Winter Break

  I would like to start by letting everyone know why my blog posts just stopped.  I wasn't sure anyone was reading them (that is NOT a guilt trip) and then I began to feel weird about posting my life online, if no one was reading it, and then I got busy, and so I just didn't post.  Since I have been back a lot of people have let me know that they were following the posts, so here I am posting again. 

Tomorrow I leave to return to Kuwait, for the second half of my stint there.  The first half was fun, but stressful.  I don't think I realized until I came home how hard it actually was to get used to living there.  The first few weeks were nuts!  Like most times that are stressful though, you do it, because you don't have a choice.  It sucks to get through exams (for example) but you do it, because it's your life and you have to.  It does make me wonder exactly HOW I got through some of those first crazy weeks, but I did. 

I am looking forward to returning to Kuwait.  The best thing about being there is the people that I have met.  One of the things about this experience being hard, is that you make awesome friendships with the other people who are in the "deep end" with you. 

I was in to the school a few times while I was home.  I even got to take in the Christmas Assembly.  Well done all, it was a great time, and special congratulations to Mr Bishop and his "beard".  I have seen some of you at the school, grocery store or pyramid centre while I have been home.  It was great to get even a few minutes to find out how things are.  When you live in St. Marys it sometimes feels like things never change, but go away,even for a little while, and you realize that isn't really true, the world goes round and life goes on, even in our sleepy town. 

That;s it for now fishies.  Have a boo at my blog every now and again (which I promise faithfully to update) and let me know how things are going at DCVI.
