This year has been one of the most exciting years of my entire life. I attended a school in DC to learn how to adapt to life overseas in the State Department. I said goodbye to all of my friends and family and moved half way around the world to Qatar. I've made fabulous new friends, worked at a US Embassy, traveled to Thailand, played with monkeys, rafted down a Thai river, rode an elephant, my best friend in the whole world is having a baby, went camping on the coast of Saudi Arabia, swam in the Arabian Sea and so much more that I'm sure I'm leaving out. I've been lucky enough to have done this all with my best friend and husband, Brian. This year has definitely been an experience and I'm glad that we've gone through these events together.
Enough mooshy stuff.
So, for Christmas we had about 10 people over. Jen made the turkey and I made: green bean casserole, hash brown casserole, cornbread stuffing and cheesy broccoli rice goodness. It was a good time, but we all had to work the next day, so we didn't stay up too late imbibing.
Tonight is New Year's Eve. We are going to a friend's house across the compound from our villa to bring in the new year. I'm going to make seven-layer dip and guacamole to bring some Texas to Qatar. :) I'm hoping next year will bring us more excitement and travels. As of now, we have a Eurotrip planned for a few weeks in March, I'll be coming home to TX to meet my quasi-niece/nephew-Earls in late June and we are going to Albania in September for our friends' wedding. It's already looking like an exciting 2013!
Wish you were here! :)
