Hello Everyone!

Sorry it's been forever. We have been to the UK and Paris and back. They were both amazing. Being home reminded us how much we miss everyone, but we spent a lot of time with Chris' parents and caught up with a few friends =) It was also nice to feel normal...but cold. When we left Dubai, it was 80F, when we landed in the UK, it was 30F...Luckily, Dad sent over my down coat from Ohio.





Paris was beautiful. All of the lights were up for Christmas, people were friendly and in the holiday spirit, and there were hardly any people at the usually busy sights...

Since we've been back, we went on a desert safari with friends. The experience is almost indescribable. I have always been a bit of a scaredy cat, but somehow in the last year, I have pushed my limits...and so has Chris! We went dune bashing, to a camel farm, rode a camel, ate an arabic feast, had henna put on our hands, and smoked some sheesha.


That's about all that's new. We have another break for Christmas. We are having dinner with friends, watching films, and relaxing.

Merry Christmas everyone! We miss and love you sooooooooo much!!!
