Scotland, here we come.... eventually

In the past month we have traveled to the far north in search of a job (check) and a place to call home (uncheck). On our first trip, we were blessed that Aaron got a job with G.E. Oil & Gas in Aberdeen and will start work on July4. Unfortunately, on our travels last week we weren't able to find a suitable home, so Grace and I will be staying in Derby a little bit longer. Therefore, the dream of living as a family is closer to being a reality, just not yet.

Also, Grace had her Meningitis C vaccine today. I thought she was up-to-date on all her shots, which she is- in America. The British NHS vaccinate for MenC in three steps (since Grace is older, it was only one shot) against the disease. Since one of the side effects is getting Guillian-Barre Syndrome, I did my research first. The benefits of the vaccine far outweigh the odds of her getting GBS again so she got the shot and so far no side effects.

Aaron is also having a great day- he bought a car. 2008 Ford Focus will be waiting for him on Wednesday and the man is overjoyed:) I am so happy for him, he really deserves a car after being without one for so long in Saudi.

Happy Days!
