Wadi Arbaeen take 3

This kid loves this wadi. He's lost his adaptation to cold water though. He actually gets cold now. We got a group together and headed out to hike the wadi even though it wasn't super warm. Sadly, on the way one of the cars broke down and a couple of friends weren't able to go. The rest of us carried on though and had a great time and even a few scary adventures.

I wish these girls had hiking buddies but they were good sports going along as the youngest in the group. They group was honestly really awesome about it too. They don't seem to mind. I think sometimes it helps keep things to a pace everyone can handle. 
Remember that falaj? I don't know if I got a pictures from this angle. It gets a little iffy and close to the edge sometimes.

Cameron is often up to adventure with us. He also takes Samuel hiking. The Robert's live just down from us.
So glad Alena consented to join us.

Farewell

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 ...
