Last Night
Well last night I made the most yummy samosa's for the 1st time! Alhamdulillah they were really good! My mom and Alle came over to have some and they loved them too! I like making them they were very simple! Now that I am in my own place I am cooking a lot more! I really am learning that cooking can be an escape from all your worries! I love cooking! and well I am still trying to figure out how they make them triangular because mine didn't work that way! oh well!MMM SAMOSA'S!!!
Later last night I was pealing a pomegrante and thinking SubhanAllah the creator is amazing! all the little seeds placed so intricatly in this fruit and then the juice that comes from the seeds truly amazed me and made me think just look at this one creation so small yet packed full of beauty! I think today I will make a fruit salad with all the pomegrante I have :) I'm excited since its my favorite fruit!

One more day
So to be honest; I really wanted Eid to be tomorrow but Alhamdulillah it's on Monday so what does that mean ONE MORE DAY OF FASTING. The last days are very difficult for me and well one more day sounds so difficult; but I decided I will have to think about the blessings of fasting instead of the difficulties of fasting.
- To fast one more day will give me one more chance to cleanse myself of any wrong I may have done and ask for Allah's forgiveness.
- To fast one more day will give me the opportunity to become closer to Allah.
- To fast one more day will give me the dedication and love for Allah that I need to continue to strengthen.
- To fast one more day will help me remember how blessed I am that I can provide for myself enough food to be content. Alhamdulillah!
- To fast one more day will help me see that in this world there are families that go hungry day in and day out; Alhamdulillah I have food for each and every time I need and want it.
- To fast one more day will help me appreciate the beauty of my religion and keep me on the straight path, Inshallah.
I have to say this Ramadan flew by and its very sad its coming to an end; but Alhamdulillah I have made it through and just pray all my fellow brother's and sister's benefited from this blessed month, as I did. Ameen.

All Settled In :)
Alhamdulillah the move went well and I am officially all settled into my own apartment! It's so fun to be able to come home and only have ME there and I can throw off my scarf and not worry about it; like I did when I lived at home.
I am at peace with my decision to move out; I feel so happy and now I can do the things I enjoy without feeling like I am being judged by my family!
I am planning a house warming party in November sometime, Inshallah. I'll keep everyone posted!
I hope everyone's last 10 days of Ramadan are going well. Alhamdulillah mine is :)
Inshallah see you all soon :)

I went shopping because I wanted to find a rug for a decent price and well I found the cutest rug and it was 50% off too it was a one day sale and I made it last night! Alhamdulillah! and then when I was driving out of the parking lot of the store there was a Goodwill there but one of the O's was missing and it read GODWILL! ALHAMDULILLAH. That made me sooooo happy and almost brought tears to my eyes!
I believe this move is meant to be :) Allah Aleem!
