Hi there, I'm Bella. I have just moved out of my parent's house....just graduated high school...and I'm about to embark on an adventure of a lifetime....to Egypt!! See, I got a scholarship to study art and photography over there. I wont be there but for a couple of weeks, but I know it's going to be a blast!
As soon as I arrived in Egypt, I was amazed by the beauty there! By the end of my first week, I felt like a local at the art museum. That's where I met Farouk. He was running the gift shop, and spoke great English! I found out that he is also an art major! We had so much in common and hit it off right away.
By the end of week two we were an item...and by the end of my final week there, we were madly in-love. I wanted to pack him up in my suitcase and bring him home with me. But we both knew that wasn't a possibility.
I called my mom and told her all about Egypt and what a great time I had. I told her all about Farouk and about the giant beetles the size of your head here!!
Once I got home, it was really lonely. Here I was living by myself in a tiny apartment....the man I love thousands of miles away. All we could do is chat online. Neither of us even had a web cam! But I had Farouk's picture and he had mine.
After six months of online chats, phone conversations and tears, I called Farouk one night and told him I just couldn't take it anymore. Either I was moving to Egypt or he was moving to Riverview! I told him that his picture just wasn't enough anymore. I needed to see him...NOW. Farouk calmed me down....he always has a way of doing that. He promised me that he would work on it, and would call me next week.
When his phone call didn't come, I became worried. And then my doorbell rang. I thought it was odd to have a visitor this early in the morning. I opened the door and just about had a heart attack! It was Farouk!!! I couldn't not believe it!! He surprised me!!
It didn't take us long to decide that we needed to be together....could not be apart ever again. So we got married at City Hall, and our lives together began! I even started dressing in his custom clothing out of respect. He never asked me to....he loves me as I am....but I wanted to do it so he would feel more at home.
