Hooray!
thanks guys. It is really great to be at home again. I am so excited!
Welcome BACK! I have been so busy and haven't been able to make the blog rounds. Glad you are on US soil again. It's refreshing, no?
Hi! I just wanted to say how great it has been to find your blog. I am an american in Sweden considering Al Ain for a year or so, and your blog gives me exactly the perspective we need to get a feel for how it would be! It has been a huge part of how we weigh the decision, and I wanted to thank you for so beautifully documenting your adventures. A feminist librarian with a love for etsy from Ohio at home with a small kid who sepnt a year in Al Ain....the perfect reviewer for our family! I hope you have enjoyed your move back home and you are full of happy sunny memories from your time abroad.
