1.16.10 "Come to Mexico. It's so WARM there!" I swear I have been freezing cold since we got here (with the exception of maybe two days.) It's been overcast nearly the whole time we've been here and these Mexi-casa's don't have HEATERS or air conditioning of any kind. Just windows galore. I've been questioning the rumors of wonderful winter weather in Mexico until we learned the other day that this is the coldest winter Mexico has seen in 10 years. OF COURSE the "coldest winter in ten years" occurs when we come along! I shouldn't even be complaining, it's not even that cold. Today it's maybe 65 degrees (compared to Utah at 25 degrees) BUT in these cement houses until the sun comes in, it's pretty chilly (keep in mind the no heater situation!)
This morning was the first morning I actually got a HOT shower since we've been in Mexico, granted the hot doesn't last long, but it felt good while it did. I finally got to shave my legs for the first time in 2 weeks! Another thing I took for granted-shaving in constant hot water. My feet were so cold that when I showered THEY HURT! I had to turn the water to cold to warm my feet first, then turn it back to hot. I wish so badly for a little space heater. My FEET are TIRED of being COLD. This having been said, my advice to you... Don't EVER take your heating elements for granted!
A Utah family sells everything they own and makes the decision to move to Mexico with only the items they can fit into their Dodge Grand Caravan for what can only be described as a life-changing experience and for them, the adventure of a life-time!

About Us
- The Romero's, est. 2004
- Jocotepec, Jalisco, Mexico
- We are a family of 5 consisting of a Mom & Dad, a set of twins and a 4 year old. With the exception of Javier, Jaden, Jorden, Corbin and I were Utah born and raised. Javier was born in California and has lived in MANY places including Mexico. Javier is a social butterfly (for lack of a more masculine word) while I am more reserved, because of this I think we make a good fit. We are doing our best to raise our three sons as well-rounded, respectful individuals who will prove to be responsible and HAPPY when grown. We like to make the most of life. We LOVE traveling & seeing new places! Javier has made magical things happen for this family and I love him for that (even though MY Mom may not.)
