One of the side effects of marrying someone from another country:  You're now intimately connected to the happenings of two nations instead of one.

Case in point:  the husband's home town is gripped by a massive strike/riot.  The building next to where my MIL works was torched.  Alhamdulilah, she's ok, but still, double the worries and craziness.



I promise to emerge from my internet/people hibernation soon and will get in contact with people.   Really, I will.

The Agenda:

1.  Invite Liz and Jason to a cook out
2.  Do something with Megan and Ryan
3.  Send Kimmie the baby present that's been sitting on my living room table forever.
