Our Weekend

We're counting down the days until Papaw & Grammie arrive. We can't wait and are very excited. So over the weekend we went to buy patio furniture and a grill. I couldn't believe it when the Gentleman said "Oh, we will deliver it today"! To our surprise it was delivered that evening and assembled within an hour or so. Jeremy wasn't feeling very well but he had to break in the grill. He made some awesome hamburgers.

Can you believe it our sea shipment is in!!! Yeah! The moving company delivered it yesterday (Saturday) afternoon. It's amazing how efficient both the moving company/crew are. They had our shipment unloaded and assembled within a few hours. There were no damaged or missing items. Now the Boys can sleep in their own bedrooms. LOL!

I went to get my Bahrain drivers license. It was no big deal at all. I just had to show them my American drivers license, take eye examine and pay $26 bd. However, the lines are long. A friend of mine lived in Saudi for a few years. When she went to get her Bahrain dl she didn't realize that her Saudi drivers license had expired. So it was mandatory for her to take a 32 hr course and of course pay $8 bd/hr. She tried explaining to them that she has been driving for over 25 years. This is an easy way they make their money. Our Realtor was telling me that quite often they don't pass you the first time. This allows them to make you take additional classes. I'm counting my blessings.

  1. Happy 8 Month Birthday to Devin.

  2. It's hard to believe that Devin is 8 months old. He's such a funny little kiddo. You know our competitive family have bets on what will be Devin's first word. Jeremy seems to believe that it will be "No, No, No." Cody has his hopes on Brrrother. And of course, I know that it will be MaMa.
