We are feeling so settled in now with our daily routines that it is hard to think of things to blog about. So we asked our family what to blog about, and they wanted to know more about our daily life.
Sunday-Thursday, Lindsay wakes up at 6 AM and gets ready for work. She leaves at 6:45 and picks up three of her coworkers on the way in. She works until 2:30 on Sundays and Mondays and 12:45 on Tuesdays-Thursdays. It's a pretty sweet deal.
Matt's schedule is pretty much whatever he wants it to be. Sometimes he has appointments to set up people's home networks or fix their various IT problems. He recently bought some software that will allow him to restore lost data (saved Lindsay's broken thumb drive and that was a-MAZING).
Friday mornings Matt usually has branch presidency meetings for the Al Ain branch (of our church - the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints). Church is from 9-12. After church we have choir practice (Lindsay is the branch music chairwoman) and every third Friday we have a pot luck! After church we usually sleep all afternoon.
Saturdays we just love to sleep in, hang out with our friends, play games, watch movies, clean, and go to local events. On National Day, we went to an air show, today we went to the grand opening of the stadium down the street.
We bought a car in November (a 2006 Ford Focus) and it has been great! We paid cash, so we don't have a monthly bill for rental or lease, and gas is cheaper than taking the bus! It costs about $20 to fill an empty tank once a week. Taking the bus was at least $10 a week and that just got Lindsay to and from work.
Here's a video tour of our apartment for you to enjoy!
Here's a video of one of our weekend getaways on a desert safari! We went dune bashing, sand boarding, rode camels (in a circle, but still...), and had an amazing authentic dinner with belly dancing for entertainment! Thanks, Jordan Niedrich, for making the video for us! We love you!
