Lucky 7

Today the blog hit 4700 visitors and it is my 70th post!  Do you see the lucky number 7? Nothing much to say, just that since blogpsot started keeping track in May 2010, we've had 4700 hits to the blog.  I think it's pretty cool.  I only wish I knew how many people have read it since we started it in September 2009.
My request: if you read this message, please post a comment with your location and how you found the blog... Thanks!

    Hi, We will be moving to Riyadh in September 2011. I have been reading your blog for the past few months and feel it has given me a great insight as to what to expect when we do finally arrive. Thanks.
    I cant remember exactly how I located your blog, I think it was google.
    By the way I'm from the UK.

    Hi Chris, Gwen McDaniel from Slaughter Elementary. I saw your Christmas in Egypt picture in the magazine section of The Advocate. Are you both teaching over there? Sounds like you are having a great time and what an adventure for your kids! Take care!

    Hi Gwen! Long time no see. I'm so glad you found the blog. Did the Advocate photo have a link to the blog? We haven't seen it.
    Yes, we both work here and it has been quite an adventure. Feel free to share the blog around.

    Yes, there was a link. I bet you're having the time of your lives! How long will you be there? There are only a few of the same teachers at Slaughter now but I'll tell them about the link next time I see them. Are you on facebook?
