Going ALONE???

I have been fighting that "God orchestrated" flight I told you about in February. I have been trying to work it out so my family can come with me AT THE SAME TIME. Yes. I am a BABY. And yes, God already knew... That is why we flew out of Dulles, I am sure of it... But that doesn't keep me from trying to make things go my way! I'm such a human! lol...
Seems this year, with them building new housing in Ruwais for the Ghayathi teachers that we will have a furniture allowance instead of furnished housing. The allowance may not be ready when we arrive so I will have to stay at a 5 star resort hotel (oh darn!) until I can purchase furniture and have it delivered to my new house. If I end up having to room with another female teacher, then my family would have no where to stay. I would have to get them a room for all the days until our place is ready! OUCH! I do not have AD money... I am American and on a US TEACHER'S salary! Or what's left of it!
So as much as I want to travel WITH my family, seems I will be traveling ALONE. =(
I expect my work visa to come through email sometime next week and I believe I am flying out on or about August 14th.
Let us pray and agree that I will NOT have a hotel roommate. I will NOT be alone without my family longer than 2 weeks. My son will arrive well before the start of his school year (Sept 8th- my mom's birthday).
On the plus side- does that mean **I** get to pick out all of the furniture for my new house and they have to live with it?!! Hahahahahahahaha!!!! ;-)
