Eyjafjallajökull volcano

From my last post, we have been extremely busy. Time flies! During that time, Pishi's friend visited us and stayed at our place for a few days and it was interesting to have him over. The most astonishing part was his opinions on women which I think he is a pure ref elect of what Iranian men think in Iran. I was shocked on some of the things he said and I thanked God that Pishi is nothing like him.

Last week Pishi and I visited pishi's cousin family and it was fun talking to them, realizing that his wife goes through the similar emotions at work as I do! It was a venting session for both of us and our poor husbands were just listening!!

Sunday, we visited my friend and their new born. He was so peaceful and cute. Seeing him really made me want one! such that I couldn't control myself and I told pishi in front of them :) The layout of their home was great and I think I really would enjoy living somewhere like that!

The SPC course final exam went well. I must say that was one the best courses I have ever taken. Now I am more confident in decisions I make and am aware of the risks statistically. The morning of the exam I got great advice on how to try take stress out of my life and get a balanced life style. I think one way is the vacation that I am taking. Next week this time, we are in London airport. Although there is a slight chance that it gets cancelled due to Iceland volcano activity but we both are looking forward to it.
Eyjafjallajökull volcano first erupted on March 21, 2010 this year. The first day of spring! Then it again erupted on April 14th which has forced hundreds of people to evacuate their homes and has caused the planes to be grounded. Last time this volcano erupted was in 1823. In a way it is funny how events like that reminds us how fragile human life is. I am glad to be experiencing this event in my life time. I wish I can go and visit Iceland.

Pishi's last day at work in this Friday. He resigned from his work to focus on a company that he and his partner started.

Work wise, it has been crazy and let's just say, I am glad that we are off on vacation for 3 weeks.
My boss has agreed to show more flexibility so I can work from home if need be.

A head hunter did contacted me for another job that had less responsibility and more pay and I really was tempted to take offer to go ahead but I decided to wait a bit. May be after another 6 month. Hopefully things get better and less stressful.

Yesterday, we bought all the gifts for the kids of the family and I am glad to say that only 2 pending and today is cleaning time and planning for next week!
