I am moving insha Allah on Saturday from this house to an apartment, but something in my heart is making me very excited about it. I want a fresh start. I want to leave these bad memories behind. I know it's not the house itself, but I had many negative feelings associated with this house because this is where everything from the last year transpired. I am excited to go back to the complex where my husband and I first lived together.
My husband and Lisa have been married one year this past Sunday. They got married on the 19th on November 2005. I didn't know until Dec. 26, 2005. So a year ago at this time my life was a completely different. I was clueless as to what was going on in my life. It's hard to look back, but I never would have thought that I would be here a year later and feel the way that I do. I am always amazed at Allah's plan. I wonder where I will be a year from now? Insha Allah the following year will be better than this one. This past year wasn't all bad if I have to say.....I've learned a lot about myself. I learned a lot about my strengths and my weaknesses. I've learned how much I love my life. I love my family. I love my husband. Most Importantly I love Allah. I love Islam. Allah has put me in this situation for a reason and I plan to benefit others through it. I never thought I'd be here, but I am and I am still breathing. Alhamdulillah!!!

Asalamalaykom Vena,
You have what it takes, girl, to get through this life! I am very in tune with where you're coming from. Thanks for sharing from your big heart. May your move feel like forward. :)
Assalaamu'alaikum,
I've been following your blog and thought I would say hello since I've set up a blogger's account.
I wish you all the best in your move and may this prove to be a wonderful fresh start. You attitude is inspiring. Yes, you have benefited others through your handling of your situation! Jazakallah khairan.
Assalmu alaikum vena...
There's a saying "Al haraka feeha baraka" (In every move there's a blessing).
Inshallah I'm sure that this change will be kheir for you and your children. Everyone needs a change every once and a while and only Allah knows "al kheir fein".
May Allah give you all you desire.
MashaAllah, you have passed through so much in just one year, may Allah swt reward you for your patience,consideration and perserverance...I didn't realise it was such a short time, you've really got it together so quickly...inshaAllah you will continue to have the strength you have.
"Al haraka feeha baraka".....OH MY!! I hear that almost every day here...LOLOLOL!!!!

Assalaamu alaikum Vena,
Mashaa'Allah, I've been reading through your blog, and I'm astounded.
We don't have a choice in being brought into this world or even being taken out. The only thing we have a choice in is our attitude and ou rbehaviour.
May Allah increase you and grant you the highest Jannah. Ameen.
I've never been married, but I can honestly say that how you handled, what many consider a 'worst case scenario' - reflects the forbearance and husn adh-dhan that Islam emphasizes.
I ask that Allah facilitate your affair and bless you with righteous children.
You've inspired me sister. Jazak Allaahu khayr for that.
- Your sister in Islam
