A nuestras chicas les encanta cantar. Siempre estan cantando algo. Alguna vez se ponen encima de una mesa y se ponen a cantar a todo volumen o a dirigir la musica en la noche hogar. El domingo tenia Que cantar una cancion Lorena en la primaria y lo he grabado porque lo ha hecho tan bien. Se ha confundido un poco con la letra, pero no le ha dado verguenza ni nada a cantar en frente de la gente (aunque tampoco se puede decir que tenemos una primaria grande). Y Nerea queria seguirla tambien, claro. Asi que aqui esta.
Our girls love to sing, they're always singing something. Sometimes they put themselve on top of a chair and sing really loud or direct the music that is playing. This Sunday Lorena was asked to sing a song in Primary and I recorded it because she did a great job. She got a big confused with the words but she was embarrassed or anything to sing in front of people (although we don't really have a big primary either). Nerea had to follow too of course. So here it is.

Peinados / Hairdos
Ultimamente he encontrado un monton de blogs con peinados chulisimas para mis chicas y estoy locamente cada noche buscando que hacer el dia siguiente!! Me encanta! Asi que aqui algunos intentos, algunos ha quedado mejores que otros, pero no soy profesional.
Lately I found some blogs to do really cool hairdos for my girls and I'm every night looking for new ones to do the next day! This is great! So here you have some pics, some better than others, but I'm learning!

La vida diaria / daily life
Pues otra vez toca ya poneros al corriente con nuestra vida.
No pensaba que nos/me costaria tanto en acostumbrarnos a la vida en Austria. Añoramos mucho la familia y los amigos, pues la vida social que teniamos en España. Eran 10 años muy felices de nuestra vida. Y sé que no ha acabado nuestra "mision" en España, asi que ya podeis haceros la idea que volvamos, si os guste o no! :))
Bueno, pues poco a poco estamos acostumbrandonos y haciendo nuevos amigos o recuperamos antiguas amistades. La verdad que todos se toman mucha molestia a que nos quedemos, y nos ayudan en lo que pueden! Gracias a todos!
Como ya sabeis Jose Carlos esta trabajando desde enero, y le va muy bien. Estan contentos con el y esta haciendo muchos amigos. La propietaria de la empresa hasta nos ha invitado a ir con ella a un concierto en abril con ella.
Lorena va a la guarderia y le gusta mucho, parece ya todo mayor. Todavia estraña mucho a sus primos y amigos, y no entiende mucho que tiene que esperar al verano para ir a verles. En julio vamos a España para la boda de nuestra sobrina y estamos ansiosos de ver a todos otra vez!!
Nerea va creciendo muy rapido tambien y habla muchisimo ya. Es una Piñol acabada, hasta tienes ese pito, siempre gritando! :)) Es muy dificil reñirla porque te mira con esos ojos marrones redondos y cuesta mucho quedarte serio.
Ademas estamos encantados con nuestra "Oma y Opa" (abuelos), mis padres, que nos apoyen muchisimo. GRACIAS!
Once again it's time to let you catch up with our lives.
I did not think that it would cost us/me so much to get used to life in Austria. We miss our family and friends a lot, the social life we had in Spain. They were very happy 10 years of our lives. And I know our "mission" in Spain is not yet over, so you can make the idea that we come back, if you like it or not! :))
Well, we are slowly getting used to life here and are making new friends or recovering old ones. The truth is that everyone took alot of trouble for us to stay and help us as they can! Thanks everyone!
As you know Jose Carlos is working since January and is doing very well. They are happy with him and making a lot of friends. The owner of the company even invited us to go with her to a concert in April.
Lorena goes to Kindergarden and loves it, and she seems all grown-up. She still misses her cousins and friends alot doesn't understand much that she has to wait until summer to go to see them. We're going to Spain in July for the wedding of our niece and we are anxious to see everyone again! Nerea is also growing very fast and talks a lot now. She's a Piñol totally, she has that shouting voice! :)) It is very difficult when you scold her and she looks at you with those big brown eyes and it's hard to stay serious.
We are delighted as well with our "Oma and Opa" (grandparents), my parents, who support us soo much. THANKS!

