Well hello everyone. I am not very faithful about blogging lately. My life in Saudi has fallen into a routine. That is ok. Tim and I are blessed to be here together and have this experience. I used to have a desire to travel the world and go everywhere.... just around the corner.... now I appreciate home. :) Right now our home is on a compound in Saudi Arabia in the middle of a big city. I have met many Saudis.... many national, workers from other countries working here in Saudi, and many westerners, also working here in Saudi. Tim's working for a company here that works with the Saudi's and I am fortunate to be able to fill my time in by helping at a nearby school. We both get up.... enjoy a little hockey on the TV via the internet.... catch up on our reading.... and social networks... via the internet... and then we are off to work. We come home and find some activity to occupy the early evening... such as exercise... or shopping.... we play hockey one night a week (YEAH!) .... I get to play in the schools orchestra one evening a week.... I even have ladies over one morning for a study.... then we relax watching old TV shows we have have collected and then we go upstairs and read and fall to sleep.... There you have it our routine. 314d 17h 06m..... is the countdown on the computer till the end of Tim's contract here.... but again...we consider it to have been a blessing. My early morning walking partner is here.... gotta go. Have a great day and be blessed!
