After a year of anticipation, two months of preparation, a week of frantic packing, and 17 "grueling" hours of being pampered in business class cabins and lounges, I finally arrived in Amman.
I cleared customs and was driven, along with my two heavy suitcases and three heavier carry-ons, to my new apartment where this terrifying creature was waiting to greet me:
Boogedah-boogedah. I have named him Grimsby and try not to walk past him after dark. Can you imagine what he will look like with flames coming out of his mouth?
I am unpacked, settled in, and very much looking forward to two years in the Hashemite Kingdom. I promise to post more regularly, sharing fascinating tales of my weekly adventures (example: Today I bought a kilo of corn stalch and had a cupcake at Suger Daddy's! (no, those are not typos)). These will primarily be a ruse to lure you all out for a visit. Hope it works!

Look at me, I'm commenting! I really want to see Grimsby with fire coming out of his mouth! Can we do it when I come to visit? Even better if we could paint his irises red...
I've missed you! This is the only way I get to know what's up with my cousins.
I heart Grimsby.
First off, I can't believe you FINALLY updated your blog. Second I'm so sorry that I didn't get a chnace to make you a Breaking Dawn T-shirt. Third, my kids would love Grimsby more than they love me. Fourthly I can't wait to hear more about your adventures! Lastly, I love listing things in a numeric fashion.
Miss Pootie, Grimsby needs a silk fern in his mouth. This will reduce his scariness and make him decorative. Yours truly, Miss Deck O. Rator
