On long distance relationships...

Long distance relationships can be really tough :(

My husband and I have been married for 3 months, almost, and so it hasn't been much of a relationship but it's difficult that he lives in a state that is an 11 hr drive from here and so we can't easily see each other.

School is the reason why I am still living at home with the parents... but sometimes balancing everything gets very difficult... especially when you have this deep longing to be with the person you love.

It's really tough some days, but especially due to the fact that he has absolutely NO ONE where he lives... he has no friends or anyone in that place :(

There aren't even any other muslims that he can befriend... and so when he gets home from work, it's basically him and his walls that eat, talk and sleep together.

A's visit here... Nov 26-- Dec 1st

We had an awesome time... he finally had the chance to sit with my family and relatives in a more relaxed environment.

Also, him and I had been married over a month and so we were pretty much at ease on his trip here... thankfully!

The night before he came, I had been soooo nervous because school had kept me bz and i had hardly had any time to properly clean up the room that he was to stay in, or anything!

So, I ended up skipping a day of school and finished cleaning up within seconds of him walking through the front door.

I was actually putting the final touches on some lentil soup when my dad knocked on the door (my dad had gone to pick him from the airport).

The trip was amazing, but too short... we were running around going from one party to another... plus, the weather was kinda icky and i caught a fever :(

But overall things went well... and though we had to cancel our own dinner plans, initially, to accommodate another dinner party, that ended up getting canceled because the hosts (my uncle's wife & her niece that's staying with them) got strep throat... so, eventually, my hubby, A, and I ended up going back to our original plan and had a fun night :)
