The early days...

[bcc_1_2]

I just wanted to make a few comments after living with the most stunning girl on the planet... for just a month.

She speaks english and picks things up like a sponge... but it is a very slow transition. As it turns out I do have for the moment... a housewife. She's learning to cook what I like and has learned how to use everything and keep the apartment clean.

It's a natural thing... I never asked her to do any of it. After her first couple of days I just listened to what she wanted to do going forward. She wanted to put off school and driving until this summer after we go on vacation. So yea basically she just started asking me questions and took it all over.

I'd say it is really important to get on the same page. After trying some classes her goal is to find either a part time or full time job. I swear to Horus (haha) one of the first things she asked me was when are you going to give me bebe. The agreement was to take the first few years to travel and have time together... then we can try for one. her reponse... "ok, you better... and then started laughing".

The main thing this first month was introducing her to female friends that would be a positive influence. Having her go out during the day with quality people... and your mom keeps her busy. Plus there are a ton of dvds and books around. The smartest thing was getting her gym membership so she could kick the futbol around.

One month down... a [snip]load more to go... hopefully.

Good Luck bcc,

that all sounds very normal, she will not be in any rush to learn to drive or go to school until she is very comfortable with her surroundings, as far as the baby, i know she will want one way faster then you and that is fine, Just makes sure you both are ready before you bring a child in to the world. Please keep us posted, i am very happy to hear all is well

PS... when is the big day?

best of luck to you and yours.

Ray... the big day has passed... its all legal now. due to the political tensions in Honduras at the time my family missed out on meeting her family in Honduras for an engagement party. So i got off real easy.

my 2 cents... whatever you rent or buy make sure the floors are heated and the place is toasty... if you want her to take her clothes off.

Regardless if we agree or disagree on anything:

Congrats on your wife. I am always happy to hear success stories...too often it isnt so sadly or turns sour fast for some reasons (usually the man believing a shark).

My advice regarding the whole driving thing: Get a used, cheap, BIG vehicle that will make her survival more likely in the event of an accident and then REFUSE to ride with her for the next two years.  My wife is on her 4th vehicle in 12 years now and has a perfect record... At least one accident in every one of them.  Fortunately all minor.  Strangely enough, they were all the fault of the other person when it involved two cars (even though the insurance company always thought otherwise).

She once made a U turn and ran over the median & take out a "No U Turn" sign (damaging the entire left side of the car).  Reason for the accident:  Somebody placed the sign too close to the end of the median!

If I'm in the car... I'm driving. I'd be afraid of an SUV flipping. I've been looking at the late 1990s LHS and Riviera models with around 70-90k miles. Those will all come in well under 5k. I'm already planning to put her on her own policy if I can. Probably just go with good liability insurance to cover her and whatever she smashes.

She likes those old eagle talon/eclipse cars... turbo... AWD well almost as much as she likes those 80s Monte Carlo SS models. I also made the mistake of showing her old photos of the K5 blazer I had in high school. She wants to find one to test drive...  yikes
