Sidab Sea Hike

I personally feel more comfort knowing God is aware of me than any other consolation. This week was rough. Lot of stress. I had some really sweet moments to move me along. One was my friend Emily messaging me to let me know I could join in on Lynne's newest Institute class. I'm so excited to do that on Tuesday evenings. The other was getting an invitation from Jill to join her for a hike at the same moment my Arabic class was canceled. 
Can I load my kids onto the bus and be ready in 10 minutes? Well, yes I can. It  was a little discombobulated but I made it. It was amazing! Great conversation and a bit of conservation work cleaning up a few of the beaches.
Incredible views. The picture above and the picture below were taken from the same spot. Oceans in both directions.

There are many remote and random cemeteries in Oman. We saw two on this hike. It's hard to see from this angle but I wonder who was laid in these 4/5 little plots. Who comes to see the ring of rocks continues to outline their fate? Life is unpredictable. I just have to try every day and be grateful for the humility I'm being taught. Grateful for each day I'm given and hope I can live up to my potential and show my family love and grace. I'm so grateful that I can have little divine boosts of encouragement along the way.

Farewell

Image
My kids and I have made the best friends while we were here in NoVa. It's been a little heart wrenching to say good-bye. Thankfully it was packed full of friend time so that the girls hardly even had time to notice that we were saying good-bye. I will forever be thankful for the women and men who made all this possible. You will each be missed and I can only anticipate when next our paths cross.

Meet the Poulsons

Image
We've had several new families move in, both to the Embassy and church! The Poulsons are an instant fit. They have a missionary, a BYU Freshman, and kids Brigham's age. They also love to adventure and are a lot of fun! We did some snorkeling, some paddle boarding, beach combing and tried to rescue a dead turtle that looked like it had recently died in a fishing net. We took them to Bimah Sinkhole and White Sands Beach. She wanted to jump but yet, she didn't. It's always a guessing game for her courage.

A Red Carpet Moment

Image
The opening of the musical season at the Opera House made my heart beat fast. I wanted to have something formal to wear if I ever needed it so I had a dress made. I was incredibly nervous about the whole procedure but also pleased with the results. Matt bought me tickets to see Rigoletto.  As excited as I was, the production was incredible! I'm still dreaming about it and even Matt loved it-he doesn't like opera. After getting a beautiful dress i was super nervous about how to get me up to par. The toll my hair loss had taken is really tragic for me. It was doing better until the most recent episode Elise shared with me after catching it in Egypt. While it wasn't perfect, It was better than I'd thought.  It didn't really turn out like I thought but it worked. While the dress is beautiful, it doesn't really flatter my figure. It's a LOT of dress. I was excited to show Matt around the opera house but he was maybe a little uncomfortable. I have no idea why. He ...
