Hello Ladies!

I am SO sorry it has been so long! I miss all of our talks! I feel like it has been 100 years since I was on!

Okay, I do not remember who it was who "forewarned" me about the 1st year after Said would get here....but YES! You were right! I feel like I was on a rollercoaster!

Thank God, it is leveling out finally!

I need updates...tell me how you all are!

Yo! I KNOW what you mean about missing the MENA sisters! I joined the slumber party Saturday night and had so much fun. It was like "Old Home" week or something there were so many peeps I hadn't talked to in a long time.

Hicham came home last March and it has been like one of those rides that has the pirate ship that goes in the 360...you know the one where you are hanging up side down....that is what it has been like for us. I didn't expect us to have as much as a readjustment like some whose husbands had never been to the States before, but we really have gone through a readjustment. I think we are starting to level out now. Inshallah!

Jax, hope you got your arms raised high because Inshallah, you will be on the down hill side really soon!

Arms are raised and I am very ready for the ride!

OK Jax....here is your emergency survival adjustment prep list: most of the journey will of course be blissful but for those other times here you go 1. A garden or simular area to retreat to full of flowers and pretty things (a blow off steam area if you will ) 2. Some form of sleep aide that knocks you out when you won't let up on an issue and he just can't seem to get your point . 3. A really high stack of pillows or matresses...just something to pound on instead of him . 4. If you don't already know how..learn to meditate or be able to clear your mind. 5. (maybe this should be #1) Make a promise to yourself that no matter what happens, no matter how bad an issue might seem, you will not think of quiting during the first 12 mos. Because i am positive that by the 12th month you will level out like most of us. Sorry if I make this look rough to some people reading this but.....I have seen this rollercoaster happen...and it's usually worth it if you ride it out LOL.....

Man Olive....I felt like you were just writing about me and Simo!!!! The other night when we were going to bed he commented on how things are so much better now. The one thing that continuously comes up for me is this, COMMUNICATION is key!! You will mean something one way, and will be understood as something TOTALLY different. I learned quick to explain in a way he would understood. Each month he got it a little more, and now he doesn't automatically assume the wrong thing, he steps back and verifies it. Even though are still issues and the rollercoaster takes an additional ride every so often, all the "family" things we have created with our son make up for it. We love spending the afternoon in the mountains, or at the park playing soccer. THOSE days make it ALL worth it!!!!
