What will we do without you?
Big and exciting changes are coming up for my very lovely friend Molly. If you know the story of how I came to live in the UAE, you know that this lady was a big factor. I had my sights set on other A locations (Alaska and Australia). Molly signed a contract to teach in Abu Dhabi!? A week later, I signed a contract too. If you’re going to move to the other side of the world, why not do it with one of your best friends?
Now it’s two years later and Molly has signed a new contract. Come August she’ll be teaching a new batch of students in… the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia!
Few non-Muslims get the chance to enter Saudi (as we call it here). I can’t wait to hear her stories and follow her adventures. She is certainly a one-of-a-kind kind of girl. One look at her birthday party is all the proof you need.
Original plans called for a color fight in the spirit of India’s Holi Festival.
When the appropriate powders were unavailable, we turned to the next best thing: flour!
Water balloons were present as well. It was quite the sight.
Best wishes, Miss Molly! But what will we do without you?
xo, jill
I think the bigger question is, “What am I going to do without YOU?!”. Don’t even get me started on how much I’m going to miss you!
