You're looking at the new and improved KUWAIT CREW (minus Coco The Great - although we wish she could be with us too)!!!! Barring any issues related to the confirmation of a work visa, Dana will be joining us in Kuwait for the upcoming school year and we couldn't be more thrilled!
I've told you before how gosh darn OPPOSITE Dana and I are, but there's something comforting about having people abroad with you who know EXACTLY what you're missing back home. You know, someone who understands the great taste of bagged 2% milk, yet understands the hassles of replacing a bag that's gone empty (where are the scissors and is the new bag of milk REALLY at the bottom of the leftovers in the fridge?!). Someone who sees all the little apartment dogs in the desert and knows that they are hardly considered dogs at all in some parts (or houses!) of the world. Someone who is perfectly okay with a spoon and a jar of Kraft Peanut Butter as an appetizer, bedtime snack, or a meal. Someone who can genuinely say they miss the snow-shoveling, snow-fort-building, snowman-making days of our childhood, yet genuinely DOES NOT MISS the FREAKING cold, freezing rain, and poor driving conditions. Someone who knows that the Polar Express MUST BE READ - teacher style - every single Christmas Eve, NO MATTER WHAT (some might call this a legal requirement). Someone who understands the value in a turkey on special occasions (and can actually make one!!!!). Someone who believes that you should be able to walk out your front door and go for a walk, rather than drive 10 minutes to do the exact same thing....
It's going to be great. And as we were walking together the other morning, getting icecream today, and having a pool party this afternoon, it became quite clear that little Miss Nory is going to love having her Aunt Dana with us too!!!
Fingers crossed all of the important stuff gets taken care of....and the four (and a half) of us are off to Kuwait in August!!!!!! WE LOVE YOU DOODLE!!!!!!!! xoxo
