well found Reda a job it's just a part time gig but it's a start.... noone ever warns you how hard it is to find a job for an immergrant I am amazed at some of these employers gull. As a hiring manager myself it just reminds me what i need to be understanding of.

What's most important for Reda is he found soccer teams to play with Alhamdolilah .. *wipping brow* phew! so he is gaining friendships and connections to other employment opportunities that way.

Being married to a MENA man has it's up sides and some exhausting sides but all in all it's the love you get from them that makes it all worth while.

in many aspects :whistle:

LOL...I think we are all about at the same place with the settling in. I completely know what u mean with the ups and downs. talk about a growing experience hhhhhhhh. You definately have to be really in love and very forgiving and tollerent at times! And it helps if the husband or immigrant is easy going with a real mild temperment too. I know after 7 mos I think my husband and I are leveling out whew..I just came back here too.......I swear its like when u first have a baby! It takes like 6 mos till you can deal with whats been going on outside of the "baby" ya picking up what i'm put'in down lol
