Happy Birthday Hassan!

Happy Birthday, Hassan! April 4th seemed so far away and now it's almost over. I hope that with our move, Hassan has 100 more birthdays, or as they say in Polish, "Stolat!"

Tonight's our last night in "our" house. It's been an incredible run with the great memories we've made at 4305 Stillwater Lane.

In keeping with our move, this may be my last post for awhile. We will be packing up the computer (again) and getting it ready to go.

We fly out of Dulles on Friday afternoon and will switch planes in Milan, Italy, then onto Cairo. I am somewhat nervous about flying (Hassan gets a kick out of it, really).

Please keep us in your dua's as we travel and make our way to Egypt. Insha'Allah I will write from Cairo shortly after we land.

Ma3salaama and love to all,

Marian

Happy Birthday Hassan!!! Wow I can't believe that you will be flying on Friday!! Seems like yesterday you were almost ready to get your house on the market. Time flies...

Mo and I will definetly keep you all in our dua's and Insha'Allah you will arrive here safely. Don't worry about the flying. Once you are in the air, just relax and rest. You deserve it.

Take care and hope to see you soon here in Egypt!

Salaams and lots of hugs,
Layla

Layla,

Thanks for the Happy Birthday wish. Yes, our day is arriving quite quickly and we are all a flutter (sp?)(well, exhausted, but a flutter). You know all about it, you left in December and it was only yesterday, wasn't it? Thanks for your prayers. Insha'Allah we will see you soon.

Ma3salaama and love,

Marian

Marian,
Insha'Allah your trip will be quick and easy for all of you. You are in my duas!

This is the best part really because once you close the door and head to the airport there is just nothing more to be done. You can relax because there is no way to do one more thing. It's all water under the bridge now!LOL
