Today my life changed forever. As most of you know I have had an ongoing love affair with the country of Spain. Today I met with a long time friend (Rodrigo Jiménez Hidalgo) who spoke with me about being an American living in Spain. According to Rodrigo one needs to file a “Solicitud De Residencia Extranjera” to the Oficina de Inmigracion in Madrid. Well lucky for me Rodrigo works there and my documents have been completed, filed and approved.
I know this seems quite sudden but those near and dear to me know I have been thinking about this move for years. I called Robyn and David this morning before making the final decision. They are totally supportive and even talked about joining us for the summers so the boys can improve their Spanish and not forget their abuelos (grandparents).
We return this weekend as planned and anticipate it will take 3 months to get our affairs in order for the move. As you know, I am not the type to pull April Fool’s Jokes. I think they can be cruel and insensitive and just not for me……….. well there is a first time for everything……. April Fool’s!
