http://ifyougiveateacherapassport.blogspot.com/2013/02/a-sight-for-sore-eyes.html
Wednesday, February 20, 2013. A Sight for Sore Eyes. I love puns. And word play. Well folks, it's been awhile. And like a long overdue phone call, this will be a brief (visual) update of the past 7 (yikes! Did I mention Mitry and I are engaged? Yup No big deal. Such a minor deal that my parents only flew half way around the world to be in Lebanon for the occasion. Outside our reception venue. Engagement dinner with friends and family. Kate's bachelorette party in Chicago. Visit with Grandma and Grandpa.

If You Give a Teacher a Passport: November 2010

Tuesday, November 30, 2010. There were about 15 of us celebrating and we all went around the room to say what we were thankful for. I of course said I was thankful for my family and friends back home, this amazing opportunity to work abroad, and for my new friends who have become my family away from home. Not everyone was as cheesy, but it was great to keep the tradition alive! The next afternoon, I went to another dinner with some co-workers and ate even more delicious food! To attend the 4th Annual UAE...

Saturday, October 29, 2011. We keep moving forward, opening new doors, and doing new things, because we're curious and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths. Yes, the rumors are true.I moved into a new apartment. And no, I was not required to move or had any major reason to move, I just wanted to. But after all the hoops and drama I have had to deal with because of this decision, I'm not so sure it was the best move. The building is a part of a new island development known as. Walking into my bedroom.

Sunday, December 18, 2011. Home for the Holidays. Close your eyes and tap your heels together three times. And think to yourself.there's no place like home." - Glenda the Good Witch. Chrissy and her cake (thanks to Mitry). Mitry's company also had their annual dinner and this year it was at the Saadiyat Beach Golf Club. I met a lot of his co-workers and some of the company partners and big wigs who apparently knew all about me! We also went to Creamfields. My student teacher also finished her placement a...

Sunday, March 25, 2012. 2012 Leagues Under the Sea. Three tomatoes are walkin' down the street. Papa Tomato, Mama Tomato and Baby Tomato. Baby Tomato starts lagging behind, and Papa Tomato gets really angry. Goes back and squishes him and says: "Ketchup.". Whoops. Behind again. I will try and make this a brief overview of what has been going on over here. A great year with a great person. Looking forward to many more great years. Triple Birthday Brunch girls: Happy birthday to us! Volvo Ocean Race boats.

Sunday, October 10, 2010. Fast and the Furious: Abu Dhabi Drift. A few videos of the car show/extreme sports show at the Exhibition Center next to my hotel. I didn't actually go, but managed to scam these. A lot has happened since my last post; I finally moved out of the hotel and into my new apartment! We all ended up having a great time; there was lots of food, lots of drinks, and even lots of dancing! Hopefully we will be allowed back. The entry; the kitchen. The living room; my bedroom. You have to b...

Monday, May 21, 2012. I haven't done a blog like this in awhile, but I am feeling nostalgic. So here are my top 10 things (in no particular order) I am looking forward to this Iowa summer (some major events not included due to location haha.). Whatever. Pumped for Target. 2 Walks with my mom. There might be bats and mosquitoes but we have some good life chats during those walks. That is, when I don't get grumpy about going. I am very lazy. 3 Harley laying next to me on the couch. 4 I love food,. How I mi...

Monday, November 28, 2011. For each new morning with its light,. For rest and shelter of the night,. For health and food, for love and friends,. For everything Thy goodness sends. November was another busy month. The city was gearing up for the Formula 1 races (get it? Eid, and for the American expats, Thanksgiving! It was an amazing concert and Sir Paul can still rock his socks off. Check out the photos here. Arriving at the campsite. Morning swim and view of the campsite. And I started the rest of the ...

Thursday, March 3, 2011. It's the end of the world as we know it. February is merely as long as is needed to pass the time until March."- Dr. J. R. Stockton. Is it possible to have the winter blues in a place showered in perpetual sunshine? The answer is YES. I'm sure an oversupply of snow promotes heavier blues, but you Iowa folk should probably stop complaining so much. You know how difficult constant 75-80 degree daytime temps and night time temps of 60 can be? Slightly chaotic. That was our trip&...
