So after all of my complaining about being bored and safe… we moved on. We moved into the most beautiful house and even though it is only half a lot size, the home is huge. I love every square inch of this house. Nothing is set up yet, but it will come together very soon. We are on a budget now… Brazilian budget. This means that we have just barely enough income to cover our expenses and that eating out and dropping $60.00 at the Padaria is now just for a special occasion. Ok, this is good for me. We also can’t buy things that we don’t have the money for. We have one little card with a limit up to $2000. We have $97.00 real on it now and only plan to buy a few more things for the house. This would be a hose, bucket, shower head, rugs, plates & utensils but this is it! The rest will come and thank god again for Rodrigo’s parents. They gave us a stove, refrigerator, kitchen cabinents, 2 chairs, a temporary kitchen table and chairs, TV and an antenna, and coffee stuff to start my day.
In 2.5 months we have managed to get jobs, move to a new place, rent a house and buy a car. This is hyper speed here. As much as Rodrigo’s family wanted us to stay, I think they were also really happy that we were able to get on our feet so quickly.
The Kids. Well Monday we are on a full mission to place them in school. This could not be more important. Finally we have a place to call home.
