Belated 2010 Holiday Greetings

2010

Our first full year living in Qatar (recently announced host of the 2022 World Cup); Travis is teaching English as a Foreign Language at Qatar University. Living here has provided some unique experiences, like seeing Ferraris and Lamborghinis on a daily basis. The year did provide a few more highlights than just the exotic cars on the road.
  • Explored Qatar when Lindsay's parents visited early in the year, including a visit to the Museum of Islamic Art featuring a temporary exhibit on pearls, and a trip to the camel races
  • Qatar hosts a lot of sporting events, so we went to see part of the Tour of Qatar (road cycling), the WTA Championship (women's tennis), and the IHF Super Globe (Men's handball)
  • Celebrated Leoni's first birthday and plenty of other baby firsts
  • Traveled back to the US for the summer and visited family and friends in Las Vegas and Utah, including the wedding of Travis' brother, Tyler
  • On our way back to Qatar, we visited Rome and ate lots of gelato
Favorite flavors-hazelnut (Travis), chocolate/orange (Lindsay), everything (Leoni)
  • Europe was number four in the list of continents Travis traveled to this year
Asia-Bahrain for Youth Conference & a conference in Dubai w/ a side trip to IKEA
South America-trip to Machu Picchu w/ a side conference in Peru
  • Found out we'll have another baby join our family around the beginning of May 2011
We hope that your holidays were wonderful and that 2011 has started off to be a wonderful year.

Happy New Year, Valentine's, & St. Patrick's Day!
Travis, Lindsay, and Leoni
