..the camels..the wonderful wonderful camels.
Sung in my best wizard of oz voice I can muster.
Well “we” actually are not..but tony is.
He leaves today.
And even though we have already been apart for 4 months or so. He was still here. In America. A short plane trip away. Not that I ever took that short plane trip. But I could have.
Instead we choose to drive.
Now he will be a lonnnnnnng plane trip away…a body of water away.
He is headed to Bahrain. (For those of you that are not familar with the country, it is in the middle east. A big long bridge now connects Bahrain and Saudi together. It is across the water from Afgan. But a worlds different.)
For a year.
A year.
AKA the sand box. Where it all began for us.
We meet there. Rode my first camel there. Swam with the dolphins there. Dived for black pearls there. Designed my own clothes there. Para-sailed there.
Got married there. Yes my friends. Our marriage license is written in Arabic. Yes, it is legal. No, I have no idea what it actually says.
So the journey begins.
And I can not wait to see what life brings our way.
And speaking of beginnings….how about this little sweetie to melt your heart…

ciao for now..shel
