The Low-Down

I have been way too quiet lately.. especially with all that has been going on!

So I will break things down and let everyone in on my little secrets...

1 - My future Baby Daddy. Alhamdulillah. He is a convert like me. Weeee! He is from the Netherlands and has a very mixed background. Was raised Christian and converted almost 10 years ago. He is one year older than me. Uh... he's tall... dark... and I think he's handsome. Masha Allah. Is in construction. Leaving his life in another state to be with me. We shall build our empire TOGETHER!!

2 - Engagement. Forget Nice Guy nickname. I call him Fuzzy. So anyway.. Fuzzy and I were having this conversation about the whole process of getting married. Seems like Fuzzy didn't know all the technicalities about the wali, contract, etc. He just thought we'd show up to the masjid, get married, and live our life... I quickly put an end to that 'dream':

I won't even think of marrying someone if they haven't even met my parents. Especially my dad. Just cuz he's not Muslim doesn't mean that they don't deserve the respect and consideration one would normally give to a Muslim girl's family3

And with that oh-so-discreet hint.. Fuzzy scratched Plan A.

In June my dad went with his wife and my sister on a tour of Europe. When they came back (literally the next day) Fuzzy drove 12 hours to meet my dad and ask for my hand.

Met the parents. All is well, Alhamdulillah.

3 - Breaking the news to my son. At first he was very upset but now he has accepted it. What helped was Fuzzy coming last week and spending massive amounts of one-on-one time with Jilbabble Jr. while Jilbabble went to work. They are friends now. My son likes him. All bases are covered Alhamdulillah.

4 - Wedding. I had a small engagement party two weeks ago. Got dressed up, had hair and make up done. It was fun. Throwing this small, last minute party has opened my eyes to something I already knew about myself. Jilbabble doesn't do parties. At least for herself. Planning them, and then showing up and being the center of attention - MY WORST NIGHTMARE.

Family and close friends have dreamt of this moment when I'd finally find a nice man who wasn't a psycho or free-loader. They want a wedding... and they want it BAD! I kind of like the idea of something small.... and honestly I would prefer to do the whole gender-segregation thing but out of respect for my family, and since my feelings about it aren't that strong, I'll mix it up. ONe friend said JUST FIND THE DRESS AND WE'LL PLAN THE REST. So I might take her up on that offer.

But I want to do it sooner than later. There are many reasons. The main one is that I am a teacher (hee hee.. I finally admit it) and I am already beginning to prepare for the school year. Once the school year starts.. forget it. It will be too hard to a - teach, b - plan a wedding, and c - give new fuzzy husband his much needed and deserved attention.

Anyhoo.... That is all in a nutshell.....

Yes... I've finally found someone worthy of crowning Mr. Jilbabble. Hee hee...

I sort of mentioned him awhile ago and labeled him Mr. Nice Guy. From now on he will be referred to as NG.

I'll go into detail later... time for dhohr...

Uh, hi!

Salaam Alaikum to anyone who is still checking in on this blog. My apologies for not updating it...

I was out of town for over a week and got back last Tuesday. I drove to Californiaaaaa!!! My son and I had a lot of fun. Visited family and totally went to DISNEYLAND!!! Some have said, "Gee Jilbabble, you should have gone in a group so your son could have kids/friends to enjoy Disneyland..."

Well that sounds nice but it has been my dream to take him to Disneyland on my own. And I did it. I felt that anyone else would be an intruder. I kinda wanted it just to be me and him. And we had a lot of fun. Insha Allah it won't be our last time...

***

I have to go back to work on Thursday. Weeeeeeee! I am only working part time so that means I gotta pick up the monetary slack elsewhere... can we say 2nd job?!?!?! blah...

Stay tuned at the end of this week cuz I just may have some kick a$$ news, ya'll
