Finally!

I am a happy camper right now. 1) I am planning to meet up with my best friend from Istanbul, Kelly from Canada who loves maple syrup and chases caribou for fun. AND... 2) I got a fez!!! am so excited! My dad is doing business in turkey now and he just got back from Istanbul. He didnt have much time but he was able to snag me my hearts greatest desire...a fez. In time to wear it to the They Might Be Giants concert as well! oh happy day! I will share this lovely picture of my husband in the fez. Also a shout out to Dr. WHo.

A New Friend

My new friend from my Japanese class last semester is now where I was in 2011. I was able to help out my host family in Turkey by finding a new aupair for them. This would be my new friend Cookie Trout. She is now taking care of my sweet Derin in Istanbul Turkey. I am so excited for her since it was one of the best experiences of my life! It has been fun giving her advice as well as hearing all of her own stories around the city. She is officially addicted to backlava and salep. In other news my Father is now working for a company who is working with a Turkish mans company which means that he gets to travel there! He has been in Istanbul this last week and lucky me, he was able to take goodies to my old families! I am hoping to steal a trip with him there and see Istanbul again with my hubby! Hope all is well! Take care!
