We have arrived!

Hello to everyone! We have made it safely to Saudi Arabia and are in our new housing. We came in around 8pm (Saudi Time) last night and made it to our housing compound around 10:30. We arrived with a handful of other teaching couples and were greeted at the Airport by our superintendent, assistant superintendent, human resources director, principal, and vice principal. They took our luggage, gave us a big wad of cash and made us feel very welcome.
Our housing is pretty nice, we are in a two bedroom, two and half bath duplex. It leaves a little to be desired, but we will have plenty of opportunity to make it our own.
That is about all we know for now, we have a meeting in about an hour with the other new people and principal. A couple across the street would also like to take us out to the store later this afternoon so we can get a few things we need right away.
We hope to post some pictures fairly soon and we'll keep you posted as new events unfold for us.
