and to my suprise I am kinda enjoying it. I love to wear my high boots, parka, gloves and mittens, but I know that likeness will not last for long...winters here can be very brutal.
I have finally finished my Master's thesis and am finished with school overall, I feel this is a huge chapter that has finally come to a close in my life. I started on my Master's degree when I was 21 years of age, got married, moved, had a baby and finally finshed at the age of 29! I guess I have accomplished a lot in between, not to mention I had to change schools twice, yes, I attended three different graduate schools for the same degree..what a pain, but quite and experience.
Its been a while since I've written, I know, so much as happened since the summer. Iman is talking like crazy, work is going well and I have no complaints. We are headed to Houston next week, so I am really excited about that.
Everyone seems to be asking me "when is the next one coming", although I do want another child, I am so comfortable with the way things are, at this point. My career is only going to move forward, now that I have my masters (inshallah), my body is at its healthiest peak, now that I have returned to the gym on a regular basis, Iman is finally sleeping through the night (most nights anyway) and lots of other stuff. Yes, a baby is a blessing in every way, but just not sure if I am ready for the second one just yet, ah well, its all in Allah's hands, we will see.
I went to Chicago recently, for business, my cousin and I treated ourselves to a spa, and it was great, it was my first time. I've treated myself to a massage here and there, but never actually recieved a treatment at a proper spa. After that experience, I feel all women should treat themselves to a spa at least twice a year, I plan on taking my sis an mom when I go to Houston.
Well, other than that, things are going pretty well, maybe I will have some more interesting material posted after my trip to Houston, but as for now, things are the way they are---which is good.
Love Samia--stay tuned and Happy Holidays!

Hey there Chamia darling! OK, this is my attempt to comment. Although, I read your blog in my feed reader all the time. I love your thoughts. I am amazed and in awe of your super Mother role. It gives me great delight to know that Woman can have it all. [Mashallah!]
Anyways, keep on posting your thoughts here. I love to stay in touch with one of my oldest and dearest childhood friends.
with love,
Farida
