My other roommate has arrived

When I came back home today, I saw my other roommate has brought his stuffs. I hope him to be a good guy.

Singed documents for Nancy to get the apartment

I went to Nancy's house early in the morning today. Weather was amazing. After a light rain, everything looked fresh and awesome. She drove her car. I signed all required documents in the office apartment, and they asked me to wait for a few days until they can do background check and rental history check. Nancy was happy and at the same time she was nervous. I am pretty sure that they will approve my case. There is nothing to be worried about. After that, we went to the post office to fill out the change of address form.

I lost my camera

I couldn't find my camera today. I thought that I lost it. I asked Henry to search his house, but he couldn't find it. I called that restaurant, but they couldn't find it as well. I didn't know where to look at. At night, when I got back home, I found it in my pants' pocket, exactly where it should be and exactly where I searched in the morning twice. Hopefully, I found it. I was very concerned because I didn't have any copy of the photos and movies that I took last night.

A car for Nancy

Nancy is going to buy a car these days. She had found a Camry a few days ago, but she didn't buy it because the car was not in a good condition. I saw her today in the entrance of our department. She had found three other cars. They were all Honda Civic. One of them was very good, but when we called the dealer, he asked for more money for buying it in cash. That was strange because usually the cash price of a car should be less than its finance price.

We were talking about these things that she got impatient and it was close that she starts to cry.
Me: Why are you crying?
She: I am tired of all these things. I can't find a car. They didn't approve my case for that apartment because I have a lease in my name. I explained them that I would cancel that one, but they didn't agree. I have to stay in my current place and pay twice as much as I should pay. I can't take it anymore.
Me: Ha ha! It's not a big problem! Call the other dealer. He has two cars. We can go and see it. Maybe you could buy one of them. Regarding your apartment, I can rent it for you. I have a good rent history, and I have no lease in my name. We will go there tomorrow, and I will get the apartment, and you can go and live there :)
She: Can you do that?
Me: Yes. Why not?

She began to smile again. It was like she had no any other problem. I love her attitude. I can understand her. I called Martin to go there together. I drove my car. The dealer was very far. It was like a road outside of the city. I was scared a little driving in that area, but I did it.

We test drove the first car, a 2008 Honda Civic. It was very bad. In every second, we could find a new problem with the car. It was like they fixed the car temporarily just to sell it, and it will take apart after that. All interior was falling apart; there was a sign of firing inside dashboard; the front side was damaged and fixed by an unprofessional. When we wanted to park the car, we noticed that there is a bad noise in the gearbox.

The other car, a 2009 Honda Civic, was worse. We even didn't want to test drive it. The front side was falling down when we looked at it more closely. It was not safe to drive it at all. We didn't buy none of those cars, and I asked her to search more.

Fun weekend - Henry's birthday

After park, I went to Henry and Hanson's home to celebrate Henry's birthday. Hanson wanted to surprise him. He made a story to bring him home unexpectedly. When I got there, Shani and Nancy were there. I didn't know that Hanson has invited them. He invited a very limited number of guests, and I really became happy to see Nancy there. For whatever reason he invited Nancy, he made me happy.

I, Nancy and Shani went to Henry's room to make the decoration. We blew many balloons together. We also hang a Happy Birthday sign on the curtain of his window. All guests came to the room to surprise him. Hanson had told Henry that the pipe in his bathroom is broken, and the water is all over the room. Henry came flustered to see what's happened, and we all shout "Surprise!" He really didn't expect it. He shocked, but he became very happy to see all friends there. I took a movie of the whole things.



People put music, and danced for a while. I danced for a few seconds. Nancy was looking great today. I tried to keep her in my movies. We had the cake, and we went to Turkish Cafe for dinner.

"Who is coming with me," I asked, but nobody answered me. "OK. I don't want anybody to come with me! میخوام صد سال سیاه هم که هیچ کسی نیاد" My sentence made Henry laugh. The other girls also laughed. "I come with you." Henry said. Since he didn't drive his car, Nancy and Shani also came with me.

Something happened in the restaurant. I and Shani and Nancy went to see the environment; Shani suggested to take a picture. Nancy said, "Let me take your picture." It was my feeling that Shani really wanted to have a picture with me. She took a picture of me and Shani, but when Shani wanted to take mine, she didn't let her. It really broke my heart. I think that she didn't want other to see a picture of her with me. For whatever reason, it really affected my emotions. For the first time after months, Nancy did something that made me unhappy. During dinner, I sat in front of Nancy. I wanted to take some pictures of Nancy, so I pretended that I am talking pictures of a belly dancer there, and I took her picture. None of the pictures were what I liked to be.

Today was one of the most memorable days. Henry thanked me for all pictures and movies that I took tonight.

Fun weekend - Spring Greek Nature area

Martin had created a FB event for others to join us for another picnic today. I, Martin, Alexander, Micheal, Martin's wife, Martin's daughter and one another boy were the only people who went there. FaxBoro park was small, but it was very family-friendly.







Micheal and I went to see Spring Greek area near the park. The trail was awesome. It was like a jungle in the middle of the city.



There was also a river near there. We saw some people whom were swimming there.





I really enjoyed walking in the nature. It is one of the best things that I like.



Then, we came back to eat our lunch. The other guy made a steak. It was very delicious.


Since nobody joined us, we had a plenty of food. Martin's wife had prepared lots of salads and spaghetti. It was very yummy.


Then, we went together to see the area.







I found some digital wastes near the river. "It is United States. Even their trash is digital!" I said.






Since it was a bicycle trail, there were some signs for bicycle riders. It was something new to me.


We also saw a pretty worm! It is hard to see these beautiful creatures when you live in a big city.

Fun weekend - Crowley park

We went to another park today. The park was one of the most beautiful parks that I have ever seen in my life. It was like a piece of heaven. I, Alexander, Marvin, Micheal, Martin, Martin's wife and her daughter and Camellia were there. Camellia started to play water war again. I didn't play with them. I was not angry with her. In fact, I kind of like her because she likes me.




Camellia asked me to go and buy some water. We went together. Even though I unfriended her from FB, I was very friendly to her. At first, we went to a store near a gas station. It was very expensive. Camellia bought some banana at a very expensive cost. I think that she has a very rich family. She doesn't care about the money at all. She buys anything at any price. We went to a TomThumb store near there after that. I bought a big donuts box. Camellia loved it.

In the way back, I lost my path. I turned to a road near the highway that I don't know if it was one-way or not. I didn't see any sign there, but it was very awkward. Camellia scared so badly. Even I scared because I thought that we were in a wrong way. Even now, I don't know if I was in a wrong way or not. I just can say that road was weird because when we got the end of it, it had a no-enter wrong way sign. Hopefully, I found my path myself.

We found also an interesting traffic sign. It was probably meant there is a playground near here :)


I, Alexander and Camellia were talking that Alexander started to run. I looked at the direction he ran toward, and I saw a kid was in the water. I ran after him, and Marvin ran with me. I saw Martin's daughter in water. She couldn't breath. Alexander jumped into the water and brought her out of there. Marvin took her, and we tried to remove water out of her body. Hopefully, we got there on time; otherwise, nobody knows what could happen. She had jumped into the water because her ball had fallen into it. I love kids. They are dedicated with what they love. She loved her ball, and she didn't even think that she may drown in the water. Love is exactly like that. When you love someone, you don't care about your life.
