Today is Valentine Day and guess what? I got to talk to Tim on our new phone in Saudi!!! Yeah!!! I  was driving home from my visit to my mom, who lives in Wisconsin. I had just tried our number to see if the internet was up in Jeddah at out new home. I had gotten a voice mail which meant it was not working yet and then about 30 seconds latter I got a call from Tim.... he had just plugged our Jeddah internet phone in. Ha! Even around the world we are still on the same wave length... :) We must have talked for a good hour....It was close to bed time for him and early afternoon for me. I finally hung up and then called him back as I realized I had not wished him a happy Valentine Day. :) He loves our new place and had lots of great stories already.... He had lots of good advice for me for when I fly into country. He is not looking forward to driving in Jeddah but it does not look like an option. He will be staying around the compound this weekend... which is Thursday and Friday  in Saudi .... not Saturday and Sunday. He will do a bit of shopping off compound. He is already picking up the language and is getting used to Saudi time..... oomshalah.....not the correct spelling but that is how it sounds to my tin ear.... in means God willing... you ask when something might get done and it is always...oomshalah.... Ha! Well more to come.... Keep tuned in to the "Great Adventure"!
