The Pride of India!

I am so excited for my two little friends! Today and yesterday I went to watch Arub and Lamis compete in the schools Spelling Bee.

Arub just turned 9 and is in the forth grade. Yesterday she competed against all the 10, 11 and 12 year olds and took FIRST PLACE! Yay! Arub!

Lamis is in my daughter's kindergarten class and today she was the only 5yr old competing against all the 6, 7, 8, and 9 yr. olds. She took THIRD PLACE! She was amazing!
I'm so proud of my little friends! I made them some cookies to celebrate.
In this picture Arub is the one on the bottom left and Lamis is next to her in the yellow shirt. Aren't they just beautiful girls! I call them my little princesses.

This picture includes my very good friend, Meher. She is Lamis and Arub's mother. I just love her! She is such an awesome person! She is such a good example to me. I just love her!

This is Lamis and Arub's father, Mujahead, and grandpa, Muhammed. I miss their grandfather, he flew back to India in February. He was so kind to us and is just a wonderful man.

This whole family is the pride of India. I have just fallen in love with the Country because of them. Now if I had the opportunity to go anywhere in the world... anywhere... it would be INDIA!

Me Wearing a Sari


We have some neighbors who are from India. We have become good friends. They are such a wonderful family!! They invited us over for dinner last night. It was deeelicious!! mmm! mmm! Indian food is now my new favorite. My friend, Meher, gave me one of her Sari's as a token of our friendship. I think Sari's are so incredibly beautiful, I was thrilled to receive it! Meher's family practices Islam. I wish the news media would show how wonderful REAL Muslims are. It seems that only the extreemists are the ones that ever make the news... it's sad because these people are not like that. I have never met a family more warm, more kind, and more comfortable to be around... they would never in a million years hurt anyone!!! If I wasn't such an albino you might mistake me for part of their family when I am with them because of how well I am treated. They are such a blessing to us and to our community.
