Christmas Letter from Doha 2018
Greetings, friends! Although not much has happened to us this year, Glenn and I thought we would try our hand at a holiday newsletter. Please bear with us—there’s not much to report. 2018 began like any other year. The day to day in Red Deer--work for Nancy at RDC, work for Glenn at Peavey Mart. Getting over the holiday fuss. Planning a 3-week trip to Spain at the end of January. You know—the usual stuff. Nancy’s interview on January 3 with a college in Qatar, a country in the Persian Gulf, was the first hint that our lives were going to become a little more interesting in 2018. The conditional job offer a week later ramped up the urgency of decision-making, and the upcoming trip to Spain began to take on a different meaning. Turned out that, if Nancy was going to accept the offer in Qatar and live there legally with Glenn, she was going to have to make an honest man out of him. We also realized that we would have to do that before leaving for Spain on January 26.
