Where do I start. This blog has turned into a chronicle of Kelsey but as we board our 16.5 hour flight to Houston for the last time, we reflect on the amazing memories that we made while in Doha for the past 3.5 years. While we are so excited to return "home" we will greatly miss our home in the desert. If you had told me 3.5 years ago that a Muslim country in the Middle East would feel like home, I would have never believed you. While we will miss more than you might expect, this is no place like home! We are definitely leaving with amazingly fond memories and heavy hearts.
That being said, I leave you with the:
Top 10 Things I will MISS About Doha!
10. The very fine dust that blankets ANYTHING that stands still for more than a minute.
9. Taking the curb to get around traffic...I for one LOVE the driving here...especially when I was driving the Jeep!
8. The parking security guard at LuLus who unloads my groceries! LOVE HIM!
7. Paying $8 for a box of cereal.
6. Paying $. 70 for a gallon of gas...AND THAT IS FULL SERVICE!!!
5. The Mall Chilis staff...they were like family!
4. Watching the driver next to me pick his nose at a stoplight.
3. Kelsey being blessed by every local who walks past her.
2. "Honk" is translated into bring me anything I want as I am too lazy to get out of my car to get it myself!
1. Our friends from around the world! We are already anxious to see them again!
As we leave, I leave you with some lyrics from For Good-Wicked:
Who can say if I've been changed for the better? I do believe I have been changed for the better! I have been changed for good!
