A blog about what daily life was really like in the Middle East and the daily ramblings of an ex-pat mum. That's how I started the blog. We are now home, so I'm just going to continue with life here. I am a deeply committed Christian. I love to teach about and share my faith so you'll see some of that on the blog as well. Got a comment? Please feel to comment at the end of a post. May our Creator's peace be upon you.

A full year in the Middle East


Wow. I just can't believe it. We've been in the Middle East a full year now. And what a year it's been.


We've acquired a pet rat - Daisy.


We learned the joy of swimming off the coast of Oman.


We experienced Ramadan here.


We roamed the southern coast of Norway (Kristiansand and up to Oslo).


We celebrated with friends at their wedding in Pune, India.


We've made friends (adults and kids) from more countries than I think I could list here.


My kids are learning some Arabic, and Munchkin #2 has had some seriously good exposure to Dutch.


I've had the totally awesome experience of having some truly lovely co-workers. I'm looking forward to the next challenges! I am so grateful to have worked with such great guys (and guys, the chocolates and the pedicure certificate are very appreciated!!!!!).


And, we now have a 70 gallon tank complete with a variety of crabs to get it going.


Less than 48 hours until the home country.


Until I can post again, may your road be interesting and peaceful.
