It might be time for an update

It has been far too long since I’ve written as usual. The problem is, well, it’s just been too long since I’ve written! There is so much that has happened and as I think back over all of it and how much I haven’t written about it makes it that much harder to start. Something about today though has me motivated. It’s nice out, there is a cool breeze, it feels like fall! The town is full again as people have returned from their summer retreats. Mostly people go visit their families in other parts of the country especially during the month of Ramadan. Now that school has started back up though, “play time is over! It’s time to work.”

I am very excited to start work again after a long relaxing summer of summer camps, weekend getaways, Ramadan, family visits, mountain climbing and a lovely trip to France. However, the children seem far more intimidating this year than they did last year, if that is possible. They are everywhere. Most of them are polite enough. They say hi, shake my hand or kiss me on the cheek and then giggle a little as I go by. There are a couple children that without fail, the second they see me, run up and greet me. Those are my favorites! I imagine once I get reacquainted with them I’ll feel better, Inchallah!

So I guess now I’ll break this down into some things that I’ve done over the summer and post them as separate posts:

Rose Festival

Summer Camp

Ramadan
