* Yesterday was our last day of classes and today we had open review day - a day that is optional for students. Students are supposed to come in to ask specific questions related to exam material. Instead, we usually see them running around in really nice outfits, taking selfies with their BFF's. One of the "specific" questions I had today was, "MISS, really I want a picture with you for my instagram, PUH-LEASEEEEE!!!!!!" Haha.
* Phil and I resigned from our current teaching positions on Monday this week. The good news is that we only remained job-less for about 36 hours before signing new contracts at a different school in Kuwait! The new school is more family-oriented and the benefits package takes good care of dependents. It is such a relief knowing that Nory will be taken care of financially - by people other than US! Haha. We will be moving to a brand new building that houses many families with young children. I think it is a great move for us :)
* It's been cold here. NO JOKE! We're talking 4 degrees and indoor recesses COLD! I suppose it is good training for our trip that is approaching....
* ONE WEEK UNTIL MY BIRTHDAY! Am I the only almost-28-year-old that still ADORES this special day? I'm not sure if I love it because it's my birthday or because it marks only 6 more days until Christmas. In the midst of the holiday season, growing older just doesn't seem to bother me....
* Yesterday, "ELVES" left a Christmas gift in my mailbox at school. It came with a wonderful letter to Nory that explained how she must wear the pajamas she unwrapped on Christmas Eve so that Santa can find her. You can bet they will be the first thing that goes in the suitcase ;)
* As the flight approaches, I am getting a wee bit worried about how Nory will make out. She is as happy as a clam but the problem is that she never, ever sits still. I anticipate many new friends on the flight to Copenhagen and one heck of an airborne workout. Oh - and lots of jewelry. I don't normally bring much with me when we travel, but long necklaces, bracelets, etc. all have some distracting effect on our daughter. In fact, I might even INSIST that the other ladies in our party wear as much BLING as possible. Phil might get lucky with some too. GO TEAM!
* MAY DAY! There are like......ZERO STARBUCKS LOCATIONS.....with any gingerbread lattes left in Kuwait. We have a ba-zillion Starbucks and we've had ZERO luck at any location in the past week. What gives?! Will we need to switch to Costa?
* My husband, THE COACH, has four weekends in the next couple of months where he will be out of country for sporting events. THREE of those weekends fall exactly in a row.....(haaaa!!!!!)
* Tomorrow the plan is: CHRISTMAS SHOPPING. There is no other time left to get the job done!
