We are moving to...

San Juan, Puerto Rico!!!!




We are excited for the weather, and the beaches with warm water! San Juan enjoys an average temperature of 79.9 °F although 90 °F or higher temperatures are often felt during the summer, especially if the winds come from the south. In the winter, temperatures can drop to the 60s, though the average winter low is 71 °F (22 °C). The coldest temperature ever recorded was 60 °F ! We are also excited for the Food and great sites to see and visit. This is a great career opportunity also for Sam. He is being promoted to a Ban 2 within Procter and Gamble. This is considered a foreign assignment, although it is a U.S. territory, so there are a few added perks to the job offer. He will be over Home care (detergents etc.) and Baby care products for Procter and Gamble over all of the Sam's Clubs in Puerto Rico.

We are sad to leave all of the great people we have become close to here in Virginia Beach! This has been a great place to live. Yet we are excited for this new experience and everything it entails! Sam has to start work the beginning of January. So we have less than 2 months here. It is going to come SO quickly.

We will keep you all updated as we know more. But for now, you know as much as I do!

Trick or Treat!

Carving Pumpkins!

Aaralyn and the little neighbor girl Elise "carving" pumpkins. (More like just playing dress up while the mommies carve pumpkins ;)

Getting ready to go trick-or-treating!
The first house we got to, We knocked on the door and when they answered, Aaralyn said, "Trick -or- treat" and walked right on into their living room!! I was horrified. We all laughed and they said, "Ah we have a little devil in our living room on halloween". It was pretty funny. I guess I didn't realize that I needed to explain to her how trick-or-treating works!
SOOO much candy! They had a lot of fun! Aaralyn really loved getting candy. She walked around like she owned those streets. I think the concept of walking around and getting free candy was like the best thing in the world to her!!!! She is so proud of her pile ;)! She even shared with her brother ;)!
Happy Halloween!!!! (He looks so tired in this pic)
