A great five-year journey

These days I'm working so hard that I feel I need my two week holiday come sooner. Before I actually burn out. I had thought we are somehow ready to add a new member to our family, but as we were window shopping that day and I found out how expensive a stroller is, I understood we need to have much more money to start the plan. I know it's jot all about financial stuff, but it is a big part of it. 

I usually don't like working on Fridays, but this term is really adorable. I've got Moj in my class as a student and that rocks. I often miss him while working and all I want is to get back home and have my night with him, so it's a relief to have him in my class. I took this one secretly when he was working on a task with his classmates. 

Well, we had our fifth anniversary and I had the thing covered on my Instagram. Still feel I should mention it . I feel blessed to be with such a great man. I may not be proud of myself when I look back  thinking about the decisions I have made during life but in choosing him I was damn right and wise. Wish to spend another 100 years with him. Yes that's my golden number to go! 

A gloomy religious city with the best food ever!

We decided to have a short trip to Mashad where my family live. We booked our flight and packed as quick as we could. I used to carry lots of luggage whenever I was going on a trip.He told me it pays to travel light and to be honest he was completely right! I'm trying to be a minimalist now and I think it works! So we packed our small red suitcase and put everything in it. I felt like Marry Poppins since everything was put in the small suitcase easily. 

The only thing I love about this city is that everything is ambrosial here. The perks of having my parents here is that we come here once in a while to visit them so we can have the most delicious meals too.

We were invited to my niece's birthday party and we had fun. I can't believe how fast my nephews and nieces have grown up. It feels great to see their personality being shaped out. 

Everytime we come here I try to find something to get connected to the city but it doesn't work. I hate it with so much I just wait to get back to Tehran. 

I sometimes think about the day my parents die and it feels so sad and gloomy but the fact is that I'm sure we won't have any other reason to come to this city anymore. 

My parents r so happy we r here and I can see that in their excited eyes. They both love my partner and that makes me feel great. 

We r going back on Monday by train and I have already saved many pages in my pocket so I can have a read on the train.

My Red-letter Days!

He has been working home for two days and to be honest it is my heaven! Having him home all day and watching him working is an energy booster for me.

Not only I miss him during the day but also I'm worried about him so much. Like is he having a good lunch? Has he got to his work safe and sound? Yeah it seems I'm from Missouri! 

I love watching him thinking about stuff and walking in the small living room we've got. He is such a scientist and  every single move he's got proves that! 

Feeling blessed ! 

Hats off to the beautiful weather!

I'm soon going to be a week off and the semester has already been finishing. Moj and I are taking a short trip to Mashad to visit my parents. It's like four days and my mom has already nagged about its length and has already tried to make me feel guilty about it. I don't know what it is about,but parents tend to make their children feel guilty a lot here and it sometimes goes on my nerves. 
Well, I promised myself to be active on the learning road,so I guess I should try hard not to give that feeling to my children in the future. 

We had the best Friday this week having lunch at this great restaurant Haj Mohsen and havig juice coming up with our besties.

 The night ended in rainy weather and that's what was Tehran missing. It is actually raining right now as I'm typing. It's so beautiful that I wish I didn't have to go to work and could have all day for myself. 

P.s : I love my mom but I believe living in another city and being far from her has been the best thing that has ever happened to me. She may nags a lot but it actually worked for the best for both of us. She is less needy and tries to have fun and that makes me happy. 

Hello The New Year!

Last year we tried our best on money to enhance the financial situation of our life. We did great. And I'm so proud of ourselves. We even gave back the money our parents had lent to us.

We also wanted to go to Tokyo too😆😳. We couldn't ofcourse. Since it is one the most expensive cities in the world, I'm gonna turn a blind eye to the fact that it hadn't happened. 

This year we made our resolutions bit harder and more complicated cause we believe we can. Let's see where 2016 takes us! 

Listen to the city all crying out loud!

Tehran is still polluted and it sucks cause we really wanted to spend more days out. As a child I didn't use to go out a lot. Conservative and overprotective parents happened at the same time! So it's like I'm finally on my own and I just wanna make up for all those years of solitude and indoor life. I actually enjoy being out in the nature or even the city. These days, however, we were trapped in. Tehran is in pain and nobody cares. 

Our flat is cold today and we decided to save up energy this year more than the last one. We are working on wearing more clothes here .. 

I literally went bonkers when he came home with these cute ear-covers the other day. 

We were just talking about having christmas in our house whenever we had a kid.( My dad and Mama would die of happiness if they could read this sentence!!) He was saying how great it is to teach kids to live with magic and dream and how smart they get when they start working out their imagination.

Wish Tehran gets better tomorrow and we can finally get out and enjoy the winter view of the city.

I have a time capsule and I'm happy

Since we had three days off, we decided to have it on a trip to north. I used to go on a trip with a bunch of people. This was the second trip I went on with him all alone. And I should confess it was perfect. When you are married to your best friend and you also love him to death, spending time with him is the most exciting thing you can ask for. 
We had so much fun. And I think the key is that we let each other have the space we need. There were times I was reading and he was playing games on his beloved laptop and it made the time we had with each other even more interesting.

I fell in love with Rasht. It is not only a beautiful city but also the most cheerful place I have ever seen. The colors make you crazy. I was all eyes and I coudn't get enough of it. We had a great experience at Shorekoli , a great local restaurant which had this motto to become universal one day. and I think it should. I literally cried having lunch there and the tears were real. I knew we are leaving this amazing city and it will be long since the next time I can have a bite of it. I strongly recommend the Kebab-Torsh and the Gamej-Kebab if you were going there.

My partner's parents were happened to be near to Rasht for a trip too, so we had a day with them. It was lovely seeing them all happy and excited. My partner's father made this delicious fish for us which I can't still forget the taste of.

There is a part on any trip that you want to capture the most and for me it was the moments we were walking in the bazar. I couldn't believe the beauty I was observing. There were times I was standing still staring at colors and I was feeling so happy I couldn't really breathe. I strongly suggest you to have a look at bazar if you are fond of nature and local culture.

I tried to capture many frames of this trip to have them all. I think of having a time capsule from time to time and I think I have one by using the Instagram and this blog. I can't wait to get back there.. When is the next great holiday ?
