It's hard to believe we are finishing our first year in Saudi Arabia. It seems like just yesterday that we arrived in this big "sand box". Our lives have changed drastically over the past year and we couldn't be happier. We enjoy living overseas and all the interesting adventures we have on a daily basis. Trust me, living in another country is like nothing you can imagine unless you've done it. After a while, things that seemed so abnormal in the beginning tend to seem more normal in the end. Situations don't phase you and you almost forget what "normal" is. We've learned how to assimilate to a different culture, speak a few words/phrases of Arabic, became parents to a darling baby boy, and survived our 5th year of teaching. We are excited for summer and all the plans we have, but it's nice to know that we have a welcome place to come back to in the end.
