A Friends' Boost

"Seeing my friends, seeing how well they’re doing, and the amazing progress their kids have made, was very gratifying...-continue-..."

While we just got the news that we are being kicked out of our house for the THIRD time in two years in this miserable country...it seems that we at least did something right...

I think our Dutch friend in the US said it wisely, and it made me grin: "...you learn from whatever life throws at you (some of it, I am sure, is stuff I throw at myself)".
If we learned one thing from this whole experience it is that we need to take the red flag warnings along the way, of whatever decision we are about to make, a bit more seriously. A couple of months ago I felt I was fighting my intuition about moving into this house. So I can blame myself, but really we couldn't have known that the development company was planning to flatten this lot so quickly! I still doubt that bulldozers will already show up in December, so we are trying to reason with the 'big guys' to let us stay untill Summer....

We will see what the outcome will be. I've thought very strongly about moving back early to the US with the kids...but seeing how well they do in school, I refuse to leave just yet...

Thanks friend...
