Hello All!
I have posted some on the blog but have yet formally introduced myself.
I was born in Colombia and lived there for about 7 years. I moved with my mother to the U.S then. I've lived in California, Florida, and now in Nevada. When I was in my late teens, I went back to Colombia for the first time. I fell in love with my country and culture all over again. Two weeks after being there I fell in love. After my 4 month visit, I came back to the U.S with an empty heart. I had never entertained the idea of moving back. I visited 3 more times within the next year, mostly to see my now husband. We got married a year and a half later there. After a few years of distance-marriage, I petitioned for him to come live in the U.S with me. He arrived 8 months later.
We now have two children and feel like we lack something in our lives. This is not what we envisioned our life to be like. Kids in daycare/school, work 9 hours a day, see the kids two hours before bedtime and repeat.
We have family in Colombia that wants us to move back. We want to start our own business and feel like we can with the little nest egg that we've built up over the last couple of years. I want to teach english while he gets the business going. My children will be well cared for and will have plenty of love from both of our families.
So, I am here. A Colombian, living in the U.S identifying herself as an American because that's all I've ever known. I'm ready for this new adventure and I would love to meet some expats in Bucaramanga.
We haven't set the date yet, but our move will be anywhere from April - October as I will need to sell cars, house, and other personal belongings that we will not be taking with us.
