Peace Be Upon You…it’s been such a long time and I have lots to share, but so little time to spend in the CC (Cyber Cafe). So today, I decided that I’d do a quick post. I have moved! Yes, I finally moved. I was very sad to leave my housemates in my former house, but inshaAllah, this new home will benefit me as well.

This new place where I moved to a week ago, is not new. It is an old Arabic House, with 5 rooms, 2 kitchens, a woody balcony and a huge courtyard.
