Double Happiness

Happy birthday to me! Tomorrow is my birthday and I’ve come out of hibernation to post some happy news after a very long hiatus. I’m sorry for not being the attentive blogger that I promised to be in my previous entry. Life just kind of happened. Shortly after my last post, I started working at Freedom House doing research on freedom of the press issues and I received the biggest surprise of my life.

It’s fair to say that my birthday present came early this year …

Of What Is to Come …

Happy (belated) birthday America! To all my US friends out there, I hope everyone had a lovely holiday. I spent the long weekend hanging out with friends, strolling scenic parts of Brooklyn with my squeeze, and checking out a minor-league baseball game on Coney Island.

It’s been a long time since I’ve been in New York City for the Fourth.  I get stir crazy staying put for too long, so every chance I get, I’m online scouting for an airline ticket to elsewhere. This time around, however, I was unable to leave. Why? Well, we welcomed a new addition to our family!

Honeymooning in Post-Mubarak Egypt

Dear Readers,

I am about to embark with Husband on a trip to the Middle East. Our first stop: Cairo. (And after Egypt, we’ll be heading to Syria.) We are so excited to be going to Cairo at a time when there is so much optimism and hope in the air.  Lots to celebrate!  Stay tuned for more.

xoxo,
Holiday
