Trying to camouflage my despair! They are going Riyadh-iculously far away!!
This picture (and it's adorably clever caption courtesy of my cousin) popped up in my Facebook feed today and now I'm all emotional. Tomorrow marks one year of living in Saudi Arabia (and one more to go). This lifestyle is really hard for someone like me who hates adventure and trying new things, but I am so grateful for the opportunity to experience and introduce my children to cultures I barely knew existed before I married into this crazy life my husband chose. I have grown exponentially in the 6 years we've been doing this, but I'm also looking forward to the the day we can settle down and put down roots somewhere. For now I'll take some deep breaths, eat some chocolate and (try to) enjoy the ride.
