update

exactly one month from now we'll be sitting at home and having some tea with my parents, watching falling snowflakes behind the window, and wondering whether the Holy Land really happened to us:)

oh, and we get to go on pilgrimage in two weeks! exciting!

and... Happy-Gappy birthday, Vidya joon!

words have layers.

Happy birthday, Jamal:)

It's my brother-in-law's birthday today:)

I am back in the blog world. it is so nice to be on vacation! but i miss the office and everyone there already! tomorrow i am going to work in bahji for half of the day and then i and amir will go to the Shrine together. and sunday-back to full time service again:) i have tonns of pictures from my mom's trip here, but i won't be able to post them until i am on my conputer in the office which is where i am not right now:) so, hopefuly, next week some stories and pictures from my beautiful mom's trip to the holy land.
meanwhile we just realized that we are here for another 6 weeks only, and then off we go to kazakhstan. strange mixed feeling of excitement and worrying how things will turn out for us there... asking for your prayers, friends, it is going to be a wonderful and probably with some tests transition:)
