Out with the old, in with the new

Well here we are again! At the end of another year and I have dropped this blogging ball. I enjoy blogging very much but I can't seem to manage my time to sit and write and chronicle life. So here's the condensed version of what happened between April 2021 and now...December 2021.

Personal Update:
After going to Turkey my friend and I decided to start a Travel Agency. It went great. Due to personal reasons, I decided to step away from that business to focus on things that truly need my attention...MY HUSBAND, MY MARRIAGE, AND ME! So much of the latter part of 2021 was spent balancing the duties of a travel agent, wife, and teacher returning back to the classroom after being away for a year and a half! What a whirlwind but I came out unscathed!

School Update:
During Term 1 we followed the hybrid model of teaching. My classes were split in half. One week, half of them physically came to school and the others stayed at home and joined class virtually and they switched every week. This was a little confusing trying to remember who should be sitting in front of me because they all wanted to come to school 100% of the time. In January, when Term 2 starts, they all will be face-to-face which I'm currently preparing for because I have not taught a full class of students since February 2020! Readers, pray for me!

Marriage Update:
No marriage is perfect so that definitely includes mine. My husband and I have committed ourselves to putting our marriage first and making sure we strengthen it at all times. We have decided that in order for us to get different results, we have to do things differently. So we are reading together, praying together, doing marital check ins and so much more. I'll share more about this in 2022 because I'm so excited about what God is doing in our marriage. So, look for blog posts about this. 

Blog Update: 
I plan on posting on a consistent basis. This is a wonderful outlet for all of the creative juices that don't have anywhere to go. I haven't danced or sewn in a very long time so the creativity needs to be expressed! I'll be doing weekly recipes and hopefully some sewing tutorials every now and then! I'm also going to do an activity here in the UAE at least monthly if not more so that means Vlogging!

Travel Update:
As with most of the world, the current pandemic has slowed down my travels but not my passion. Unique Does Travel. a travel agency birthed from my love and passion for travel, will cater to unique travelers of all ages who want every detail of their vacations planned for them. We'll be hosting trips around the world. Our next expedition will be in December 2022 to Dubai! Habibi come to Dubai! Check out Unique Does Travel for more information!

You're all caught up now so get ready because 2022 is going to be one AMAZING YEAR! I'm declaring that right now.

What are your goals for 2022? What do you want to accomplish? Thanks in advance for sharing!

Happy New year and remember to Be Uniquely You!
