This is quite exciting, I like awards! On Jan 6, 2014, I was nominated by A Mom’s Blog for the Reader Appreciation Award. Thank you so much, Zainab! I’m really new to blogging, having only just started here on Dec. 5, 2013, so I honestly consider it a huge honor to have made so many friends so quickly. I can not thank you all enough for the kind words and encouragements you have offered with your friendship! But I will try: Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you! But it’s still not enough ;^)
So, now I will happily share with you all 7 things about myself:
1. I absolutely love being Muslim – Islam is my anchor
2. I hope I will die a martyr – insha’Allah by any of the nonviolent means!
3. I hope I will go to the Paradise, and be my husband’s wife there, too, insha’Allah, I love him so much
4. I was born into a nice big Irish Catholic family, there are no muslims in my family except me
5. I went to Catholic school through the fourth grade, and learned to love God from the nuns there
6. I never dreamed of growing up and becoming Muslim, or an Egyptian, but I’m very happy that it happened
7. I’m very thankful for ALL the blessings Allah has given me, but especially my son and daughter!
Now for my Nominees for the Readership Appreciation Award, I’d like to offer it to the following excellent and appreciative bloggers who took the time to read and comment on my blog posts. Thank you for your friendship! I appreciate you! Xoxoxo ;^)
