Figuring this out

Well we have been here now for four days and every day is looking up.  It is all very overwelling what you have to do    , things that you have to do anyway you move. Like getting the internet to work , or cell phones , bank accounts, medical  , where to buy food.  So many things  I can't even list and there is all the things that Brandt has to do with starting a new job  , like Pay roll and how to get to work.  It's a little wild but  yesterday morning we woke up and thought enough is enough we have to get out of this condo. I had not left since we got in at 2 am sat morning so it was time!!!   So off we went there are a lot of fellow expats living in the tower in the same situation as us and they have a mom's coffee group  , and anyone who know me know that's not really my thing but......I have to start a new life here and that is a good place to start! So i packed up the 3 kids and trucked down to it and.....found so many people from the same city as me! what a pleasant surprise! Lots with kids , but there does not seem to be a lot of kids the same age as Colby man he seems to be one of the youngest right now , so he will be my little Saudi Sidekick :)
Anyways after that i called around to find a rental car , thinking it was going to be  a hopeless battle but ...once i figured out how to call out:) it was farly simple! I Found a car sent the info to Brandt and MY SWEET hubby appeared after work with a car!!! Now  in Canada I would have been picky about what type of car and cost but not here  ! I just needed wheels and doors , and there were only 3 cars to choose from  2 of which were the same.  Now you would think that size would be an issuer right we have to fit 3 car seats in  but you would be surprised what you can get done when you are truly motivated!  So we got a car , not sure of the make it's nothing i have seen before  , but for a size reference it's about the size of  a neon!  which you would think not possible to fit 3 car seats in but leave it to Brandt!  So picture this parkade temperature which was about 35 Celsius  , small car 3 cars seats brandt istalled them all and by then end of it they were in and brandt was Soaked! it looked like he had just finished a marathon ! yikes even Colby man was dripping and he was literally just sitting there watching him.  Did I mention its really HOT here !!
After the car seats where in we were off . I was feeling good we were going to the main camp to see how the other half lived and check out the food store , But Brandt failed to mention he did not know where he was going .  # adventure ....right!    but as our story seems to go .....all was good we made it there to the camp main gate and was greater by a nice guard with a rather large machine gun ....yup it was wild!  Once we got in we needed to get a badge for our car for Id but we had our first event with prayer time....so we waited out 20 some thing minutes then we were on our way.  Once at the food store we found a lot of the same food but it was mayor money but at this point i did not care!! But here are some example......now this is all in SR so to convert to canadain you have to divide it by 3.75......so    Alomond milk   105SR    , that right i paid 28$ for 4 small boxes of almond milk.  Diet pepsi ...32.50sr   8.6$ for 12   . But i am learning it's the little things:)
So after that we were back to our new home and had to get gas , now being as we are surrounded by gas over here you would think it would be cheaper right? well darn right!! we filled up our tank and the grand total was 20SR....so if you are doing the math that is you got it $5.30 to fill our car with premium fuel!!! wild right  , it cost less than my pepsi!
Anyways Things are going well  I mentioned at morning coffee that I was a hair stylist  , and you would have thought i was giving chocolate to kids! So hopefully i will keep doing hair and have some fun.  
On another note Brandt is going to have an offshore well, which  means he is going to get  to do helicopter rescue training?? i think it is called? it's the one where they flip over the chopper with you in it and submerge you under water and you have to get out ....sound like fun right!!!   All new experience!  

 Sunsise...Early about 5:30am , and it sets at about 5:30pm  , but night time view is so Pretty!!

 This is my random window in my kitchen , that faces nothing! a little Creepy

 This is what i have in the bathroom    , no plug in's just this , what would you use it for??

 PEPSI!!! wild right , it does not taste the same but it will defiantly do

I also got the apple tv to work which with the kids and not a lot of free space it s wonderful thing! and best thing i did it all by myself!! Now if i could just figure out how to turn of the oven i will be good!! one thing at a time right:) Tommorow We are going to take the bus some where ...wish me luck!!  # TraceyAdventure
