Mabruuk habibi!!!* مبروك حبيبي*

Ty has been accepted to do his CELTA next year, starting October. This means he'll have to drive to Abu Dhabi three times a week over a few months, but the upside is that we will officially be a (very marketable) "teaching couple".... which just opens up more options for us down the road.

A big مبروك to Ty, حبيبي.

Last week, we had a rather large crowd over for a housewarming party. It was a great way to get to know people a bit better. Having spent so much time at the hotel, we are still feeling a bit like newcomers to the town in general.

Plans for Canada are coming along well too. We've got a lot of people to see, and I *am* nerdy enough to have made a big itinerary/calendar thing... Which I hope to finalize this weekend and then send it off!

*Congratulations, my love
