Today marks one full year in Mexico! We spent so long planning the move that, by the time we arrived, it hardly felt real. I found myself questioning our timing, our choices, my sanity. It’s hard to know in the moment whether you’re making a bold move or a huge mistake. We just hoped that it would all make sense eventually.
And little by little, it has.
I don’t consider myself a brave person, despite having done brave things. But it turns out, you don’t always need courage. Sometimes, you just need a plan, the nerve to follow through, and, in my case, an irresponsible amount of caffeine.
There are subtle, daily reminders that we made the right choice. Quiet shifts in rhythm, values, and priorities. More time as a family. More connection. More laughter. More love, if you can believe it.
One year in, and we’re still learning. Still unlearning. Still here. And still deeply grateful for the leap.
