**PARTY**

I got a big surprise tonight....and they had it planned since we went to the mosque today...We were all standing outside and my Fiance and all of his room mates were talking in Moroccan arabic and of course unless they are talking about tea, bread, the cat, or some other easy words then I have no clue what they are saying...but they were talking about me planning a PARTY to CELEBRATE me becoming a MUSLIM!!! well as you know from my earlier post that I have been cleaning and organizing my Fiances room all evening while he is at work until 2am...so he calls me and says that he has to stop by the store and get some drinks...because if you know Moroccans they stay up really late and they eat at night...strange but after 2 years I am getting used to it...So he gets home and I had decided to take a shower and put makeup on so i wouldnt look like the cleaning lady and he comes and looks at his room and he loves it and says ok put your scarf over your head its time for the party. I was like what party is it someones birthday or what he said your party for becoming muslim...I was so happy that these guys who i love like my own brothers had thought about me and love me enough to do something so kind and generous for me. I have pics I will put them on when i email them from Aziz's iphone. and that is my PARTY STORY...goodnight Sisters!!

    Masha'Allah, that must have been so exciting! Not to mention a well-deserved break after organizing a closet all day!

    How lovely!

    I remember when I became a Catholic and my family was totally against it. (They are of no faith.) It was a dark, rainy night and I felt so bad at my baptism because there was hardly anyone there. But then one of my Aunts showed up... and after my baptism the organ started to play. I was so surprised that the organist was playing for me!

    Afterwards I was told, "Come with us!" and I was brought downstairs where the few folk had arranged a lovely little party! I was so touched! And suddenly what I thought was a rather sad way to start my life as a Catholic turned into a wonderful welcome into the Church!

    To be very honest, it's okay but I don't love it like some expat women do. I always tell people we are here by circumstance, not choice because of a long visa story...and I think it clouds my view of the place. There are of course many wonderful things about Morocco, but for me the bad sometimes outweighs the good. I don't mean to offend anyone by saying that, but we both just really miss our American life! Insha'Allah we will be back to the US next year to restart life again! I blog about it if you are interested: http://760days.wordpress.com. I'm very honest about our expriences here as well as write about how to deal with livin life here for people who are thinking of moving here. Sorry to be long winded, but i'll just finally say that if I came here just for a visit I'm sure I'd leave saying I loved it!
