October was crazy busy! October 3 was the start of our 10 day Eid vacation. Russell came to visit us from Doha with his then girlfriend, Talitha. I say then..because she is now his fiancee! We knew this was coming as we had all been talking about it. We just didn't know when he was going to pop the question. As part of their visit we took them to Sheikh Faisal's museum for pictures. This is my favorite museum in Qatar. The Sheikh is a major collector of just about everything. His museum is constantly expanding with items he finds from all over the world. It is a fun place to visit and you never see it all. He has 100s of cars inside, dhow boats, and even houses he brought from Syria that he rebuilt inside the museum. Our friend Maureen came to take pictures and it was a fun morning. The actual question was asked a week later as Russell and Talitha were at the park in Abu Dhabi. Mike and I are very happy she said yes! And so is Russell. :)
The date is set for January in Abu Dhabi. Kind of funny to be at this next stage for us. Never in a million years did we think we would be here in the Middle East planning our eldest son's wedding to a beautiful young lady from South Africa. God works in wonderful ways. It's going to be a busy fall!
