Happy Nowruz

Every year Steven and I try our best to fly to the DC area to celebrate with his family for Nowruz. Nowruz is the celebration of the Iranian New Year. It is every spring typically in March. Talk about a party!! It is always such a fun trip that we both look forward too every year! We usually make a quick weekend trip up there but this year we actually took some time off and went for 5 nights. It was so relaxing to be away from Texas and just relax with his family. Steven contacted out State Representative and got us an appointment to tour the White House. It is nothing like what you would think. Very museum like!! They hurd you through like a bunch of cattle and you almost forget that you are even in the White House because it is just "typical museum like tour." Steven's cousin Pouya took us out on the town the next night and I was lucky enough to be the "DD." Steven enjoyed himself a little too much. We ate at a fabulous restarant and stopped through several clubs/ bars. The steaks was incredible but the sides where absolutely AAAMMAAZZING!!!! I love me some sides!!!

The rest of the time was spend relaxing and just hanging out with Steven's family which was so nice. We are usually go like crazy when we get to DC but this trip was very chill and relaxing. Saturday night was the Annual Nowruz Party with all of Steven's family and friends. There is really good food with lots of drinks and of course, Iranian music and dancing! It is such a great experience and so much fun!

Yasi is Steven's Cousin and could so be the Jasmine at Disney World! I kept telling her all week that she needs to move to Disney World for the summer and just be Jasmine from Aladdin! She would be perfect!! Yasi and I also share a birthday which is kinda neat!!

Steven and I enjoyed really great food and some really much needed quality time with eachother and his family! I am already looking forward to next!
