Yallah Middle East 2.0

[UmmSqueakster 54]

The dresses are from this website. I've been drooling over them for more than a year, and will continue to drool until Tamer and I can afford a fairytale renewal of vows here.

Noura, those caftans are really really pretty *faints* I wish I had more opportunities to wear abayas and caftans and the like.

Ooo, I'm getting close to platinum. post post post!

I was drooling over those caftans too, Said wanted to save and buy me one, but they're so expensive I told him no. I just don't have enough opportunities to wear something so regal to justify that kind of dough! Maybe for our Moroccan wedding one day, inch'allah!

Wow I guess since it is the weekend and the weather is getting warmer that everyone is out enjoying the sun. Or out shopping like I was doing all day. My favorite past time. Trying to get my wardrobe ready for my trip. I guess I better start checking on weight limits on my luggage I would hate not to be able to pack everything and all the shoes I want to take.

Hope everyone is haveing a great weekend.

Hi everyone ... life has been a dream for me.

Alot of stuff has been going on ... ALOT. We have decided to cancel our big wedding and elope with a small family only reception at home. We are saving over $10,000 this way I was sad at first but it makes so much sense now.

Today we bought all of out furniture for our house .... and it was the neatest experience ever. It was sooooooooooo fun ! Everyone commented on how "in love" we looked We got our bedroom set, couches, dining room set, and coffee tables. We already had the entertainment center and TV.

Ali might have a job and he is going to check it out on Monday. God please make this work out ... he realllly needs to work. He's been learning English and studying for his written test.

Life has been so crazy, fun, chaotic, and filled with love since he got here. I have been so busy with cancelling all of the wedding plans ... deposits and such. Now we are planning the new wedding and just getting the house ready.

Our new wedding date is now June 17th.

CONGRATS LB big or small the wedding still means the same thing

any ways things have been going good in these parts

lol

Me and yacine are headded to bouira to go see his aunt (which i first met in tunisia) she lives in Hachemia wallahi

her house is very nice... yacine has been so sweet to me cleaning all the time and taking care of me. and his little brother and middle brother and his cousin come down and fold my clothes and sweep the floor... i think the men do more chores than the women sometimes!~! lol

today we adopted a little minouche he is so sweet we named him angelo... he is black and white like my cat at home.. he is very sweet... not the usual algerian cat... i've found that cats and stray animals in algeria and tunisia are always afraid of people like they were torture victims or something!! this kitten is really sweet he will rub up and cuddle on you we gave him rotisserie chicken and bread i am going to take some pictures when i get a chance ok I dont know what else to talk about right now so ill catch you guys later!!
