The Past Four Months

I haven’t posted in that last couple months because there hasn’t really been anything too new to write about.  So I’ll give a quick update now on how Pancho and I are doing here in Mexico.  My friend Carly (now Sr. Carly) visited in July/August.  It was great having her here and I loved seeing my two worlds coming together.  After that things were pretty quiet.

In September my sister Joanna had a nice visit here.  It was great to have her here and pretty relaxing for me.  Later in the month I had my second jumping competition.  It went really well, I placed 2^nd out of 15 in the 80cm course.  I had a lot of fun too.  And in October I had another competition.  It didn’t go as well, but that’s ok because sometimes we have to make mistakes to get better.  My mistake was forgetting a jump.  The course had 13 jumps, and I couldn’t remember exactly which jump was jump number 10, so I lost a lot of time and points when I missed it.  But it’s ok and it was bound to happen eventually.

The end of October brought a wedding which Pancho and I enjoyed very much.  It also brought the family from Norway and we had a good time with them while they were here.  A week after the wedding we celebrated the Baptism of our new niece.  

Pancho is doing well at work and has learned a lot in the year that he’s been working.  He’s also learned to manage his time a lot better and we get to see a lot more of each other than in the first few months when he started working.  He’s playing tennis in his spare time and is almost at the point where he wants to be.

And perhaps our most exciting piece of news is is that I’m pregnant!  I’m just getting into the second trimester now.  We found out the day after my last competition, so of course we had fun saying that the baby is going to be a horseback rider because he/she has already had their first competition.

Yay!  Second place!

Anyway, that’s it for this post.  I’ll be posting a second one about the pregnancy and some common questions that we’ve been asked.
