This is a really long post about all of our holiday activities this year from decorating to traditional Christmas eve shenanigans to friendsmas. It was a great way to end the year! Check out my decorating skills, Sami’s 2D tree, and all of the food we made and consumed :)
I surprised Sami with a breakfast of egg in a hole. He really liked it :)
This is the first part of our Lebanon blog. We did so much and had so many pictures, I had to break it into 2 blogs. This one will talk about Beirut, Mount Lebanon, Bchallah, the Lebanese Cedars, Batround, the Jeita Grotto, and Harissa. Enjoy!
July was a busy month for family visits. My mother came at the start and hung out for a week. Then towards the end, Billy and his family came to hang out and go on vacation too.
Sammy and I went to the OC Lebanese Festival this weekend and enjoyed great food and good entertainment!
We recently had our 1 year wedding anniversary. It has been an exciting year of change: getting married, getting a new job, moving, going to Japan, getting a puppy, etc. So we really wanted to make the anniversary special to celebrate being together and all that has come with that. So we decided to celebrate over 2 days. The first day we went to Disneyland (I got us annual passes for an anniversary present; Sammy got me a really nice bike. I bike to work everyday so it’s thoughtful and something I really wanted). The second day we decided to go to the local aquarium as a call back to getting married in an aquarium. I thought it was a cute idea anyway. Also, the local aquarium does whale watching adventures in the Pacific Ocean, something both of us have wanted to do for a while.
The Wedding finally arrived and it truly was the best day. The day I married my best friend surrounded by those closest to me.
The Save the Dates came in and I am thrilled with how they turned out. We worked our Photoshop skills to make a Save the Date that was true to us and our wedding theme. We did have a little trouble with shipping, but overall hope that you get some entertainment from them too.
We just got back from Universal Studios Orlando and had an amazing 3 year anniversary. Here is my account of The Wizarding World of Harry Potter (spoilers, it’s awesome!), Simpson’s Land, Jurassic Park World, and more. Hope you enjoy my retelling of our vacation, and maybe pick up some tips if you are planning on going yourself. Fair warning though: this one is kind of long so TL:DR Harry Potter World = awesome, I got to be a wizard; Simpson’s Land was full of potential but ultimately was a disappointment; Jurassic Park World was awesome but don’t eat there; Go to King Kong, Spiderman, Transformer, all Harry Potter rides; Be cautious of the older rides.

We spent a few days in Dallas trying to finalize some parts of our wedding. We were extremely successful in that endeavor. It was a good trip all around, and a special thank you to everyone who drove up to support us.
We are taking our wedding planning to the next level. We are flying out to Dallas at the end of the month to meet with a bunch of vendors and make the hard decisions. Most importantly, we will have our venue and caterer booked by the end of the trip. Read the full blog for more details, and find out what I have already got planned! #HamdanEverAfter
We got our engagement pictures done in San Francisco. These are my feelings on the whole event.
I have tried to cram all of the emotions I went through during the proposal into this post. Warning, it is a bit long, but worth the read if you want to know how the proposal went from my point of view. Also, I rant a little about my awesome ring!
