Year in Review: 2015

What a year it has been. We thought that 2015 might be a little less stressful than 2014. Boy, were we wrong. Here are the highlights in case you missed them. You could also consider this the digital version of our Christmas letter if we didn't have your address.

Summer vacation in Tennessee

Key Moments of 2015:

• Arrival in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia
• Horseback riding in the desert
• Our stuff arrived!
• Greg became a tenured member of the Foreign Service

Little known fact: The Red Sea is not red.

• Day trip to Moon Mountain and an Ottoman Fortress
• Family Vacation to Dubai, United Arab Emirates
• Taking some Rest and Relaxation (R&R) and celebrating birthdays in Canada, Virginia, Florida, Tennessee and Paris

Can you really call it R&R if you don't go to the beach?

• Our older daughter started First Grade, the younger one started Pre-K3.

Trick or Treat!
