2007 was a great year for us. We returned to the US this August. It was a wonderful experience to live in Qatar, but we are happy to be home. We had some great adventures, lots of learning experiences, and made many wonderful friends. We are so glad we had the opportunity to be there. (For more info, check our past blog entries.)As many of you know, Jon has applied to be an officer in the US Air Force. We were hoping to have some official news by now, but we are still waiting to hear back from them. Living in Doha taught us patience, so we are willing to wait. For now, we are enjoying the flexibility of our “in between stage” and the time with family and friends.
We both have used this as an excuse to work our “dream jobs” part-time: Jon at REI and Emily at Barnes & Noble. We pretty much just love it for the discounts, but it has been a lot of fun. Jon is also working for UPS. Emily will be looking for a different job after the holidays.
At this time of year, we are most grateful for our wonderful friends and family. We hope you are doing well and wish you the best for 2008.
With love, Jon & Emily
