Ahmed N Cheryl

Wow Enzo is so handsome.....congrats Stasshi.

I am older than Ahmed but it works for us.

Good Luck Mariem

Happy Hump Day and April Fools Day!!!!

Hope everyone is doing well. We seem to be so busy these days here. I rarely get online anymore.

Anyway take care and have a good one.

I Love Twlight......I read the book before seeing the movie and the book is way better definitely. I have read all the books and loved them all. I did wish for more from book 4 though on Edward and Bella's life together after she became a vampire. The movie did not do the book justice.

Happy Monday everyone!!!

Wow Staashi mommy soon......congrats!!

Ok peeps, the only place left for you to NOT get sick is ARIZONA!!! COME ON DOWN!!! The sun will cure anything and everything! Just sit and bake like the rest of us

LOL that is where my Doc told me to move due to my severe allergies to Dustmites (both species) and Cats . He said Arizona does not have any dustmites...hmmmmmm maybe I need to consider it.

I agree with Tamara we did not use any Attorney and our petition was filed and approved the first go round just by reading here, asking for advice, and following the instructions very well. Attorney's charge way to much and cannot promise your approval at the end.

I do know that I read a fiancee petition will be denied if you are married now....so no need to fight for that one. Unfortunately I also heard the married petitions can take a lot longer for approval. I wish you all the luck in your Journey.

Happy Sunday Everyone!!!!

We just got back from vacation Tuesday.....unfortunately I had to go back to work Wednesday. I had the worse allergy reaction and by Friday I ended up at the Doctor for a breathing treatment which has never happened before and now I have an inhaler to keep with me.

Then to top it off I was cleaning the house really good yesterday because Brittany's Boyfriend was coming for Dinner and Movies and while cleaning I hit my toe on the couch and broke it. It is a lovely shade of purple and hurts like #######!!!

But on the bright side the weather here is wonderful we have had several days in the 70's.

Have a Happy Sunday Everyone.

Good Morning! Happy Saturday.

I work 2-11pm today get home around 11:30 set it forward to 12:30 and get right back up at 6am for work at 7am-4pm. Its going to be a painful 24 hours.

Awwww sorry to hear that Tamara it stinks you have to work tonight late and early tomorrow.

Ahmed and I are going to North Carolina next weekend and we may stop by on the way home on Tuesday do you know what you work Tuesday yet?

Hey Cheryl & Ahmed! We are home this Tuesday, then Thursday morning we are heading to Louisiana, but next week Tues the 17th we will be coming back home from Louisiana. We might leave early Wednesday morning to head home or in the afternoon on Tuesday

Too Bad it was the 17th I was asking about......We go to NC on the 13th and return on the 17th.

Awwww too bad it is the 17th Tuesday we will be coming back from North Carolina. We leave Friday the 13th going and are coming back the 17th.

We will have to try to get together another day soon I guess.......... but that Tuesday will not work out.

Oh well, we will work it out and get together again soon.

Oh I forgot.....when we were fillling out paperwork at our biometrics there was not a place for middle eastern so the officer told us to put caucasian or white.

There just is not an option for him other than that on applications. Most have Caucasian(White), Africian American, Native American, Hispanic and Asian.

But we had one place tell us he is not Caucasian.....I simply said well he is not African American or any of the others so if you do not want us to chose Caucasian add a place for Middle Eastern or Other. We chose the one that fits him best. They simply said leave it as is. But they did not hire him either. LOL

I heard it all too from my friends and family especially when I was preparing for my first trip to Egypt.

They said be careful he may not let you come back (LOL I am here and now he is too)

He is allowed to have more than one wife(Noone in his family has more than one wife....noone)

you have to be submissive to be married to him (I am the furtherest from being submissive...my sister laughed and said I would like to see anyone try to Make Cheryl do anything)

you have to convert to muslim (Was never mentioned...I am Christian and he is Muslim> We respect eachothers religion)

My Aunt sent me an email with alot of quotes about Muslims and how they cannot make make good US citizens.

My dad said promise me you will not convert (he treats ahmed great)

My co-workers only asks how old he is when they met him....otherwise they are very kind to him and me about him and have made no comments. They even show interest in Arabic language. They heard me speak to a Patient who was from Iran in Arabic one day and since then I have taught them several words.

My sister and him get along really good they are always joking around.

Guess I am blessed to not have had to deal with the ignorant comments.

Happy Friday MENA

Hope everyone is doing well. I'm just blah...

Need some prayers and good thoughts our way...if you're sending ... we are taking.

Awwww nawal beautiful children.

I will keep you in my prayers for better days ahead.....HUGS!!!!!

Yes that is crazy I sent in Copies of my tax returns but we were K-1. I used Turbo Tax and just printed out extra copies for them....maybe they considered that originals. But anyway however you look at it they were not in color like the original tax forms are.
