Well it has been a little while since my last post! I'm going to try to summarize what we've been up to.
To commemorate the end of the school year, the school provided lunch for all of the teachers. There was no silverware, plates, etc so we had to eat the traditional way - with our hands. The below picture is the after for our table. Each table had this exact platter. #Experience #StayOpenMinded #NewForMe
Mutton and rice
The school year ended with exams. They tried a different way to give exams. They put all Grade 6 and 8 in the gym and each teacher was responsible for 1 row. At first glance it looks overwhelming but it was such a smooth process.
I have been trying my hand at cooking more. I've realized that I love to cook! So below are a few things that I've made.
Swedish chicken meatballs over tri color fusilli pasta
Garlic Scallops
Zucchini CheesyBread
Chicken Rollatini (Before)
Chicken Rollatini (After)
Chicken Rollatini (Before the Final Bite)
Mike loves to swim. I think I've said that before. So, we have spent a lot of time at the pool!
Our school will have more students next year so they are renovating our school. It's supposed to be done before school starts back. The cleaners and workers emptied every class and all of the classroom furniture is in the middle meeting area. They moved so fast!
On July 4 our tower flew a US flag.
There is so much to do here. In Charlotte we have a theater called Studio Movie Grill where you can order food at your seat. It's really nice. Here, there is a theater called Vox. Vox has many options for watching movies. One of them is called Theater by Rhodes. This theater is similar to Studio Movie Grill. The difference is the seats recline and they provide pillows and blankets. We bought the packages that includes an appetizer, main course, dessert, a cold beverage, and a hot beverage! I was only able to get pictures of our appetizers because the lights were off by the time our main course and desserts came. It doesn't even matter what movie is playing as long as we do Theatre by Rhodes again!

The last day of the official school year we went to Bahrain for a quick vacation. We enjoyed the Airport Lounge before take off. Bahrain was a nice and relaxing trip.

Mike brought his golf clubs with him to Abu Dhabi. He and some of his friends have been going to the range and the course weekly. Most of his friends have gone home or on trips for most of the summer. So, the day for the Golf Range came around and guess who was his fill in for company at the range? Yep, ME! I enjoyed the sunset more than anything else!
The dance team I used to work with before coming here had a teacher to replace me but due to some circumstances she's no longer their teacher. So, guess who is their teacher? Yep, ME! I send tutorial dance videos, they learn them, and then they dance every 4th Sunday at their church. Click here to see a video of them! Below is a culminating video I sent them for one of their dances.
I believe you're all caught up now. We have been talking about starting a Youtube Channel so stay tuned for that. And like always Be Uniquely You and Be Kind To One Another!
