'm going to be offering the same services out of my condo to my new family and friends in Cabo, this will help me make some extra money while learning the timeshare business.  I already have someone who is willing to help me build this while I'm there.  She says she will be my first client when I get there.  Thank you Gen.  Since I get 6 weeks vacation working with this new company, I will have time to take off when needed to visit my kids in Texas, and also have the time for them when they are able to fly to me in Cabo... which the hours I will be working will for sure come in handy when they are with me.   The support I'm getting from The Villa Group is outstanding.  I'm looking forward to starting a life in Cabo with this new family I will soon call my own.

*To all of you who have helped me throughout the past year or so, I still have not forgot about you and will not....  I will not be able to tie up all of my loose ends prior to moving, but will tie them all as soon as I am able!  I thank you all for being so patient and supportive in all my trial and errors in the past year.

Holy Hurricane....

CRAZY, CRAZY, CRAZY WEATHER EVERYWHERE......

"These are the rapids of the river that was flowing into the Cabo San Lucas Marina Boulevard..."  What the huli ho,

This was posted by a facebook friend of a friend of mine I will soon meet in Cabo......  This is pretty scary, seeing this just a month before I'm moving there!  However, this would be very interesting to see in person.  Living in California most of my life.  I have never been in anything like this.  This California girl is used to the ground shaking and a couple blizzards from living back east for sometime, but never a Hurricane!  

I'm thinking this is not a good picture to show to my future timeshare customers..  Ha Ha Ha

I got it!!!

Had such a great day yesterday,  Ricky and I started out bright and early in the morning with another moving sale, after dropping Ciara off at school.  One thing about Canyon Lake on a Friday, its the best day for a garage sale...  Yes a Friday, weird right?  LOL

Had so many people come over to see me, shop and talk Cabo, friends I haven't seen in a while.  Still it amazes me on how so many people I know, and don't know are willing to share their journey's with me.   Listening to you all tell me such great things about this new place I will soon call home, makes it that much more exciting to begin this incredible journey.   Thank you so much for sharing your stories with me.  I am so excited for this great opportunity I am given.

On our way out for the evening we stop at the mail box to find?  A priority envelope, as I'm opening it I realize whats inside, Yes MY PASSPORT!  Woo to the Hoo Hoo!!!   Ricky grabs it and smells it... he says "Mom it smells so good"  hahaha  He loves making me laugh.  It has been so nice hanging out with him lately.  He is an amazing kid, he has grown up so fast.  So weird to think he will be 18 in just 7 months...  Holy Moly!

He's right.  It does smell good!  LOL
