I’m sorry, I just couldn’t help myself with the title…it’s been a longtime coming, people, let’s face it.
Anyways, so I did indeed go to Norway and it was a really nice trip. I wish I had gotten more time in Oslo; I really enjoyed the days with Amo Khaled and Khaltoo Amal and the kids, but I would have liked more time with Nour and Rima and the rest of the family in Oslo. It was so refreshing to be around family again, especially such kind members from it. But I will say Khaloo Nawaf totally broke my heart, especially on the last day and Khaltoo Hiyam just broke down crying when I left, so of course I started crying and the waterworks just spread from there. Regardless, alhamdulilah, he’s doing a lot better and alhamdulilah it could be a lot worse.
I put pics up on facebook, but for Mom, Dad, and some other non-facebookers, here’s the link:

that’s rima. she’s khaltoo khitam’s (khaltoo hikmat’s sister’s) daughter. she’s a sweety. you’d love her.
and who told you you’re not old enough to be a khaltoo? besides thats how she was introduced to me, so i’m just doing the be respectful thing. and she says hi to you by the way, she kept calling me lamis all weekend – it was pretty funny.
