Back to Kuwait

Tonight, I head back to Kuwait and to my dear husband who has held down the proverbial fort for 2 weeks by himself. After a busy but relaxing time here, I'm ready to go back again. My flight from Pittsburgh is at 5:30pm, and I should arrive in Kuwait around 9:30pm (1:30pm EST). Thankfully, the weather is warmer today, so I hope I don't have any snow or ice delays.

I had a great time in Pennsylvania with everyone, so thanks! And, Happy New Year!

5 years


On December 18th, Chris and I marked our 5th wedding anniversary. Where has the time gone? I guess it goes fast, since we couldn't be happier.

"...I knelt before God, and praised and thanked him, with happy tears, for His great mercy in giving me the love of so good a man. If I had known, then, how good he was, and how great he would become, I would have been overwhelmed..."
- Susannah Spurgeon, about her husband, Charles

Christmas time!





We have one week of school left before the "winter break," which everyone knows is for the western teachers to have Christmas and New Year's off of work. I put up a few little decorations in light of the season, and rearranged the sitting room while I was at it.
