I’m very sorry for this delayed update; I forget how fast time moves. I am alive! Trying my hardest to soak up my time here in the gulf! Living each day like it’s my last. So for the past weeks I’ve taken part of the following things.
-Losing Ms. Jabeen’s remote to her overhead projector. Eek.
-Starting the photojournalism club in the girls’ school.
-Teaching my boys grammar with songs.
-Taken care of the visit part of my physical examination to receive a residency permit.
-Attending a comedy evening.
-Learning so much about the Arab world. It's beautiful, crazy, strong and deep!

-Attending the Doha Independent Film Festival. It was amazing! Check out “The Lady” (independent film)
-Hanging with the beautiful Amy Byrd in Dubai.
-Ate at Texas Roadhouse (We make sure everyone knew we were from Texas). The manager is from the roadhouse in Arlington by Aunt Fredia’s house. It’s a small world. While enjoying my chicken fried chicken (thank you Southern States for this creation) the Asian waiter broke into a line dance-honestly a moment I will never forget.
-Watching Amy love on her awesome kids!
-Purchased candles from Bath and Body Works (thanks Amy)
-Saw the tallest building in the world.
-“Marking” (as the Brits call grading) paper after paper.
-Creating power points and other fun ways to help my second language learners grow!
-Straighten my own hair (took forever) I grabbed Kate’s scissor/gave myself a trim.
-Growing in excitement because I will soon have a brother!!!
-Learning to take things one day at a time.
Tomorrow we are taking the girls school on a field trip to Katara-check it out. katara.net
Please update me with your life- I miss you guys!
I just returned from Eid break. This eid celebrates a trip to the Mecca.
