Happy Feb. While some of us are preparing for a monster storm (me) others are basking in the warm sun (where), and others are getting ice and snow where they normally don't. I pray everyone is well.

I just got done watching Mubarak. I pray that all the unrest in Egypt is over soon. And my prayers are for you all that have family and friends over there. I hope they all keep safe. AYA, I'm prayin for you sis. Come home soon.

For those that are intersted Jack's removing of conditions was approved, without an interview, we just received his card in the mail on Friday. Now we will gear up for naturalization.

Morning MENA~

Sandy~Congrats on Jack's ROC approval! I can't wait until we get to that point for my hubby!

Terrie and Charles~ I hope you all are ok up in all that snow. On the radio this morning they are saying that the blizzard that dumped all the snow on you guys is going to make our temps crazy down here. We are expecting 80-90º down here! What??? Summer all ready??? It'll probably be hot for one day then get blasting cold after that!

I hope everyone has a Happy hump day!!

OMG 21 inches of snow so far and we aren't done! I can't open my back door its terrible. I got snow drifts over my 4 ft fence. There are snow drifts in the road, its bad! Poor Tinker wants out but I can't let her out. And even if I could i'd had to find a way she don't get lost in the drifts.

Have a good day all! and HELP!

It is hard to believe that just Sunday we were walking at the park without jackets or anything on and the last 3 days it has been cold down here in Georgia. I guess we are caught some where in the middle between the snow and the warm sun shine. I hope everyone is doing good. I haven't been here in a while. Hope everyone is doing good. Im glad the internet is back on in Egypt. I was missing my friends there. Yes I am weird, I still have friends in Egypt. LOL I still want to go over and visit but not any time soon. Everything needs to be sorted out first before I think about going over there.

Good morning! It's chilly here in Tucson, but at least we have no snow or ice...just sun and blue skies!

Sandy, congratualtions to Jack for a successful ROC!! One more hurdle down!

We still haven't received an oath date for Wael. They said he should be notified in about 45 days....again we wait!!

Wael will graduate from the University of Arizona in May. This is his second degree...a BA in Acct from Alexandria University

and now a BS in Economics. We had an awesome surprise yesterday. He was accepted for the MBA accelerated program

at Eller College of Management at the University of Arizona! Got his notification yesterday and another surprise....they awarded

him a wonderful scholarship!! The program is an intense 1 yr beginning in June and ending in May 2012. He will pursue

his MBA in Finance. What a fantastic year this has been. A new citizen and a great MBA program!! He has worked so hard

to maintain his honors and now it is all coming together. I'm so very proud of my husband.

WOW girl, you tell your man to GO!!!!!!!!!! Wooo Hooo!!!!!!!!!

Jack has a law degree from Egypt and has just started classes at our local community college, he wants to be a nurse of all things. Not that there is anything wrong with nursing I just was not expecting that from a man with a law degree. I do not care, what ever makes him happy.

another day off from work - makes two in a row. never had a day off due to weather, much less two. took about 2 hours to clear off the driveway with the tractor.

I hear that on Thurs night and Friday morning its going to snow in Houston! I guess I will believe it when I see it! I have work Friday at 6am... Its going to be freezing! I love it !

Congrats to you Sandy and Jack on the ROC! I hope everyone is doing well! Adam has been glued to the news on the tv, all computers and cell phone. We have so many new channels on at once. His family is doing ok and the internet came on today. I got to talk to his sister today on FB and shes sad she cant get to Alex to see her and Adams mom and grandmother. Also, the Carrefour mall is torn up! That was a pretty nice mall- crazy they tore it up. She said she was able to buy bread but not any milk.

Not Carrefour! I loved going there. That's where I would go to get my Snickers and Cadbury fixes.

I am glad to hear that Adam's family is safe!

So far everyone is doing o.k., Mom and Dad had to lock down the apartment house for saftey and his sister and brother in law had to close down the clothing store they own, about 30 min outside of Alex. Jack has been using calling cards to communicate with his family but because the internet came back up yesterday he was also able to get in touch with some friends too. I am just so baffled at the govt getting these people to come in and cause all this unecessary violence.

Jeanne It is a great year for Wael!! Congrats to him!!

I'm in the process of moving to another hospital in the corporation I work at now. It's funny, technically it's the same job but different part of the town and I am having to do an interview and start from the beginning just like a new hire! Just trying to update my resume from 1999 was enough!!! Whew!

Hope everyone is staying warm up north!! It was so hot and muggy down here last night. I swore I wasn't going to turn on the ac!!! I'm not ready for high electric bills yet!!!!

Have an awesome day!

[R and F 34]

Great Thursday afternoon to you guys. Freezing and sleeting here in South Texas, wow.
