To Saudi Arabia

So we are moving to Saudi Arabia!



I know that it isn't the ideal move for most people, but it is something that we have been thinking about doing since before we even got married.

Saudi Arabia is located smack in the middle of the world, and is one of the world's wealthiest countries, because it is where all of our oil comes from. Yet, it is also the most conservative Islamic country in the world.

In going there, we will have to adjust to a new lifestyle, and I will be required to wear a full muslim headcovering, and be accompanied by Chris at all times. While this may be annoying, it will definetly be a great experience.

We will be teaching freshman English at King Faisal University in Al Hofuf, Saudi Arabia.




Besides just going there for adventure, we are also going there in order to save up money and become debt free. We started Dave Ramsey's Financial peace program a little over a year ago, and we have made a ton of progress. Yet, by going to Saudi we will be making more than $2,000 extra per month. Thus, we are really excited about how that will affect our debt snowball.



So anyways, I am including some videos that were made by teachers at the school that we will be at.

This is what our apartment will look like:



These are some of the male students. Only Chis will teach males, I will teach women.
