A year!

**Susie Q Roo** · 05-12-2005

Hey! I just realized! Today is exactly the one year anniversary of my arrival in my little home in Mexico! I guess I made it, huh?

A year later, this is still exactly where I want to be. I love Mexico - the people, the eccentricities, the food, the atmosphere, the diversity, the color, the ocean, THE SUN, where I live, my friends here... all of it! If I knew what it meant to lead a charmed life, I think I might be doing just that. No regrets; I couldn't be happier!

And you know what? I have so many of you to thank for so much of this! Thanks for sharing it all with me to this point and I hope I'll get to know even more of you in the years to come.

YEA!

Congrats Susie !!

**SunKneeMarie** · 05-12-2005

And thank YOU, Susie, for your invaluable "insider" information and contributions. Congratulations on living your dream! Not everyone gets to say that!

**denisea** · 05-12-2005

Gosh, has it really been a year already? Time sure flies when you're having fun, doesn't it?

I'm so envious of you, Susie. And so very glad that you are still happy with your decision... though I couldn't imagine why you wouldn't be. Thanks for deciding to hang around once you arrived in Mexico to share your adventures with all of us. It's been great to have the addition local knowledge... especially, your daily weather forecast.

Good for you!! That makes me smile.

Your story and your stories bring sustenance and continued confidence to those of us whose move is in the planning and waiting stage.

Thanks

Ron (and Kathy)

All you need now is a sweet potato pie and a candle! Congrats!

No, Scott, you would be one of the eccenTRICS, hon. And you're only in Mexico part of the time, anyway. But hey, I love ya anyway, how's that?

Mmmm, sweet tater pie! But I'd settle for just sweet potatoes. Oh, and some Baked Tostitos. And some natural peanut butter. And some caffeine free Diet Mt. Dew. And, and, and... Okay, fine... I can live without all of that as long as I have this happy sunshine! (That was today's forecast, Denise)

All of you that are dreaming... know that it's possible, but know that you really have to let go of life there (mostly) to enjoy life here to its fullest. Wishing you all the good turns it takes to get you here, too!

Congrats Susie. It doesn't seem like a year has already passed.
I guess I wouldn't get busted muling some baked Tostitos. Can't guarantee they wouldn't get broken into a ga-zillion pieces.

Congrats.

Seems like yesterday you were still planning your move, hell it seems like yesterday we were at the top of the pyramid at Chichen Itza together.

Softy57 · 05-12-2005

My how time flies when we're having fun. Sure hope we catch up with you in 06.
You are an inspiration to many of us.

We all want to be there more & more.

SarahB · 05-12-2005

Diet Mountain Dew??? We don't have that in Canada either, or I would have had some by now for sure.....

Sounds really really good. Oh ya... and congrats and continued happiness to you, Susita!
