Today, I had a date with Abeer. We usually get together as a family and let the boys play. But today it was a treat to get to spend the day with just her. She took me to the souq Mubarakya in the downtown area. We shopped for a few items, then stopped for a delicious meal in the souq.
Pomegranate, pomegranate, pomegranate…on hummus and salad, it was so tasty!
And lots of delicious meats!
With any good meal, there is lots of good talking. It is so interesting to hear about her life growing up here, and being able to ask questions about the culture. Abeer went to Indiana University, so we have fun talking about things from back home, how adorable Marissa's little baby Henry is, and she and Nathan get to reminisce about college days when we get together.Afterwards, we went back to the house, and she got to see Nathan and the boys. Caleb was running around, but Ben stopped for some good cuddling.
We had a fun day and will plan to do it again soon!

The souq is such an interesting place. Great that just the two of you were available to go there alone and enjoy some time together. The meal looks fabulous, and the best part was you could enjoy it without interruption.
Thanks for keeping us up-to-date on Kuwaiti activities.
Love, Dad and Mom P.
Looks yuuuuuuumy. Oh my....we had meatloaf and roasted potatoes... ...blah, blah, blah...oh so boring. Girls, Saturdays and Shopping...It's a good thing. And final reward, cuddling with Benjamin :)
Perfect Ladies Day Out - good friends, lots of reminiscing, fun shopping, delicious food and cuddle time with sweet Ben. Happy you could spend the day together. Very Special.
