the reason we thought about coming is because of the sept. 11th bombing, my wife's mom, dad and family are scared for her to live here. we we got married her father never wanted her to live here but i"m american so it would be much easlier for us to live life here but now i"m not so sure and the econmony is really bad right now in the states and her mom and dad call almost everyday scared to death and begging us to move there. her dad thinks everything can be made possible with money but that isn't true. i don't want to rely on her family money because we are grown and need our own jobs and income. i mean i love santo dominigo and her family and the store offer was great from her mom but i'm not really into owning a store for kids because that is not really what i want to do for a living. we will just see what happends and pray to god that the states economy gets better and less terrorist living here. like i said, i have fun in the d.r. and love the people and miss all the family, party's and especially the food but i need a job to fill like i fit in and to raise a family in the d.r.
