I found my Argentine Birth Certificate while we were moving to our new home and i noticed the birth-date and realized i'm going to be considered an "Antique Person" based on my best friend Brea Williams De Saine. Seems like for the past few weeks i tried to not remember one of my most favorite holidays, because this time i'm not turning 18 and able to purchase cigarettes legally ( I don't smoke by the way ;), i'm not waiting anymore to be 21 and go dancing with my older friends but this time my wife said, "Everything and anything that is 25 years old they consider you antique because they give you discounts for everything and they look at you officially as an adult", at that time there were thousands and one thoughts that crossed my mind thinking, 'have i done everything in my power to be even a better person than i am now'?. Like my very good friend "Said" said, "whatever bad happened i deserved it, and whatever good happened i earned it" as my wife knows that i simply hate with passion thinking about the past specially those bad moments in life, they are gone and we only look forward to be better people based on our experience and to open a better, clearer path for our future, i believe i have earned my blessing and God has provided me with health and love from my new family "The Williams", Oh they have opened a new door to the "Saine" family by giving us more family to give and receive love.
We are only 4 days away from my birthday and i can't say that i'm sad or if i could've done better or what i did wrong or right, but i can only say one thing, that talking to my amazing friends and my wife coaching me and guiding me 'Paso a paso' :)
i have never been so ready to finish school and focus on my future like never before.
On the other hand many of our friends are a little confused about if we were living in Mississippi or Tennessee. Well, when we first got Brea's job offer we did our very best to learn about the city but our concern was where we were going to live since Memphis, TN is considered top 2nd most dangerous city to live. Long story short we lived in Southaven, MS that if you google map it you will see it is only 2 miles into the state line of Mississippi, yes we found a what it seemed a safe neighborhood and rented a house for the first 6 months, then things without going into detail our stay in Mississippi was not longer an option and thank God we were able to officially get out of our contract and move to the newest, safest, coolest, cleanest part of Memphis which is "Collierville".
Now apartment hunting was ugly and quite challenging driving from one place to another in our tight lunch schedule and using our precious weekends to find that one apartment that we would spend the rest of our stay here in Memphis, Tennessee. We went for our very last apartment we had on our long list and everything about it sold us, now i won't say where it is for security reasons ;) but it is in Colliervile and we are so excited that now we don't have to travel a whole lot compared to Southaven, Mississippi and we made some great friends.
I just heard that my parents booked a flight to Cordoba, Argentina and they are planning to stay there for a little over three weeks and get to see the whole family once again, it has been almost a decade since any of us have seen our Argentine family. Well, i hope they better bring something, and something yummy to remember my youth days.
Now that we are settled in our new place we can start blogging more often to keep our dear family and friends updated.

Move to Memphis
Just as we had our charming decor, 52 inch flat screen, new bedroom set, 2 piece couch and white lights hung with love around the living room......a job offer for me transpired. The opportunity was to work for Strayer University, which is a proprietary college located mostly in the East and Southeast. With 2 interviews in Washington, DC the offer letter arrived via yahoo......relocation to Memphis, TN. Stunned as we both were, we immediately created a pro/con list and decided a great adventure was upon us. Long story short, we loaded up the Mazda 3 with my Mom, Dad, Louie, Jona and I and headed down the freeway.
August 2009 started our new lived in Southaven, Mississippi, which is a suburb of Tennesse. To be honest, the next 5 months were difficult to say the least. Our love and bond was stronger than ever because it has really been JUST THE THREE OF US- Louie included. We have missed our families and friends and the culture of Memphis has been shocking to say the least. The saying what does not kill you only makes you stronger was full force in our lives. We became regulars at Blockbuster, took delight in finding new places to eat, spent mornings at the gym and ventured out to Memphis as needed. The great news is we were able to visit Kansas City, Alabama, Panama City Beach Florida, New Orleans, Nashville and Atlanta. We were also lucky to spend Thanksgiving with my cousin Rachel, her husband Wade and precious daughter Willa. We also have seen my Grandma two times in the last 5 months, which was more than I had seen her in the last 10 years (she lives in Kansas). December 2009 we flew home to be with our friends and families, which was a blessing from heaven. We brought in the New Year in Las Vegas with my sister. 2009 was a year of learning, adventure, happiness, luxury, appreciation and blessings.

The Saine Love Story-Part II
Today is January 20, 2010---that is correct, it has been over a year since I last posted a blog, however the Saine's Love Story did not end-it had only just begun. What a year it has been-it is no wonder why I have not taken time out of my life to blog.
Where to start- Jonatan and I are married now : ) That is a great place to begin. We started off our year in a beautiful townhome in Draper, Utah overlooking the city. Our first big addition to our family came in February with the purchase of Louie Vuitton. Louie is a Shiba Inu and has most of the specified characteristics of the breed.
For the first 6 months of our marriage, it was about traveling- we visited Las Vegas, several placed in California, Boston and New York City and this was all before June. Then the transition-
