Home Sweet HOMES!!

So it's been a little over a week.

We packed up the truck...

Packed up the baby...

(in truck on way)

Minus the one eye;-(

(story here)

However, she is doing great!

Back to her old self!

The Pilot and Baby at the controls

;-)

"Moi"

The Co-Pilot
Fine job co-piloting
I was told!!

(not a missed turn nor exit)

Next Day

UGH!!!!

In our temp furnished digs until Aug 1st.

Unpacked a few boxes that we need for the next two months...

Or should I say, That "I" need for the next two months, lol!!

Girls gotta have her shoes;-)

All is great in Philadelphia!

Found Xuxa a great new vet...

Dr Cohen @Center City Vet

(took xuxa for suture removal of her eye, they did not even charge me, shocked to say the least)

Everyone is so nice!

Found a Cute Local Salon for Moi

Lakshmi Hair Studio

Lauren cut my hair into a short bob last week, going for hi lights on friday.

Pic coming soon!

Found a workout spot that will be less than half a block from our Loft in August.

Lithe Method

No excuses, time to get in tip top shape.

Yay!!!!

In Search Of!

Besides the anxiety of having to pack and relocate to another city, there are also the issues of finding a new vet and groomer for Xuxa. Trying to get situated with neighborhood stuff, Like grocers, cleaners, shoe cobblers and working out of course.
I think I can check off the workouts off of my list, well I hope anyway!
I found this place while trying to locate a place that teaches the Barr Method.It looks to be a great overall workout with a variety of different style classes.
I think I'm excited!
And there is a location half a block away.
So no excuses, right?

The Lithe Method
The Lithe Method^® is a fun and highly effective fitness regime that burns fat and sculpts muscle in record time. The challenging combination of Cardio-Cheer-Sculpting^®, our Higher Power Band System^®, muscle-shaking barre work and deep stretches fill the gaps left behind by traditional yoga, strength training, Pilates and barre classes.

Has anyone tried it?

New Beginnings...

I have set up this blog to document what I think will be a fun, exciting and yet a very emotional change in all our lives. I soooooo hate moving!! I have been at the same place for the past 15 years.

Last year was a year of a lot of ups (bruce+me) and downs (xuxa lost sight) so I am thinking a change is just what the doctor ordered.

I met the man of my dreams [Bruce] in 2009 briefly and then again last year.

He came to Chicago last July to meet his friends and to also take me on a dinner date.

Well let's just say!

He never met up with his friends;-)

Bruce is from Missoula Montana, works in Philadelphia on Monday thru Thursday and comes to stay with us [chicago] on the weekends.

Not good enough anymore!!!

Xuxa and I have decided we no longer want to be with Bruce part time, so we are all moving to PHILADELPHIA to start a wonderful new life together.

[actually met B in philadelphia]

I named this blog to reflect what will be our "NEW HOME" and life in a great new city.

We will be moving into a loft in the area of Philly called Old City.

A very cool neighborhood from what I have witnessed so far.

Quaint little shops everywhere, outdoor cafe's, art galleries and what looks to be a safe little dog park across the street for the Xuxagirl.

And lot's of historic locales as well.

The Betsy Ross House and Liberty Bell are both right around the corner, funny!

We won't be moving into that loft until August, so we are moving into another loft that is short stay and furnished until August.

I Can't wait! So Excited!!

So on this blog I will post all things "our lives".

Be it about Us, Xuxa, Home Decor, DIY, Travel, Cooking, Photography and whatever else pop's up.

I would love comments, suggestions, advice or just a simple hello every now then.

I am really looking forward to new friendships and tons of inspiration,

As was the case via my first blog.

Leticia + Bruce + Xuxa
