Home is where the heart is...

Home really is where the heart is, in my case with my family...

 My husbands family I have to say are the most sweetest kindest people I have ever met masha'allah, my husbands mother who has had some and still has some major health issues due to 2 kidney transplants I have never seen anyone as strong as she having a positive outlook on the life and such a kind hearted person that loves Allah and everyone else for the sake of Allah, I could not imagine how anyone could not ever like this kind soul....every time I want to help out in the kitchen she always insist that I go sit and go relax but I want her to relax because of her health problems she sometimes gets edema in her feet and can only eat some foods other wise she would be very sick, miskeen wallah so I try to help her out the best way that I can....

As for my father in law wallah you have no idea how good it feels to have a father that says your my daughter and beautiful, my husband had lost my phone so we thought he did but we forgot he gave it to me earlier in the day so he was searching searching and finally in the end he told me search in your purse, I told him it's not in there but I'll look and his father was there too and sure enough my phone was there in my purse wallah I felt so embarrassed and his father jokingly took off his igal an pretended that he was going to hit me but instead you are my beautiful daughter, wallahi I wanted to cry because it is something I have not heard in such a long time but we all had a good laugh wallah I love him and my mother in law very much masha'allah and really look forward to creating happy memories...

Today we had people come over for a dinner they invited some relatives and but before there arrival his sister which is my husbands younger sister she is as well as her other sister are the sweetest young ladies I have met I am more then happy to call them my sisters, anyway before our guest arrived she helped with my makeup and masha'allah she did such a good job that I looked totally different but I absolutely love how that they have welcomed me into there family and treated me as if I am a part of the family, I still have well 2 more that I haven't met my husband has 2 brothers and 3 sisters, I met his older brother at the airport who was kind enough to tell me "welcome to the family" this was very touching and heart warming to hear, and his older sister I really look forward to meeting her....

The dinner with the invited family I think went rather well masha'allah a couple of his relative spoke English so I was not completely out of the loop of things, but when it came to the dinner time masha'allah the food was so delicious lamb with rice which was different colors of orange and yellow, I can't remember the name of it but it was so delicious, I was concerned that they where going to throw the rest of the food away because that's what I always hear but they share it with the neighbors, or friends which I found such a beautiful thing to do and very generous...

My husbands family are very kind and loving people I am so happy that there grandparents love them so much and are enjoying them and they have so much fun together, and for me I get to have some free time at last so woohoo for that lol.

overall I don't think I have felt this content in a very long time, I know that there are some things I will need to adjust to but I think insha'allah within time that I will get the swing of things and I will be very happy, do I miss home? of course I love my family but really I love it here and I am for ever grateful to Allah for making it possible for me to live here....
