Adventures Continue

Matt was leaving for the States for a while so we went out to the Souq and a family Juice place.
He was barely gone for an hour when my car started acting up. Thankfully my friend Mo took a look and helped me out. We added oil and got an oil change and it was fine.
Swim team wrapped up. Brigham had a good year. Coach Kuhlke left after this year so Michelle put this together for him.
Relay team.
We found out a classmate of Elise's lives close to us. I wish I'd known sooner!
Playdate with Sayuri.
Farewell luncheon with Embassy Folks. 
Arabic lessons continue.
Yummy Dill Pizza.

Alena had some friends over to watch her favorite 'Pirates of the Caribbean'. They'd never seen it, but with all the hype Johnny Depp got recently in his trial, they were interested. I'm really glad she's found some fun people to hang out with.

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

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 ...
