BTW I got hitched


Salaam!
Well its been almost exactly a year since I last blogged... Not that I have been very good at blogging in the first place. But I need to update the cyber world on whats going on in Fah's life.
December 24th 2009 I got married. :-) His name is Tammer... He's from Al-Arish, the city I have lived in the past 2 years here in Egypt. He's a dreamy, kind, laid-back businessman. Totally different than me in every way... Those who know me know that I am not laid-back at all. And maybe thats what keeps us strong. He claims he met me almost a year before we officially met. He saw me at work and thought it was intriguing to see a woman in a suit... managing a staff of men. So from the get go he knew I was bossy. LOL.
I was pretty sure my dad would not approave. But love prevails over all... and we got married! Is it strange to say that I knew from the day I met him I would be his wife.? And within 3 months we got hitched... We probably would have wed quicker if I was back home, but I waited for my dad and brothers to come and get the party started. Ofcourse!
I have to say alhamdullah for everything that has happened this year. Maybe the moment I began writing I wanted to talk about how work sucks and I don't want to eat bamia for dinner or how I was making Tamar Hindi yesterday and the pitcher blew up in my hands. But writing about the wedding makes me smile. (And that never happens at Sinai University).
We honeymooned briefly in Sharm and then got back to working. We both took tons of time off from work. Not that we are independently wealthy individuals... but you only get married once!
Maybe my lack of updating has been due to wedding planning, honeymooning and getting back into the swing of work. I surely want to share with everyone how happy we are. And how I want everyone back home to meet the Mr.
I have 15 minutes till I get to go home and watch the French Open Final.: Nadal vs. Soderling. Definitely a Nadal fan (since Federer is out)! And eat Bamia. (Say it: Bil Hana Wa Shifa!)
