It's been a pretty ok week.
Friday was a carol service at church and then I went out to eat with three friends which was a lot of fun! We had cake and milkshakes for dinner. At the Lemontwig Cafe in Ibn Batutta. (Yes, I know it's Limetree....we had a very hilarious time.)

sorry, it's blurry - Me, Chelsea, and J by the Christmas trees in Ibn Batutta =)

I love this picture. Alice in Wonderland rocks.
curiouser and curiouser.


Sunday we went to the desert with friends visiting from Bahrain, but it was cut short by lack of a proper 4 wheeler to accompany us, as you need to have more than one car to go out. Was an adventure though and we broke one of the tow ropes haha.

We've been getting ready for Christmas...wrapping presents and I've been drawing lots of cards. It's still warm though except for in the evening when it's "cool." Kind of. Doesn't feel like traditional Christmas but this is home and it's still a Christmas.

Last night we sang Christmas carols in Safa Park with a bunch of friends.
People are arriving home from uni already! It's awesome.


Like the Actors - Eisley EP is out today! Go buy it on iTunes, you won't be sorry =)

love,

We are seriously so spoiled here! Last night after volleyball we all just decide randomly to walk down to the beach. Why not? It was dark and we all just ran along on the sand goofing off and talking, looking at the Burj Al Arab lighting up and the houses on The Palm a couple miles away.
Earlier I'd walked with Lilybeth and Ash to the 'haunted house,' an old abandoned and vandalized villa, where we took pictures and crawled around it as usual. It's been a good place for several pranks over the past year.

Today a plan for going to the desert fell through but we put up the Christmas tree and had fun as a family, and are going out to dinner tonight (Chinese hot-pot) with another couple families from church. Tomorrow is paintballing! Eeee!

Yesterday was very "cracking" as Cathy would say - lovely British friend. After church we went out for noodles and Starbucks at Mall of the Emirates and had a really fun time. We always get into very deep conversations which is good for both of us. Getting us together it's impossible to avoid! Philip likes to come up to us and interrupt saying "and then it exploded and they all died in a purple cloud of smoke, and the conversation came to an abrupt end." =P

Then was volleyball and walking to the beach, and Daniel jumping (more like pathetically sliding) into the pool, and then I had a really good talk on the phone with Caylen, which I needed. I'm doing a lot better than I have for awhile, and am SO excited about this whole month!!

Right now I'm readying my first Blythe clothes auctions.

Hope y'all are doing well.
