The Fall/Winter season is always a joyously busy season, not just here in Dubai, but everywhere around the world! I absolutely love my winter desert season, nothing beats it! Everyone is high energy, out and about, getting things done, closing out the year. Lots of wonderful memories from December, and ready to welcome 2017!

I always look forward to November. Every year. This year, November was a month of great growth for me and my family. We were challenged in more ways than one, learned a few difficult lessons, and grew stronger in our faith in God. To say November has been easy would be a lie, however, I am happy that we were able to sail through. Here's looking back at our November.
