It's been a while since we've posted, mainly because we've been in a holding pattern. We are thoroughly enjoying ourselves out here at the Spaulding compound with the chickens and donkey and cousins. The kids are swimming almost daily, I have invaded Becky's craft room, and poor Jason has been working. He tries not to get irritated when he comes home from a long day at work and we're lounging around drinking pina coladas and swimming in the pool.
We have checked off almost everything on our international To Do list- passports are done, international drivers license obtained, Texas and US document authentications are done, UAE document authentication is being processed. Still to do- background check and multiple passport-sized photos for each of us.
I still don't have my flight information, but have been assured and emailed that the information will be forthcoming in the coming weeks. I have to keep reminding myself that A.) It's Ramadan and B.) Things run slower over there. We're still hoping for flights around August 10th, and have been planning around that tentative date.
Along those lines, we have planned our big Burgess Going Away party for August 3!! It is going to be 'MURICA!!!! themed. Cheesy 'Murica clothing is a must! If you didn't yet receive the Evite, it's probably because I don't have your email address. Email me or comment so I can add you.
You guys really should check out visitabudhabi.com. It's really cool.
Peace out!
