Hey everyone! Wow this video got a lot of views. I just want to clarify a few things. <br>1. When I said "the more you make the more you spend" Maybe I misspoke. We have always lived within our means. I guess what I might have said instead was the bigger your life gets, the more expensive it gets.<br>2. One big question "why would we leave our beautiful home and great stable life?" If you have to ask, you will never understand.<br>3. Our kids did not mind the move. They have made lots of friends here, they are kids, and we are fantastic parents who give them lots of love. <br>4. This move was not political. You would have to be insane to change your entire life based on politics and if you think it is, we don't care, take your rhetoric elsewhere. <br>5. Thanks for watching!

I always say if you are going to make a drastic move do not sell what you own. Rent a place for an entire year in the destination you’re considering. Then, after one whole year and four seasons you will know if it’s right for you and your family and if it is you’ve had an entire year to look for real estate. If it’s not right then at least you found out and can come back home.

I’m sorry for your hard experience. My husband and I moved to Spain from the USA 10 years ago and have loved it. I hope you find peace and joy as you move forward.

I’m so sorry about your little Theo. My wife and I lost our little Michael at 22 weeks. Same circumstances. It’s been 23 years since, and I still feel his loss. I’m so so sorry!!!
