After sixty-four grueling weeks of Arabic learning, my husband graduated with honors this past Thursday from the Defense Language Institute. He also received his Associate's Degree in Arabic and we could not be more proud of him!
My mom and his best friend came to town for the graduation. I was so happy and thankful that they were here for this joyous occasion.
On to the next thing. We're moving in a few days!

What a difficult language to learn! When we first moved to Japan I was thinking that with my language background I could probably figure out some words...if they only used the same alphabet. But in Arabic the alphabet is different AND you have to read backwards! What an accomplishment. :)
