Greetings from Ciudad Juarez! Sorry I haven't posted anything since we have arrived. It has been crazy ever since we arrived; getting to know the city, learning to do my job, speaking Spanish with everyone, getting things situated in our home, getting ready for the baby, and so on.
Living in Juarez is definitely an adjustment, but we're making the most of it. There are wonderful people, great coworkers, delicious food, and a lot of other advantages to being in this border city. But I'm sure many of you are thinking to yourselves, "That's great, Ryan, but we don't care about you. How's Sarah doing?" Sarah is thriving as always, hoping to start a new job at the Consulate in a month or two. In the meantime, she's keeping herself busy in other ways. Plus, she just entered her third trimester like a champ!
Our little man (name to be determined) is doing well. We will have our last ultrasound in a couple of days, and then we just wait a few more months for his arrival (still scheduled for early September).
Furthermore, Sarah is quickly establishing her reputation as the best baker in Latin America. Despite our limited number of baking tools (most of our stuff has yet to arrive), she's already made sugar cookies, homemade Oreos, brownies, and these amazing chocolate cakes she whipped up for the Consulate Bake Sale. Never change, Sarah. Never stop baking treats for me to eat.
I've added a few more posts to get you up to speed on life down here in Juarez. Please keep on reading!
