After much evaluation on where we stand, what we’ve done and accomplished, and on what else we want to with our lives, andrea and I are now consciously moving forward.

We’re moving forward so we’ve finally put an end to the red car tales. After almost four years of service, we’ve decided to finally sell the red car. In fact, it’s been eight whole days since its new owner bought it from us. It is a little difficult and limiting at first but andrea and I have been commuting since we were in elementary so readjustments are not really too drastic. Also, we want mateo to learn the same crucial skills, and even all dangers and hassles that come with commuting.

We’re moving forward and arranging all financial and legal matters in order to purchase our own house. We’ve selected a nice area in the subdivision, contacted its owner, and are curently undergoing planning and negotiations. We have more or less planned the next few steps in construction and payment.

We’re moving forward and patiently waiting for everything to settle down (house-building and all) before we consciously start on having our next child. We’re looking forward to baby announcements, if all goes well, before the year ends. We don’t want mateo to be too old and too distant to his baby brother or baby sister (latter one preferred).

We’re moving forward and creating several plans for the future despite constant prodding from parents to do otherwise (to drop everything and go start a new life abroad where the grass is supposedly greener). We’re moving forward and deliberately taking the necessary steps to follow our dreams and the plans we’ve laid out way before we even got married. We’re moving forward.