Nuestros primeros meses en Austria / Our first months in Austria
Bueno, lo siento si no he puesto algo en mucho timepo, pero como la mayoría de vosotros nos seguís en Facebook tambien, pues no me he preocupado mucho. No he parado en ningun momento en los primeros 6 semanas digamos, así que es por eso. Ahora voy recuperando.
No se cuantos Curriculos hemos mandado, especialmente yo, como yo era la que se supone tenía que conseguir un trabajo primero para sacarnos adelante, porque el aleman de Jose Carlos no es demasiado bueno todavia.
El primer mes fue muy duro. No hemos oido nada, no nos salió nada, no teníamos seguro, vivíamos practicamente de mis padres y no queríamos molestar, etc.
Casi queríamos tirar la toalla, pero toda la familia dijo que espararamos por lo menos hasta Navidad, así que decidimos hacer eso. Y entonces en Noviembre por fin por lo menos nos llamaron algunas compañias para ir para una entrevista, que ya era algo. Y vendimos el piso de Elche a uno de nuestros mejores amigos, que era entonces una deuda menos. Así que JoseCarlos se fue a España por una semana a finalizar eso y a traer nuestras cosas en un camion, con 2 grandes amigos, Sami y Hector, quienes se vinieron para acompañarle y a traer el camion de vuelta a España. GRACIAS SAMI Y HECTOR por vuestro gran sacrificio de un viaje muuuy largo, con todo lo que incluyó!!!
Ahora, la gran noticia teníamos esta semana: el primero de Diciembre! JoseCarlos y yo hechamos Curriculum en una empresa de aluminio que necesitaban a alguien con lengua materna español! (lo que oimos de una amiga nueva Gina, GRACIAS GINA!!) Ellos nos dijeron que nos llamarían la semana siguiente, pero al día siguiente ya llamaron a Jose Carlos para ir unos dias despues, el uno de diciembre! Estaban encantados con el! Necesitan a alguien para vender por teléfono a España, Latin America, Inglaterra, Irlanda, lo cual es perfecto para el!!
Y empezará el 4 de enero!!
Well, sorry if I didn´t put anything in here yet. Most of you are on Facebook as well, so I hope you could follow us along anyway. I didn´t stop or relax for the first 6 weeks, so that´s why. Just now I´m catching up with things.
I don´t know how many CV´s we sent, especially me. Because it was me at first who was supposed to get a full-time job for the beginning since Jose´s german is not so good yet.
The first month was very hard, because we didn´t hear anything, nothing turned out, we were without insurance, we were living off my parents basically and didn´t want to bother, etc.
We were about to give up, but all the family said, that we had to wait at least til Christmas, so we decided we would do that. And then in November finally we got some calls at least for interviews, which was at least something. And we sold our town-apartment to one of our best friends, so we had one debt less. Jose went to Spain for a week to finalize that and brought all our stuff in a van to Austria, with 2 friends who drove with him to accompany him and to drive back the van. A whole adventure on its own! Thanks Hector and Sami for that loooong trip with all that that included!!
Now the biggest news we had this week, on the 1st of December: Jose and I dropped our CV´s at a company who were looking for someone with Spanish mother language! (which we heard from a new friend Gina, THANKS GINA!) They told us that the next week they would call us to let us know.... the next DAY they phoned Jose and told him to come in for an interviews a few days later, which was the 1st of December! Well, they were thrilled with him! They need somebody to sell over the phone to Spain, Latin America, England, Ireland, which he is perfect for! And he´s gonna start on January 4th!!!

Grandes cambios / Big changes
Bueno, bueno, bueno. Creí que la proxima entrada sería algo del cole de Lorena, pero sorpresas nos da la vida que en una semana han pasado muchas cosas. Todos sabeis que nos iban las cosas un poquito mal, economicamente, y por eso el ultimo viaje a EEUU y Austria. Pues la semana pasada estabamos orando y ayunando en cuanto que hacer, si no quedabamos a encontrar o montar un restaurante en el local o irnos de España. Pues justo al final del ayuno, me dice Jose Carlos porque no nos vamos a Austria y probamos si conseguimos trabajo ahi? Nos sentimos muy bien con esa decision y asi que nos ponemos a averiguar cosas. Escribo un CV a la empresa donde trabajé hace 10 años y me escriben el dia siguiente que tienen un puesto libre y cuando puedo venir para la entrevista. AAAH!El viernes nos despedimos de mucha gente y me quedé hasta las tres de la madrugada haciendo maletas y a las siete y media nos montamos en el coche y nos fuimos dirección Austria!!
Asi que ya nos hemos empadronado, aqui nos dan tambien ayudas para la familia (para cada hijo que tengas) y espero que nos dan trabajo pronto. No me ha salido el trabajo para que ya tenia la entrevista, pero esperemos y oramos que nos salga algo pronto!!
Well, well, well. I thought that the next thing to put in here would be something about Lorena and school, but life is full of surprises. In one week our lives have changed completely. Like alot of you know, things have not been working out very well, economically, and that was the reason of our last trip to the US and Austria. Well, last week we were praying and fasting about what we should do, if to try to find somebody or put a restaurant ourselves in the unit we have or if we should leave Spain. At the end of the fast, José said, why don´t we go to Austria and try to find a job there! We felt good about that decision and started to find out stuff. I wrote a CV to the company I worked for 10 years ago and the next day I get the answer back that they have something free and when can I come for an interview!! AAHHH!
So Friday we said goodbye to a lot of people and I stayed up until 3 o´clock in the morning to pack and at 7:30 left with the car in direction Austria!!
So, we´re here and registered ourselves, signed up for the help for the family you can get here (for every child you have) and hopefully they give us work soon! Somebody! I didn´t get the job I had the meeting with on Monday but we hope and pray something will come up soon!!
