We're Moving to Qatar!


For those who we haven't had a chance to tell - we're moving to Doha, Qatar this summer. Brandon has been given a new project controls position on an LNG facility in Qatar, a tiny penisula on the eastern edge of Saudi Arabia. Sheri also found a great teaching position at a private school in Doha, so she'll continue shaping young minds - 3rd graders next year. Here are some websites to give you more info on Doha, Brandon's project, Sheri's school, and cheap phone cards to call Qatar from the US until we get Vonage or Skype up and running:

Things are moving quickly, business trips, lots of planning, and before we know it we'll be sitting in Doha wondering how in the world we got there. Since we're running out of time, and doing a poor job of calling all of our friends/relatives, we wanted to start this Blog to keep you all updated as we make our big move. I'm actually going over on a 2nd business trip from April 20th to May 18th, with Sheri and I headed over on assignment on May 31st! I'll update the blog with more info when I'm over in Doha for 4 weeks without much to do in the evenings.

Marhaba Qatar!
