A new chapter

Today started us off on a new chapter for our family.  Rami opened his first WIC store.  We’re both very excited and grateful for this opportunity. Alhamdulilah.  This will be the first of, Inshallah, five stores total.  There are already two previous stores, plus this one today, makes three stores up and running.  Two more left to open!  I really am very proud of how far Rami has come. He has truly blazed a trail for himself.  Inshallah one day I can call him a self-made millionaire!  He’s come a long way since he first came to America. From working the graveyard shift as a security guard on Reno’s streets, to frying up hot wings and craw fish in New Orleans, to selling shoes in San Jose, to selling cars all over the Bay. He truly is a jack of all trades.  I am very proud of him! Alhamdulilah!

So behind every successful man, is a woman. That’s where I come in.  Of course I had to be in this.  So currently the store is white on white on boring.  It’s up to me to spruce up the place and make people want to come back.  Here’s some pics of the store as it is now:
