This is a picture of the sunset the other night. I'm picture crazy, sorry.
So its official now: we're moving, again. Up untill yesterday it was still tentative since my mom kept changing her mind. Finally she decided to just agree and you know whatever. I totally understand why my mom wouldn't want to move-this will be our FIFTH move this year, wallahul musta'an.
Now, the question is why do we move so much. I got asked that the other day and I didn't have an answer to the question so I've decided to do a breakdown of the umpteen moves we've gone through.
1. Moving from an apartment in San Francisco to the UCSF student housing. Reason: mom was a student at UCSF and they were closer to school :).
2. Moving from San Francisco to Ashland OR. Reason: mom got married and left school
3. Moving from one place in ashland to another. Reason: I dont remember, I was young. I know the others because my mom told me :P
4.Moving from another place in Ashland to yet another. Reason: Again I dont remember.
5.Moving from another place in Ashland to our last place. Reason: It was bigger and nicer.
6.Moving from Ashland to Yreka California. Reason: Shaykh Hasan Az-zibadi was living there(about 45 mins from Ashland) and my dad wanted to live closer to him.
7.Moving from Yreka to Waldport OR. Reason: well, my dad couldnt stand the desert climate and my mom got a job in Newport OR.
8.Moving from one house to another in Waldport. Reason: dad wanted it.
9.Moving from Waldport to Corvallis OR(an hour away). Reason: my brothers hated the small town and wanted to move to a bigger city and my mom was tired of living away from Muslims.
10.Moving from the house in the south to sequoia house(in corvallis). Reason: the house was waaaay nicer and the owners also owned the Imams house and wanted a Muslim family to live in their house after renovating it.
11.Moving from my beloved sequoia to boulder house. Reason: they wanted to sell the house :(.
12.Moving from boulder to glacier(down the street). Reason: they wanted to sell the house + owners of other house were muslim.
13.Moving from glacier to the house I hated. Reason: they wanted to sell the house.
14.Moving from that house to Hermiston. Reason: dad was tired of commuting back and forth after doing it for more than a year.
15.Moving back to Corvallis. Reason: dad no longer works for state.
16.Moving to the other conifer house. Reason: it was nicer and dad wanted it.
17.and now, moving yet another time. Reason: dad wants it... the last time we moved I told my mom I wouldnt move again till I got married :S. 4 or 5 months later and here I am moving yet again. *sigh.. I'm 16 and I've moved 17 times. Is that sad or what?
bleh. I'll take pics of other house today and load them.
