I ate pork, YES PORK!!

Hi friends and family, and fans!

So since I have posted last time, not alot has happened. I went to school, and it was a Wednesday. So it was the weekend! When I got home from school, we had gotten a package from the Zachary's! I was super excited, it had Tony's and my Burts Bees (I'm addicted to that lip gloss) , and a picture frame and picture that Mary Catherine made me! I loved it, and she even wrote me a letter! And Lily and Emma drew some cute pictures on the box, aww cuties! Some kids had invited me to go eat with them, but of course my parents were not going to let me go in a taxi to downtown Kobar on a weekend by myself. So my mom and Evan went with me in the taxi, and I went to Chili's and right next door there is a Pizza Hut. Mom and Evan ate there and my Dad met them. I met my group and then they wanted me to go to another compound with them after, so I went and asked if I could, and it all worked out. It was alot of fun, seven of us kids ended up cramming in the same taxi, and at first the driver was like "no no no no too many, too many". But after ALOT of convincing and we bribed him with extra tips, he was like "okay okay -just get down and hide from police".. so we did. We just went to two different compounds, went to the park and did alot of running around, just stuff kids do here I guess. Then me and this other girl (Tanya) who lives in my same compound got a taxi back at about eleven. This other boy caught a ride with us too, he goes to our school but I don't know him and I forgot his name. He says he rides my bus every morning..Haha, it was alot of fun though and good to get out. I had a headache when I got home and I wanted to lay down, so I was going to bed. BUT, I wanted to talk to my friends from back home before I did, and I had no way of doing that, because my itouch got stolen :[ But Evan has one, and he had been sick, and I noticed he was reading a book and wasn't using his, so I thought maybe he would let me use his just for the night, and HE DID! I was so happy to have such a nice younger brother, it meant alot to me that he would let me use it because mine had been stolen and I was devestated about that. So I used it for a while and then went to sleep. I woke up and my mom had wanted me to go walking with her. But I remembered I had already made plans with another white girl who was my roomate in Switzerland to go layout by the pool at ten and it was already nine thirty. So I checked my facebook and she messaged me and asked if we could go at one oclock instead, it worked out perfect! So I got to go running this morning, it felt so good! I ran a 5.8 K , I have been going a bit often it is a great walking trail. When we got back I got my swim suit on and went to the pool to meet Sally! When you tan I heard it works to put vegatable oil on you because it attracts the sun more so I brought that. While I was at the pool my mom calls and informs me, that she is cooking and can not find the vegatable oil, and was wondering if I had brought it with me. HAHAHAHA, oops sorry! When I came home I brought her the vegatable oil then I went to take a shower, when I come out of the shower the vegatable oil is in a pot STEAMING SO MUCH, and I went to get my mom and I was like "MOM! MOM YOUR COOKING REMEMBER?!?!?! " she's like "OH YEAH I FORGOT!" so she runs in there, to find all of the oil on FIRRREEEEEEE! and then, she grabs it runs outside yelling "GET DAD GET DAD" so I run in the front yard yelling " DAD FIREE DAD FIREE COME QUICKK!!!" (the yardboy heard and was quite confused) hahaha so he runs inside, and then mom had already ran the firey pot in the backyard and it's sitting on the grass flaming so huge, then he got a lid and threw it on top and saved the day!!! Its a good thing I brought the oil tanning with me so that didn't happen earlier, I wouldn't have been there to see it steaming, then nobody would have seen it on fire, and our new house would have burnt down, GOODNESS! After that fiasco, we ate dinner at a very nice couples house from Lake Charles, or Moss Bluff..I forgot. My dad and Evan happened to sit by them at their dive meeting, and they figured out that they are from there, and they are our neighbors! What a small world. But they were SO nice, and we ate PORK! (thats not aloud in Saudi) It was so tasty and they had so many neat nick nacks from all over the world. It was really awesome, and fun! I will take a picture with my reddish face, picture frame, WHILE wearing my burt's bees! okayyy, and post it(:



LATER LOVES!

  1. Your itouch got stolen?!?! That was the coolest thing you have! How nice that Evan let you borrow his.

    You put vegetable oil on your skin? Gross. That's like cooking a chicken. Was it hard to get off?

    Have fun and be safe!

  2. Ivy, to clarify a bit: she left her i-touch in a parking lot and we drove off, drove back and it was gone. I don't consider that being "stolen" but it makes her feel better! ha love ya whit! I love the description of the almost fire. But how did Dad "save the day"? Was it not me that got the burning skillet out of the house?? (even though I did start the fire....) Dad gets all the credit :(

  6. It looks like you are having a great time!! I am so jealous!! But could you please do me a favor and put sunscreen on instead of vegie oil.
    You have much to pretty skin to ruin it by the time you turn 40. That is just a little advise from your old YW Pres.
    Love ya
