Happy New Year family and friends! What a blessed year 2015 has been for our family! We spent January through June in Kuwait. We have great memories riding along and watching the crazy camel races, a trip to the desert, exploring the souq, long walks along the gulf, trips to the zoo, aquarium, and many parks. We are thankful for this unique opportunity, and have many great memories of our time living in the desert.
In June, we transitioned back to the US, and we thoroughly enjoyed the time we got to spend with family and friends in Virginia, Illinois, and Florida. Highlights of our time in the US was celebrating the 4th of July with Nathan's extended family and Caleb's 4th birthday, trips to Holiday World and Disney World, playing with grandparents and cousins, many trips to the beach, pool, eating lots of ice cream, and having lots of time for the boys to play outdoors.
In mid-August, our family moved to Amman, Jordan, where we will be for the next 3 years. My mom traveled with us and stayed for a few weeks to help us get settled. Over the past few months, we have enjoyed exploring and soaking in the beauty of this place. We have taken trips to Mt. Nebo, the Baptism site, Madaba, Jerash, Ajloun, Umm Qais, and recently explored Petra and Wadi Rum with Nathan's cousins.
To celebrate new year, we went out for pizza and are watching movies indoors on this cold and sleety day, and waiting for morning to play in the snow...
So much to be thankful for and excited for what God has in store for each of us in 2016. Wishing you a blessed day and year to come!
