IT'S GOOD TO BE HOME!

What can I say,
except that it's been busy around here!
As a "REPAT", I have immersed myself in things
that I never got to do in Dubai!
Things like painting, cleaning, gardening....
and I have honestly 
LOVED IT!
Well, except for the cleaning!  
But it's been fun digging in the dirt
and painting a room or two!
I am sooooo grateful for our downsized house 
with its downsized yard!
(Makes it all quite manageable!)

But the best part of being a "REPAT":

...When Jonathan gets home from work and 
tells me about his day!
...When Jas and Chloe drop by for a quick visit!
...When I see Shallie running through her back yard!
...When John's brother, Jimmy, stops in to catch up with us on his way home from Florida!
...When I get calls & texts throughout the day!
...When I attend my awesome Tuesday Night Yoga class!
...When I meet friends for lunch (with Shallie) and go 
walking on the Monon Trail! 
(which I'm about to do in approximately six hours!)

Yes, I miss my life as an EXPAT.
I miss Dubai and I miss all 
the awesome friends we made there.

But I can still say, 
(even though it's only been 2.5 weeks), 
that  
IT'S GOOD TO BE HOME!

GOOD NEWS * BAD NEWS

GOOD NEWS!
(We ordered beer with lunch at a little cafe!)



BAD NEWS! 
(This isn't white sand from the Arabian Sea, people!)


OH JOY!

Today I joined a gym.
OH JOY!
It's a necessity after living four years in
DUBAI!
OH JOY! OH JOY! OH JOY!
