About Me

My hubby Khalid and I welcomed our sweet little Maya Jayne into the world on April 8th, 2009 and couldn't be more in love with her! We also have a Sharpei/Boxer mix named Ariel...best dog ever. Khalid works as a Program Manager and I am staying at home with Maya. I love my life and couldn't imagine it any differently! :)

Travels...

I often dream of the places I may go…..someday. My top four most wanted vacations…..and why….


1) Milan is of COURSE my first choice….to see the fashion mecca….I would be in heaven. After reading Eat Pray Love, (which I highly recommend) Elizabeth Gilbert made me ache for Italy. In fact, shortly after reading the book, I tried gelato for the first time. Yum. Delish. As I ate the teeny tiny bites of frozen milky goodness, I could envision myself sitting outside at a quaint little Italian café. Sigh.






2) Greece……seeing the history that exists there would be precious. I am intrigued by their culture and art. Don’t consider myself much of a history buff, but whenever I come across any programs about Greece, I usually have to watch. Also, I am a fan of “The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants.” There. I said it. I am a big dork. Seriously though (all dorkiness aside), that movie made me want to go even more.






3) London. I want to ride on a double-decker bus. I have a toy double-decker that my parents got me as a souvenir from their trip in the 80’s. I am a girl that is easily amused and I have simple needs. What? Do I need big fancy reasons for picking a certain vacation spot? Other than a fun looking bus and listening to English accents all day? Sorry…that’s all I got.






4) Thailand. First of all they have the best food ever….am I right? (Here is where I would like to insert a little shout-out to Lemongrass in Edmond.) Second of all…Bankok….another fashion haven. I love the colors of Thailand and I know I would be so inspired just by walking the streets. Who wouldn’t want to lay on the beaches and enjoy that famously tropical climate? (Minus monsoon season of course.) And I really don’t want to get stuck there a la Claire Danes in Brokedown Palace. Have you seen that movie? Not her best, but I enjoy her.
