White House Spring Garden Tour

This past Saturday, I went to the White House Spring Garden Tour. Doesn't my date look adorable? I was pretty excited. I mean its the White House, come on! Saif was pretty excited but I'm pretty sure he thought we were going inside.  The tour started at 2 and of course we got there at 2:15ish. Don't worry, we made it! Probably a good thing we arrived late, the security line was short. We passed security, were handed a pamphlet and that was it. We got to walk around the White House Garden, surrounded by men with big guns, and see which president planted what. It was super sunny so I didn't get many pictures but I did get the front of the White House. The weird thing was, it actually isn't as big as you think it would be. After watching White House Down, I definitely want to get a tour of the inside. 

Next thing to visit in DC: Library of Congress. 

Bushra's Birthday

God, I've been away for a while. I feel like all my blog posts start with me apologizing for not blogging enough. In other news, Bushra got married with Atif. AHHH. Bobo got married (as if you can't from the spaceship sized rock on her finger; good job Atif)! Unfortunately, I was a complete slacker and took very few pictures. Also, like always, my phone ran out of battery. I put all my trust in Azeem & Waseem & Rehan Bhai from ARW for complete coverage. I will post some pictures as soon as I get them (hopefully the photobooth pictures come soon!). The wedding was amazing, can't believe its all over. The days leading up to it were kind of slow but then it was Wednesday and Sunday and then all over. Each minute of every day was incredible. Bushra looked beautiful all days and Ati look meh, decent :)

Thank you everyone for coming and making it amazing. 

Anyhow, its that time of the year. April. April is Bushra's [insert a number between 21-25] birthday. Bushra was clever enough to have her wedding in the same month as her wedding. So for the past 3 weeks, its all been about Bushra. First dholkis, then mehndis, then baraat, valima and now endless birthday parties. We had a BBQ at Leesylvania Park, which by the way, is gorgeous. I'll post pictures of the BBQ another time. The highlight was this amazing sunset at the end of the day. So pretty. 

So what can I say about Bushra? Bushra is, Bushra. Shes my best friend, my older sister, my confidante, my mentor, I fight with her at least twice a day and make up within seconds of yelling at each other, we have endless inside jokes, she can read my mind, she keeps me in my place but spoils me when necessary, shes funny, shes loving, shes caring, shes selfless, shes creative, shes lazy (so so lazy), shes late, shes funny, shes humble, shes sincere, shes strong, shes Bushra. Once you meet her, you can't help but to fall in love with her. It is almost impossible to not like her, which by the way is incredibly annoying at times. 

Happy Birthday baby girl, I love you.
