Hello from Yakima

Well it's been almost a year since I posted on my blog.  Guess it's time to catch you up on our life here in Yakima, Washington. 2014 was an incredibly busy year with the renovation of our new home.  It turned out just beautiful and we are enjoying it so much.  Our view of the Naches River is ever changing with the seasons of which we just love.  We are also loving retirement!!  Free to do whatever we want.  Such a great feeling.   We moved into our new home April of 2014 and sold our condo here in Yakima shortly after that.  We were very lucky to sell it so fast and move on with our life in our new home.  We still miss certain things about Mazatlan and are hoping to go back on our 20th wedding anniversary in 2017.  We would like to go down around Carnaval time and Valentine's Day which is our anniversary.  Of course, we will stay at Torres Mazatlan where we were married.  As for now, we are just enjoying our new home and s...

On July 30, 2006, we retired the first time and moved to Mazatlan, Mexico.  April of 2010 we left Mexico and moved to Yakima and have been working since.  However, after a stressful two years of a full time job I've had enough and have retired once again as of July 31, 2013.   I'm so relieved and happy and so very thankful and grateful to have such a wonderful husband that is so understanding.  Unfortunately, he will be working probably for another year and a half.  I'm trying very hard to support him in any why I can to make his life as stress free as possible by taking care of all our needs at home.  I love being home, planning meals, keeping our home clean and organized and pursuing some of the passions I've put on hold for a few years.  I'm loving having time to get back to yoga and walking.  Here is a picture of us celebrating my retirement at our favorite Mexican restaurant.
