Forest of Words

Roses are red

Violets can be blue

Do bad shit, and God’s law says

Karma will follow you 

Waiting patiently to deliver precisely what you deserve 

You reap what you sow

You harvest what you plant

So remember these words carefully, 

You get what you give 

You get what you deserve times ten

What you put out in the world 

It comes back to you

Do good in each and every day 

and say kind words 

watch as Allah returns blessings to you

Another night of needing and missing you 

It’s Thanksgiving Eve, and you are what feels like millions of miles away

I love you 

I miss you, Umair 

In every possible way 

The moments that people take for granted each day

I go to bed wishing and hoping that today is our day 

The one where we are at the head of the line

We have jumped through hoops, and now it feels like we have been waiting an eternity at the finish line 

I love you, my darling 

The words are not nearly big enough

Tonight and every night, I go to sleep wishing and missing you

As you begin to embark on your holiday festivities and feasts

Take a look around you

The people surrounding you, sharing in the celebrations of the seasons and togetherness

I am grateful

I am blessed

I love my husband Umair

While my holiday table will be far more empty without our moms

and I had prayed Umair would be home by now! I’m grateful we are headed to our interview and I am grateful for our family

#NVC, #USEmbassyMuscat, #JakeWessel, #whitehouse, #chasingmysparkle, #Umair

Leaves are falling

Autumn is calling

I need you home

Each and every day

Families together matters! Absolutely! Husbands and wives together, families together a NONNEGOTIABLE HUMANITARIAN NEED & RIGHT!

The space of our journey to bring my husband home has been. (So far) of 912 days-ish (I have loved Umair far beyond the space and time of each of these days. That’s 21,888 hours-ish, 1,313,280 minutes-ish, and 78,796,800 seconds-ish! Each and every one of these has been an eternity of space, and I have missed Umair. We spend our days together, and we spend our nights together. We go through all the motions of life: we cook together on opposite sides of the globe, plan together, dream together, and even window shop together. The space and time where we have waited to be inside our home together is beyond massive. I need to feel his touch, kisses, and arms around me. I need to feel him playing with my curls as I drift off to sleep. I want to feel him to kiss me deeply. We have been waiting in what seems like a never-ending line. I can’t wait for him to get on a plane, get his ass home and listen to his growl as he claims I am HIS, and it’s completely and utterly true! I love you Umair!!! I love you!

I reported you to the FBI!!! I hope you have a nice day! Don’t do the crime if you don’t want to serve the time. Don’t take what’s not yours because that’s kind of the point it’s not yours!

and per my usual style

roses are freaking red

violets are sometimes blue

why you gotta be a giant turdsicle

and take things that don’t belong to you!

bite me, you freaking a$$hat

you think your so smart

and everyone else is dumb

I hope you get exactly what you deserve

a picnic behind bars

Come with me, let’s take a ride. The beauty is there just close your eyes. Drift out to sea, take a breath and find your peace. Oman visually captured by Umairi Ch

I love it when Umair makes his ears wiggle 

I love it when Umair makes his eyebrows dance

The simplest, sweetest glances 

Suddenly, I’m butter

Melting in the pan

I love that man

I love that man 

He has my heart and soul

I should be sleeping; instead, I’m daydreaming of the moment I get to hold him forever 

I am hoping and wishing Umair finally gets to come home

I should be sleeping instead, 

I’m aching for you, Umair

I love you

photo drop from my husband, Umair

Pitter Patter goes my heart

Need you every second, minute, and hour of each and every day

You are my first thought 

My last thought 

You take my breath away

I love you, Umair 

More and more each and every day

I adore you 

I treasure you 

You hold my heart

Happy Anniversary, just a smidge early! Sunday is our ten-month anniversary as husband and wife

I love you, baby
