BE WHO YOU ARE AND SAY WHAT YOU FEEL, BECAUSE THOSE WHO MIND DONT MATTER AND THOSE WHO MATTER DONT MIND

YOU CANT CHANGE THE PAST BUT YOU CAN RUIN THE PRESENT BY WORRYING OVER THE FUTURE

TRIP.... OVER LOVE, AND YOU CAN GET UP

FALL.... IN LOVE, AND YOU FALL FOREVER

I DO HAVE THE RIGHT TO REMAIN SILENT, JUST NOT THE ABILITY

LIKE THE MEASLES, LOVE IS MOST DANGEROUS WHEN IT COMES LATER IN LIFE

LIFE IS NOT THE WAY ITS SUPPOSED TO BE, ITS THE WAY IT IS

I MAY NOT BE WHERE I WANT TO BE BUT IM SURE NOT WHERE I WAS

Amera, what do you do for work and where is your little one? I bet it's hard to be back working so soon.

Allah tries his chosen people through many hardships, but those who persevere through adversity, surrendering themselves before the will of Allah, shall be blessed with a superb reward.

-The Prophet Muhammad (SAW), as reported by Anas bin Malik

A time will come when the sky is torn apart; when the stars scatter, and the ocean drains away; and when the graves are tossed about, and laid open. At that time every man will be told what he has done, and what he has failed to do; and every woman will be told what she has done, and what she has failed to do.

-Qur'an, Al-Infitar, Surah 82:1-5

Yeah..unfortunately it doesn't last too long :( It's really difficult for the man to wow me with words anymore. I'm so jaded by conducting a marriage through the phone lines.

I really really really really love my husband.

Melly - I work in insurance full-time and part-time (on a project by project basis) work with the Islamic Society of North America. It was hard to leave, but he's home with daddy for 3 weeks (Youssef is working only a few days in the next couple weeks and we have my mom to help out too). I make 2x's what he does so it makes more sense for me to be working now, esp with him going to Morocco in a few weeks. I think he will enjoy the time he gets to spend with the baby and honestly it was kind of nice to be around adults all day even though I did miss him!

Massouna - - did your mom have any more guidance on the prayer issue?

May 11 '09 - Case Approved 10 yr card in the mail

June - 10 yr card recieved

Feb. 19, 2010 - N-400 Application sent to Phoenix Lockbox

April 3, 2010 - Biometrics

May 17,2010 - Citizenship Test - Minneapolis, MN

July 16, 2010- Retest (writing portion)

October 13, 2010 - Oath Ceremony

Journey Complete!

Wow, it's great you get to do work for ISNA. I would love to have a job working in some capacity with other muslims or in that environment.

And yeah, I guess it must have been nice to have a day off. :D

You're lucky your family is around to help.

If I have another child insha'Allah, I have no family around closer than 4 hours!!!

I could never imagine living that way. I love having my family around. You do realize you are married to a Middle Eastern man and that it's sooooooooo common for friends and family to just swing by whenever. :yes::lol:
