Busy Busy!

We've spent the past 4 days in Giza at Mohammad Tareks (DH's cousin), looking at flats in 6th October, exploring the city and eating lots of delicious food.  We have picked our flat, the first one we looked at with the open view. Ahmed called the real estate company and asked them to hold it for us, so he can go in and sign the paperwork for it. I'm super excited but also know the work begins once we sign the papers. Ahmed will be in Dubai soon so while he is gone I will start painting the bedrooms and accent wall in the living room. I want it to be so cozy for Ahmed when he returns because I know he will be launched into his work immediately. The Mall opens the beginning of September and I know it will be nonstop through the next few months.

We took Rania (DH's sister) to have her first hookah session, she asked about doing it a few days before and 6th October has a really lovely outdoor hookah lounge with comfy seats, dancing lights and great juices/ice creams.  They shared peach shisha and smelled oh so delightful. She liked it and was getting spacey and hilarious but she smoked too much and didn't love it anymore. I don't think she will be doing it again. It was a good time though!
I love the downtown area there are lots of shops and cafes, its super easy to walk and there's a beautiful grand Mosque. It was so vibrant while we were there, Ramadan puts people in such a happy mood and lots of good energy. Families and friends out walking, talking, laughing and just enjoying the beauty of life.


I had my first driving experience! I've been super nervous about doing it here because traffic is insane but I've been studying the ebb and flow for the 5 months I've been here. I feel much more confident with highway driving verses the city because of the level of congestion and tight spaces. I drove from the outskirts of the downtown to the highway. It was pretty natural feeling, I have to get used to the feeling of always paying attention for speed bumps. They are all over the roads and not colored to be visible. It was easy and I had no problems, we will see what city driving brings 0_0 lol

 MT directed me where to go and we ended up at a random patch of desert just outside of the city. I parked and we headed into the desert where a lone random mini mountain was. We climbed to the top and were provided with a beautiful view of the city lights. I loved it the air was so clean, the view perfect and the energy was relaxing. Ahmed and I sat talking about our future and making plans. We are both excited for what is to come...its been a heck of a ride the past two years and 2016 has brought the biggest of surprises ;)
After 30 or 40 minutes a random man in a galabya arrived mysteriously in the desert and walked up the mountain where we were. Ahmed told me he is an Arabian bedouin and he makes his home anywhere he wishes. He can happily live at this place with ease and comfort. I love that so much. We headed out to leave him to his peace and headed back to Giza.I love driving back into Giza and seeing the pyramids, they loom out where ever you go. Megaliths to the ancient world, mysterious and powerful.

At some point during our time we headed to The Mall of Arabia and walked around it. Ahmed needed to get some things to prepare for his trip and I had a little slice of home while there. Cold Stone Creamery...my love! it makes me happy to share these experiences with him. The man who prepared my ice cream put on quite a show tossing the ice cream ball into the air, flipping it around, catching it with different scoops. I haven't had a show like that in the states every so 5 stars sir!

Through exploring we were able to find some really great affordable home good stores to furnish our flat with.  I need to make a list soon to start preparing. I'm so ready and excited to move! I just need an internet job please God send me the right one. I need that cash flow to build up savings and prepare for the future. It's okay I know everything will come together as its supposed to and the right job will manifest.

Trust, Focus, Patience and then reward.
