some memorable dates

Two years have past since I step foot in American soil. It was Sep 9th, 2008, still very well in time to live all the economic crisis and the full epic '08 presidential campaign: Obama vs. McCain. The US Government had just placed Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac under conservatorship of the Federal Housing Finance Agency. At this time, these two companies owned or guaranteed more than half of the US's $12 trillion mortgage market. Any event this post is not to highlight past dates, but future ones!

With no doubt, living abroad is an enriching experience. It has been so, to me! However, it is not without some drawbacks...
For instance, next Saturday a dear friend of mine is getting married, and I won't be able to attend. Therefore, I would like to take this opportunity to wish you, Miguel, all the best. Certain that you're going to have a wonderful ceremony surrounded by family and lots of friends. Although I won't be present in this starting point of your "new" life, you know I will always be there in the road to come!
