Buenos Dias Bogota

Where has Leo been these days you ask? Well, let me tell you....he has been basking in the Bogota beauty while I am at home raising 2 little hellians (Brandon and Mason).

About a year ago...Leo and I had a deep conversation about me quitting my job at JB to stay home (I already work from home, so not a huge difference) without having to worry about getting my JB stuff done on top of all the rest of the chores I have in my glorious life. I was soOoooO close to quitting, like seriously putting my 2 weeks notice in the next week when what appears in my email inbox: "JetBlue beginning service to Bogota, Colombia."

That exact second this message appeared, I knew that my exsistance at JetBlue would be permanent for the REST of my life because Leo is from COLOMBIA. And what are the odds that JB would have started service to South America to begin with? And to be even more far-fetched, who would've thought they would've started in Colombia? Hello...drug capital of the world! But, being the good wifey I am, I forwarded Leo the email and of course, he was exstatic. He has lived in Utah for almost 20 years and has only been back to visit once, about 7 years ago because I surprised him, and we flew there and spent 1 lovely month in mostly paradise...aside from the hijacking at the airport when we first landed.

Anyway, Colombia is a beautiful country, the people, the city, the Andes Mountains and all the lush, green cocoa plants....and Cartagena, where Romance and the Stone was filmed, one of my favorite movies of all time. And yes, Leo and I visited there and reinacted the dancing scene in the moonlight like Michael Douglas and Kathleen Turner did (Leo even wore a white linen shirt for me that night, it has got to be the most romantic night of my life to date). But more than anything, my Bunny was really, really happy to be able to go back and visit, and visit for free.

Our life, like many lives these days has taken a little turn and we have had to be a little creative with our finances since Leo owns his own business...and thanks to our BFF's a new business venture presented itself. Leo had the brilliant idea of taking this business to Colombia, which means he is gone 2 weeks out of the month to his beautiful birthplace and I get to break up fist fights, screaming matches and headbutting contests. All in the name of love and support for my Bunny. I hope he appreciates it....after all, his famous sentence these days are, "In a year from now Amber....". I hope he is right, that in a year from now all he hopes for will have happened. And most of all I hope he will be able to co-ref the fighting matches with me and be home for good.

To that beautiful city, I am not liking you much right now....although I do plan to visit you come April, so take care of my Bunny for me until then.

Adios!

And thank goodnes for Skype
