Visitors!

So October is almost over. Wow. Where did it go? It has started to feel more like Fall. Granted I don't see leaves changing into any vibrant colors. But as one of the Jordanian coaches I work with put it, everything is different-over the course of 3 days people have changed what they wear, what they eat, and are all happy that summer is officially over.

With November around the corner I anticipate the arrival of many guests. Let the good times roll. :) First April comes at the end of November, then MY BROTHER! yay! and childhood friend Jesse for Christmas! As well as Joy and Madi! Can't wait to see you all! And then... once Spring Break rolls around I'll get to see the parents! And Camille! Can't wait to see you, sissy! And possibly/hopefully Amelia!!

Now if only I could convince Carla and Kimmie to come...

Sana Wahed! [year one!]

Yesterday marked one year from when I sat foot off the plane into the Middle East. Looking back now, it is amazing how much that first year flew and how much I love it.

If you had told me just a few years ago I'd be living in the Middle East I would of thought you were crazy. But my love for it grows and grows everyday.

For those of you who don't know, the gymnastics federation was impressed with my work (By His grace alone) and have offered me a year residency to continue coaching. I'm now working with the National team 6 days a week as well as training a few girls at a local school during their P.E. hours. It's a lot of work. But I love when I'm coaching and another athlete comes up behind me to give me a hug. Or the approval they so seek after each skill. Granted, they hate it when I punish them with 40 pushups or make them condition...but it's amazing just how quickly and how much I love my little ones!
