Cassie and Joel's Wedding!

Last week I had a whirlwind trip back to America for my cousin Cassie's wedding. Cassie got married on October 17th, and AIS let me use my personal days to go back to MN for a short visit. It was kind of crazy (50 hours of travel for 100 hours in the States!) but so worth it to be part of Cassie's wedding. She was a beautiful bride, and I think all of her friends and family love her new husband, Joel. Hannah and I were both bridesmaids, so it was fun to have family so involved in celebrating. I was also able to enjoy the beautiful fall foliage (especially at Olaf!), eat yummy Mexican and Greek food (which you can't get in Kuwait), and spend lots of time with family and Lucy. Even though it was a short trip it was great to be back in Minnesota, and to enjoy some relief from the 95 degree+ temperatures in Kuwait! I've posted some photos from the trip below.

The next big projects on the horizon are the grade five assembly on November 5th and then a trip to Syria or Jordan at the end of November. My kids are attempting to perform a rap about the skeletal system, which I will then attempt to edit into a video. Check out the blog next week and if it works I'll post the video. :) Until then!
