Exactly One Month Left!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Whats up everyone... We doing good, as you can tell by the title, the countdown is ticking away...lol... I wish it was that easy tho, just to sit back and then catch the plane home... We have exams coming up!!!!!! And we still have to study, though it is safe to say half of our minds are back home already, the other half wants to join but its not allowed :) Not yet anyways, besides that, we have begun to start packing, i know you may be thinking, but why start so early??? well, there are many clothes that we brought here that we havent worn all year long... For example, I dont wear short sleeve shirts here anymore, most of the time I am wearing the traditional Arab dress (dishdasha/khanzu) and sabiha is always wearing an abaya, so alot of clothes we will only wear back home, therefore those things have been packed :)

We havent seen too many pilgrims these last few weeks, in a way its been good cause we have been able to focus on our studies (just kidding...lol.) We finally got a book in arabic about rings and stones... There are lots of important stones (like diamonds or zarconians, ruby...etc) in Islam and lots of significances to wear them and the good it does to you.. so we are almost becoming experts.. lol, atleast we learning something right...haha..

On a final note, the LAKERS are in the Western Conference Finals...OH MY GOODNESS, we really missing it alot... Our brother in LA has recorded one of the games, but if anyone wants, you too can record the games for us and save it onto a DVD...lol...

K, pray for us!!!

Hey Jaffer,
Glad to see you are coming home. Are you done with your "journey" now?

The family and I are moving back to LA next month too. I hope to see you out there and to hear about your Syrian experiences.

Take care.
