Sorry I miseed last week. Blogger website decided it did not want to come up last Sunday, and I never did get around to posting during the week. Here are the highlights since I last posted...
On Wednesday, October 28th it rained. I think this is the first time in 9 months that it had rained in Kuwait. Granted it was a nice summer sprinkle- but it actually rained! Yes, I did go outside and sang and danced in the rain! :^)
I received the official offer for my new job on Friday, October 30th- Wahoo! I accepted the position on Monday and am currently trying to get everything wrapped up to leave. There is always so much to do when moving!!! Anyway, I will be heading back to Denver, CO and working for a contractor in support of the Forest Service. I'm excited! I had leave already planned at the end of November, so the job offer timing could not have been more perfect since now I get to cancel my return flight to Kuwait!
I participated in a Halloween Fun Run on the 30th. My co-worker had a hat, so I wore that just to show I had some spirit. Last year I was a cow-girl as well... tradition?
On Saturday, October 31st, my friend Chris and I went to a new mall called ' The 360 Mall' since it goes in a circle. The mall is gigantic... perhaps you can appreciate the size of this mall from the picture. Anyway, we went to a movie and it was the nicest movie theater I've ever been in. They escorted you to your seats! You are encouraged to leave your trash in the theater where they take care of it. Oh, and there was a lady who handed me paper towels after washing my hands in the restroom! Such service for a movie theater! We saw the show, "Surrogate" with Bruce Willis. It was a good show. Oh, and yes, we were able to sit next to each other in this theater... in some theaters here men are on one side and women are on the other from what I've been told.
After the show we went and grabbed some dinner. Since I didn't want Lebonese food that left TGIFridays as the best alternative. I ordered a drink (I love ordering drinks here becuase I don't have to worry if it comes with alcohol) and was quite surprised at the size of the drink when they brought it out. Lets just say that was pretty much dinner!
Wednesday, November 4th was a fun evening that I got to spend with my cousins (Karina, Charlie, Laila, and Chaz). Karina's parents were in town, so it was fun to see them as well. I enjoy hanging with them- they are fun and have such cute kids. We had dinner at Cafe Supreme in Fahaheel and enjoyed the nice evening watching the water shows behind us and listening to music.

This past Friday a couple co-workers and I went to the Friday Market. Again, this is a huge yard sale where you never know what treasures you are going to find. Well, as we were wondering I found these little beds. The one I am in front of is a Tom and Jerry bed and I couldn't help but think of Tayler. So, Tay, this picture is for you- looking forward to seeing you soon!
There is this huge shopping center called LuLu's that you park at when going to the Friday Market. I had to get a picture and get a shout out to Meggy, so this picture is for you Meggy! See you next month!
Well, that is about all I have for you. I am only a week and two days from being home. So, I really am winding down here and trying to get everything in order. Lots to do in a week's time...

Congrats on the job!!! That's awesome.
It is getting SO close. I can't believe that we are already into the 2nd week of Nov. Crazy!! We can't wait to see you. It doesn't seem like this time last year you were getting ready to leave and now you are coming home-- TO STAY!! yahoo.
Good luck with the packing and everything. Wish I was there to help you.
So excited for you Julie...your time is getting close. In some ways it's hard to believe it's already been a year and in some it feels like it's been forever!
Much luck in all your preparations, we'll be seeing you soon!!
Love ya
That is so cool that it's so close! We're excited to see you!
