#10- All the camping I got to do. Whether it be my birthday weekend in Hatta with my friends, quiet nights in the desert with Simon, or prepping for thunderstorms in the USA. I just love nature!
#8-Shrek The Musical- Okay so we didn't actually get to have the elementary musical, but that doesn't mean I can't be grateful for the relationships I built during it and the joy it brought me and the kids.
#7-Wadi Rum- Yeah. Sitting around a fire listening to desert stories, plus seeing some pretty incredible nature.
#6- Making it back to Abu Dhabi from Oman- We were nearly stuck at the border and turned away. I'm pretty sure we would have spent a fortune paying for an apartment, computers to do our work, etc. We would have essentially lived in Oman for 4 months. I'm so glad Simon fought to get us back through. Never did I ever think I would be that relieved to drive into Abu Dhabi.
#5- Meeting Simons Parents, and the whole week we got to spend with them. They certainly got us out of our house and seeing the city. Plus, I feel better know that his mom knows me, considering we are living together and I'm keeping him away from home for longer than he was supposed to be.
#4- Chilling with my brother around his fire in the U.S.A. drinking beer.- It had been a complicated trip home and very different from most of my time home, but I am so grateful that my family got to meet Simon. Plus Simon got his blessing, which is probably the most important one.
#3- Finding out we are going to be living and working somewhere else helped us focus on our goals both individually and as a couple. Ecuador here we come!
#2- Finishing the Marathon- All the effort, the countless mornings of hours of running, the sacrifice of my weekend nights were all worth it.
#1- Simon coming home <3 from Australia- When he walked through my doorI just knew that he is now my life, and partner for forever. Looking forward to all the adventures to come!
