It is offical. I am going to Mauritania later this year.
How offical you ask? WE HAVE THE TICKETS!!!!
"Are you freakin out?"
YEEEEEEEEESSSSSS!
"Are you excited?"
YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSS!!!
"How long will you be there?"
almost 6weeks plus we are going to Casablanca for a few days

I am attempting to cram in any hasania arabic I can find because pretty much Aly is the only one there who knows english. And I am sure you have heard me talk about how he is not a good translator. (he likes to just answer for me and not tell me what they said. Or he will give me just a vague jist of what was said EXAMPLE: someone has said something for about 5 whole minutes...I ask Aly what they said and he says ... they are talking about politics. THATS IT)

OK also
So far ramadhan is going pretty well.... every night (pretty much) Aly and I have iftaar together... then he goes back to work ... then when he comes home we have dinner...pray isha and taraweeh then off to sleep.

Have you been having that problem where you have been looking forward to dinner...dinner rolls around and you eat a few bites and you are FULL!!! Oh man I am begging my stomach to let out a bit so I can finish my food... But no such luck.
Actually we eat dinner about 3 or 4 hours after iftaar because we are soooo full from just the dates and soup (oh and bread yummy breaaaaaaad) we cant even think about eating more.

I have only gone to 2 peoples houses for Iftaar and we have only had his brother (and my cute nephew) over to our house for iftaar. But Aly and I both have said we like having iftaar at home the best....it is exactly what you want ...when you want it.

GOOD TImES

RAMADHAN MUBARAK!!!!

The last few Ramadhans have been pretty blah for me ..... I dont know if anyone else has had that problem.
So InshaAllah this one will be pretty cool.... well you know what I mean people getting together and learning cool things and all that rot.

My only thing is that now when all the dealers at work call me and are yelling at me or just fighting with me, I will be too tired to fight back and I will be just calm and quiet. ( they are not going to believe it is really me ahhaha)
