Making a Move

I've been bad at blogging recently- too much other stuff on my mind. The primary thing on my mind is that fact that in a couple of weeks, I'm moving to Saudi Arabia for two years for work. Though I'm excited, I'm also a little freaked out by the fact that (a) I have to have everything ready for the packers next Monday, (b) life in the Kingdom is going to be much more restrictive than Kuwait was which could make for a stressful couple of years, and (c) in September my husband will make be joining me marking the start of our adventure in living together.

My brain feels like a gerbil on a wheel- I'm getting maybe 3 hours of troubled sleep a night because I just can't stop my mind. I'm sad to be leaving all my friends here in DC and can't believe all the things I wanted to do that I didn't in the five years I've been home. I'm sure I'll be patchy at best for the next few weeks online, but imagine that once I'm moved into my house in Saudi and have regular internet access, I'll have more to say.

Wish me luck- I'm going to need it!

I don't think I realized you are going to Saudi! Which post, and what section? I was there for my last tour...

Good luck, take care of you! I understand the "hamster on a wheel" feeling -- hope you can start to get some rest! And hope all goes well with the move and the new era of "Life Together"!

Good luck with the move and the next post! Wow, Saudi! Intense! So, will you have to have a male escort everywhere? I'm sad to see you leave our fair city (and we've never even met in person...no matter!)
