More pictures Me and.....

hubby (who is MIA sort of). We are trying to be friends even though we are still seperated. We really love each other. Just bad timing and he has a lot of emotional baggage he brought with him from Iraq! LOL

My husband, Rashid, me and my best friend's little boy named Ceiph. We took Ceiph to the zoo.

This is me hatching Ceiph. Ceiph is inside the egg but it's kind of dark. I tried ot lighten it a bit without compromising too much quality.

This is Rashid and Ceiph on the hobby horse. So cute! I had a time convincing hubby that he could get on the horse without being arrested and tortured. LOL

Tammie I hope that you and your husband can work out your differences, what ever they maybe. Looks like you guys had a great time at the zoo

Thanks Cathi. I hope we can too. It's so hard sometimes. And I know he wants to go back to Iraq. He says it would only be for 6 months but a part of me is afraid he won't come back and I distance myself from him to protect myself. And I can't blame him for wanting to go. He hasn't seen his family in almost 15 years because he was in the uprising against Saddam back in the day.

Those are great pictures! You are very lovely!! I hope things will work out for your hubby and you.

Thanks for sharing these pictures.... You all look happy regardless of your hubby's baggage..

The story about that last picture reminds me of the man I dated when I lived in Germany. He was from Iran and I'd have to cajole him to do little things like that too. I think in those countries they don't let adults do fun stuff like that.

Wow your hubby must be thrilled that Saddam is gone - I can understand why he wants to go to Iraq. Have you considered going with him? That was you can still be together and you will get to know his family and his roots.

Great pictures!! Thanks for sharing

He is absolutely thrilled saddam is gone. Of course he'd be even more thrilled if the *&%$@#* was dead. Rashid spent 3 years in one of Saddam's prisons/torture chambers. He wanted to join the Army and go fight with the U.S. I had a time convincing him that he's a bit old for that. Plus he has a bad back.

Yes, I've considered going with him but I'd want our relationship to be more stable. Right now we're not even living together. But I would absolutely love to go to Iraq someday. There is so much history there and of course, I'd like to meet his mother, siblings etc.

Tammie, hugs to you. This is difficult time, I do pray you work it out. My husband is the same way, has some baggage with his country and his mother. He hasn't been to his country Bangladesh in over 15 years due to his mother. He said he wouldn't be able to go until she's dead. Which is sad because he hasn't seen his dad or his brother and his father is getting older in his 70s and has a lot of sickness. I feel so bad when these things happen. Hang in there. I do the same thing, put a buffer zone around me in case something happens to him but then I can't really show him the love I have for him. A friend of mine told me to let the buffer zone down and to love him now before anything happens, considering I almost lost him in a horrible car accident. I do hope things work out soon so that you can be with him. Take care and lots of hugs to you.

Oh! Tammie what lovely pictures!

Thanks so much for sharing!
