Arjomand festivities

So every year we have our typical Arjomand festivies where all 50 of us or so get together to celebrate Naw Ruz over a couple of different nights. Nima keeps insisting to change his name to Arjomand, but I think I'd rather stick with Honarmandan. Sorry jeeguar... there are already enough Arjomand's in the world! Some of you may recognize the "Negar pose" in picture 4. I think my cousins are doing it better than I do ;)

Happy news!

Last night we celebrated the recent engagement of Nahid and Naysan. Naysan is one my dearest friends that I've grown up with, and I also had the pleasure of knowing Nahid when I used to serve at the Baha'i World Centre, in Haifa. They compliment each other beautifully.

We started the evening by breaking the fast at East Side Mario's and then headed to the Toronto Baha'i Centre for the last of the series of talks by Mr. Douglas Martin, former member of the Universal House of Justice. Needless to say... it was a great evening!
