Mukhta's brother died

So I haven't been posting on here for the past few weeks because we had to shift to Azfar's parents house for a while, plus the semester has just started, so it's been a bit hectic. The reason we shifted to their house is that our domestic helper, Mukhta, had a family tragedy and had to go home for a while. Her younger brother died in a car accident. She's got five brothers, but as she has told me, he was the only brother who really cared about her. When I came to see her on the morning she got the news she was crying like I've only seen a few people cry in my life. So she has gone to her village home to be with her family.

Anyway. That means that we are now living for a while in a place that has a PHONE! So that means friends and family can CALL US please! (Is the hint strong enough yet?) Really, we'd love to get some phone calls. We haven't been able to talk to most of our friends in a long time, and we miss you all. It's way more expensive for us to call the US from here, so we'd be better off buying a phone card for some friends to share to call from the US. So. Hope that makes some folks motivated enough to call!

Videos of Salma

I finally figured out how to upload videos online, so if you want to see a few clips of Salma singing songs and being silly, check out my last couple of posts on her blog: allaboutsalma.blogspot.com. That much cuteness should be illegal, I tell you!
