Day 50- IKEA & Istaraha

50 DAY ANNIVERSARY!!!!!! (I just can’t believe it’s been 50 days already!!! Amazing!!!)


Last week we went to IKEA and bought a few things, and they finally arrived today! They even installed everything. Even though my apartment is still missing a few things, I feel as if it’s beginning to look more like a home, and I’m really happy for this. Because what I hate more than anything is an apartment or house that is empty and doesn’t feel homey!

I was also invited to an Istaraha (it’s when people rent out a beach house or the equivalent of a summer house and just hang out and have dinner and just have fun). It was actually more fun than last time I went. It’s my 2nd time to this one. The people that go to it are all somehow related to one another (except my sister-in-law and I of course, but we are close friends, so it makes for something, right?) The Istaraha was just women, so everyone took off their abayas and head scarves.

We had lots and lots of coffee and sweets, which is something they do BEFORE dinner, and then came dinner at around 10:30 pm!! Yes, very late!

After dinner, they had music and all the girls danced. I had to show them some of my dance moves too! ;) At around 11:30 pm, we had my brother come get us.

Much Love, HKA in KSA
