Met through my good friend from Spain (who was also my husbands manager). I traveled w/ my friend to Egy to see "this amazing group of guys perform" as he stated. So I headed out to see them and spent a month in Egy. I was actually against going to Egy since I spent my summers (as a teenager) and vacations (as a young adult) in Jordan. I had heard how dirty it was and well, I was a bit sceptical about not getting to go see my friends and family in Jordan. :devil::whistle: However, my pushy friend convinced me it was going to be the BEST trip of my life. Well it was :) About 1.5 yrs later (and many stays in Egypt) we were engaged and a little less than a year later married and well, the rest is history...

Wait, did I mention twins too! :blush::innocent: Plz, whatever you do, don't eat pigeon in Egypt...specifically don't eat two pigeons on your honeymoon. Many people there think of the pigeon as an aphrodisiac :wacko::blink: (although I wanted to vomit) I put on my big girl pants and ate what was offered to me over a two day span. Ughhh...anyway, two babies, two pigeon...you do the math! :P:rofl:

LOL is it too late for me to gobble up some pigeons now?! :innocent:

Abed & I met online as well in a yahoo chat room. At first I thought he was just a young, stupid, drunk kid having fun (I am a whole 5 years and 4 days older than him). We met June 2006, right before the Lebanon/Israel war. I always rushed home from work to see if I had any messages from him to tell me he was OK, internet was sparse, needless to say. It finally dawned on me in August that I was already in love, he knew what I was thinking before I did and I worried about him horribly! It was a strong connection and still is. I talked to his sisters on the phone and promised I would come meet them in February 2007 and I did, stayed a month, got married and pregnant all in the same trip, but not in that particular order unfortunately. He finally arrived on US soil 10 days before our oldest daughter's first birthday. Life is challenging at times, he is a Leo, I am a Leo...he is Pali, I am of German descent...but he is the best thing that has ever happened to me, aside from my two babies of course (L) . And I wouldn't trade him for the world. People I used to work with said he was only using me, and talked viciously behind my back, but I am the happiest I have ever been, and they can kiss my lilly white rear end! :whistle::P Some people will never understand how you can fall in love over the internet, but believe me, it is possible, though your feelings aren't completely validated until you are in each others arms.

Hopefully this made sense, I keep running back and forth between the living room and the computer room!

This is why only people I know and trust (family only) know what is really going on with my relationship. All others know he is in Morocco taking care of family...They don't need to know more than that! Beautiful kids btw!! :thumbs:

Tany1157, Houcine is from Sidi Slamane. About 30 min from Rabat or so, I believe.

That's quite a ways away, it took us about 3 hours to get from the airport in casablanca to his hometown. I've never seen so much farmland and animals, and I live in New Hampshire!! :lol: Ouadia wanted to take me to Rabat, but I happened to visit during the transportation strike....but thankfully, they began working the last weekend I was there, and we were able to go to Marrakech for the weekend. :dance:
