Schem compound!


Yet again we need to move compounds, but this is the best move yet! We get to live in Schem compound which is a compound with huge Saudi style home! This is the nicest and biggest home we have ever lived in since Jon and I got married. We are lucky to be able to move into a 4500 square foot home. Although there are not many people living there, the amenities are new and well kept. The compound provides a gardener and a house cleaner once a week. My life is being made super easy!

(I've been backtracking the blog. Some pictures I will be posting are from december 2017 hence the "illegal" "holiday" tree... in the background)

Our home!

dinning room





kitchen



laundry room, walk in closet and storage room (typically used for a house maid)







family room (since this is a saudi family style home it come with 2 separate entrances and the house is divided in 2 sections, the man section and the female section. This segregation is customary especially while receiving guests.)

The 3rd floor went to the balcony which was not useable because of all the satellite dishes  and AC units



view down to our yard and the street and rest of the compound









our yard. I loved that the house was surrounded with brick and pavement. The children love to go around and around the house with bikes and scooters.











Living at schem was a big blessing! The kids had the ability to go wherever they wanted without me worrying about cars, or people, or what trouble they could get into. It was a very nice and safe compound with amazing staff and employees.
