Tomorrow, I will be going to Reston, VA to visit my sweet Uma Chitthi, my darling cousin Abisha and my dear Raj Anna. It's been over 5 years since I've seen all of them! I can't wait!! On Friday, I will be going to Virginia Beach to see my best buddy, Grace. She's almost done with Law School and I've been promising her a visit for 3 years now. Finally, the time has come! Gracie, we're going to have a blast!
So long Texas and bye sweetheart.....I'll really miss you.

Happy Birthday Cat!
Happy birthday Cat! I pray that you have a super duper day and an even more super fabulous year! You are such a thoughtful, kind, caring, generous, loyal and dependable friend. I am so grateful to God for our friendship. Even though we live hundreds of miles apart, you are still close to my heart (ooh, that rhymed!). I adore you to pieces!
I'm sorry I can't be with you today but I'll see you real soon next week! I love you with all my heart! Muah!

Humbled
First of all, I'm sorry I haven't posted in a while. This week has been a bit challenging, both physically and emotionally. However, the Lord never ceases to amaze me.
I am so happy to tell you that I'm finally out of my boot and onto my brace. I can start wearing my tennis shoes again! I also started physical therapy yesterday...yay! The exercises that the PT gave me really work wonders. The only issue is that sometimes, if I overdo it, my foot swells up. Such was the case today. I had a wonderful day yesterday and got quite a bit done. I thought, if everything continues to go so smooth, I will be up and doing everything in no time.
Today, I planned on cooking some Indian food for my husband. I know that he has been missing home cooked Indian food all week, although he's too sweet to say anything. I woke up this morning and my foot was swollen and sore. I decided against cooking today but I was quite sad about it. I was looking forward to surprising my husband.
This is where the Lord comes in! Our friends Jenny and Joseph called, asking if they can come over to hang out. They have such a cute little daughter, Isabel. I LOVE seeing them and was quite excited to enjoy their company. Well, they came bearing gifts....lots of gifts. As in home cooked Indian food! Jenny just walked in and started filling my fridge. I was trying hard to hold back the tears. I'm amazed by God's love for us. He really does know the desires of our hearts, even when we don't ask Him.
They brought Chicken Biryani, Eggplant Curry, Chicken Fry, Spinach Poriyal, Sambar and Vijay's favorite, Dosa....wow! Jenny must have spent the entire day cooking! I am so grateful for such great friends. I'm grateful for all our friends...our friends from church, our friends from school, etc. Furthermore, I'm just humbled by God's love and His grace.
Joseph and Jenny, from the bottom of my heart, thank you! Thank you for your friendship and thank you for the comfort food. We are blessed to have you in our lives. We love you!

My new found inspiration
We just got back from our Tuesday night Bible study, which is held at our friends Mike and Geraldine's place. They are our wonderful British friends and we have loads of fun together.
We haven't met the entire summer and I sure have missed everyone. One of our friends just had a baby girl and we got to meet her for the first time today. She is 2 weeks old and she's darling! Absolutely perfect! She's this teensyweensy and it was so great to hold her, until she started crying of course.
When the night ended, Geraldine reminded me that I need to get better soon so we can go to the Indian grocery store and start cooking together. Well Geraldine, that is all the inspiration I needed! You will be proud to know that I just walked up a whole flight of stairs (22 to be exact) to get home. This is the first my friend...in six weeks!
Could you do me a favor? Can you please remind me about this each time you see me? Please? Better yet, feel free to call, e-mail or text me....daily.

Happy Birthday Relin!
Boy, September is full of birthdays...and birthdays of some wonderful people, including my friend Relin's.
Happy Birthday Relin Mole! You are one of the sweetest people I know. Thank you for being there for me when I need you. I'll never forget the day my husband and I moved into our new apartment. We were bone tired by the time we finished moving that we didn't even have the energy to get dinner. Right then, you happened to call, saying that you and Abey were bringing over some dinner...even though it was past 10:00 p.m. We were so relieved and thankful!
We are so grateful to have such wonderful friends. I love you for so many reasons. You're thoughtful, kind, and you laugh at all my jokes. ;) You are the first person to make me a godmother, even though it's to your dog. ;) I can't imagine Houston without you. You and Abey are our first couple friends whom we both really connected with after we got married. You are one of my closest friends and I simply adore you.
Relin, I hope you had a wonderful birthday! I pray that the Lord blesses you with all the desires of your heart. I pray that He will bless you 100 fold for the ways you've blessed those around you. I love you so much. Happy Birthday Rey!
p.s. We would love to see you and Abey very soon.
p.s.s. I promise if you come, I will make you your favorite Tres Leches cake once I'm better. Scout's honor. ;)

A girl named Grace
There's this girl named Grace. She's smart, fun, beautiful, sweet, funny and kind. She stands 4 ft. 11 1/4 inches tall (and you better acknowledge the 1/4 inch or she will hurt you). She may be tiny but her personality is larger than life.
I am convinced that she is going to run for the President of the United States one day. If not that, she will go on to do some huge thing(s) in her life, especially involving our country.
I met Grace in 2003...and we've been best friends since. We were roommates for 2 years and she was the best roomie a girl could ask for! Sadly, in 2006, we were no longer roomies. She left me to go on to Law School in Virginia....oh the nerve of her! Of course, I upped and got married too.
The thing that makes our friendship incredibly special is that we call to tell each other the most stupid, meaningless, mundane things in life. Things like, dude, my mom just cooked and I can't get the smell of curry off my shirt . Or, I had toilet paper stuck to the back of my shoe and didn't know it for 2 hours. We are always there for each other. If I'm going through something, I know I can call Grace and she will listen and pray for me, without judging me. I hope she feels the same way too. Well, today is Grace's birthday.
Gracie, happy birthday! I pray that the Lord will bless you mightily this year. May He bless all the efforts of your hands. I am so blessed to have you in my life. I am proud of you and can't wait to see the great things God has in store for you. Even though I can't be with you today, know that I'm thinking of you and praying for you. I love you with all my heart!

A special message for Cat
I have three of the world's greatest friends: Cat, Relin and Grace. I met Cat and Relin in college while living in Dallas. The 3 of us were inseparable. We took all our classes together, tricked our professors, pulled all nighters, told each other everything and basically came into adulthood together.
We used to stay up all night talking about finding our prince charming, dreaming about our weddings, having kids, raising them together, sitting on the front porch on our rockers, sipping iced tea when we are old and gray. We have seen each other through laughter and tears. These are my girls and I love them with my whole heart.
Heck, we even talked about our kids marrying one another so we can all be in-laws. As life would have it, things don't exactly go as we plan them. Many times, God has a different, much better plan for us.
Relin and I got married in 2007 and moved to Houston. I felt terrible leaving Cat, especially because she was planning her own wedding in 2008.
Even though I was there for her, I missed out on the little things in the most stressful (and glorious) time in a girl's life...planning a wedding. Choosing the invitations, meeting the florist, endless dress fittings, working out to get in shape to get into the gown, helping with the seating arrangements, picking out the menu for the reception, etc.
Today, I missed another great milestone. Cat and Keefe got the keys to their first new home as a married couple. :)
Cat, I know how stressful it must be, packing a million boxes and moving into a new place. I'm deeply sorry I am not there with you to help you through this process. However, my heart is bursting with joy for you and Keefe. I pray that God will bless you in your new home. May you both make wonderful, warm memories that you can look back on for many years to come. The Lord has you in the palm of His hands. May His peace always reign in your home. I love you so very much.
