Hey guys!

Well I just wanted to tell you that Hicham had no problems at JFK and they didn't even ask him anything. They just took his envelope and his I-94 and gave him EAD and he was on his way. He didn't miss his flights and was only 30 minutes late at LAX. We didn't get home until 4:30 am so we were pretty tired.

Anyways since he has been here we have been busy eating too much of course and trying every kind of food he has never seen before. We went to Farmer's Market and he loooved the ribs and the music. We went to my parent's house for the weekend and it was really nice but no one could talk too much since he doesn't speak English and my family's French is a little rusty but they really like Hicham so I'm happy about that.

We applied for his Social Security card so hopefully that will be coming by next week. He needed his passport plus his ID card.

Otherwise we have just been playing a lot of tennis, going to the beach, shopping, sleeping, cooking etc.

Oh today something really good happened I think. We went to a classroom where I heard there was free tutoring by retired teachers for people who don't speak English. Anyways we were talking to this lady about tutoring and behind us I heard a man say Morocco about 5 times so I asked the lady and she said yes he is from Morocco let me introduce you. So we met Aziz whose family owns the only Moroccan restaurant in the area and we are going to go eat there tonight and meet his family. This is really good because Hicham wants to work in a restaurant and I am hoping they can give him something to do there where he can understand what they are saying. I just couldn't believe that there was a Moroccan family here because this is a very small town.

Ok well I just wanted to say hi and let you know how things are going.

Congrats to those who have had success and who are being reunited and good luck to those waiting you are next!!!

Kisses,
Sarah

So glad things are going well and we miss you here alot!

Yes that question has already been answered FRIEND. Please read the answers that people have spent the time to write for you in the other topics you have started. Thanks.

Go Sarah and Hicham!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

oh im psyched Sarah. Othmane was just asking about Hicham yesterday.

Hope things work out at the resturant....knowing Moroccans helps lots. Just hearing Arabic is comforting, it always brings a big simle to Othmane.

CONGRATS SARAH AND HICHAM!!! Enjoy this very special time in your lives...and knowing that you don't ever have to be separated again!



Susan

Were those pork ribs ???? Only teasing you.

Glad to hear you he is adjusting well and that your family like him. Keep us updated.

Rebecca

Oh man, you know what's the best? Lamb ribs, with the meat so tender it's dripping off the bone. Ohhhh, lunch time hurry up!



Glad to hear things are going smoothly Sarah. Will wedding bells be ringing anytime soon?

I have never liked the taste of lamb. I will cook it for my husband, but I cannot eat it. I think the only time I have enjoyed it was when it has been the part of gyro meat.

hey chica,

That is so great things are working out smoothly for Hicham and you. I will keep that all in mind with the moroccan restaurant... we have several here in san diego...hmmm...maybe possible connection there or a job. Happy to hear you are enjoying each other and just having some long overdue quality time together. oh and i plan on going to Morocco in december...almost bought the tickets yesterday..lol!!

Have you been to the Ben Harper concert already????

Thanks guys!

The Ben Harper concert is next Wednesday so he's pretty excited about that.

The Moroccan restaurant was great we met 3 other Moroccans there... some even from Casa which is very close to Mohammedia where Hicham is from. He was so happy to hear Arabic I know what you mean Sarah he just smiled and smiled.

Yes the ribs were beef of course! haha.

We're trying to find him some pick up soccer games and it looks like there is one a day here so he is happy.

Talk to you guys soon,

Sarah
