Here We Go!

This is our first post. We hope for many more.


We are leaving our little burb of Rexburg, Idaho for Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.

Arabia

Gale will be teaching economics at Alfaisal University.

Four of our children will also be going with us.
Jay will be attending Alfaisal studying business finance.
Julia, Parley, and CeCe will be in for the adventure of their young lives.

Riyadh has over 5 million people, with over one million from other countries.

The largest female university in the world is also in Riyadh, the Princess Nora bint Abdulrahman University. Maybe DeAnna will go there! Jay was trying to get in but decided he didn't want to wear an Abaya. This will be the standard dress for DeAnna and the girls.



We are going after being recruited by our good friends Bill and Becky Lathen. Bill was the Dean at the College of Business and Economics at Boise State University. He is currently the Dean of the College of Business at Alfaisal.
