Coffee Conversations

Happy Friday, people! Another workweek almost concluded and another weekend about to being. Friday mornings rival Monday mornings. I love Monday mornings. I’m usually ready to get back to a bit of a schedule after the weekend and I really enjoy my job, so Monday is an exciting day for me. But Friday morning comes with joyful anticipation of the weekend and that is hard to beat.
It’s been a busy week for me between work obligations and wedding planning, so I’m looking forward to a little downtime this weekend. I’m hoping to go see La La Land in the final hour before the Oscars! I’ve wanted to see it for a month or so, especially now that I’m hearing all the buzz about it. I wish I were one of those people that makes an effort to see nearly every Oscar-nominated film – I feel like the award season would be much more exciting. I’ve seen a few, but La La Land feels like a must, at this point.
If you follow me on Instagram, you already saw this on my Insta story (which I use way more than Snapchat these days). I ordered this stunning dress and it was just delivered yesterday. A photo doesn’t do it justice. The colors are so rich and it moves so beautifully. I’m not sure what I’ll wear it for – bridal shower, rehearsal dinner, etc – but I love that I can wear it for something pre-wedding and also on our Honeymoon (and a million times after)! Also, I’ve never shopped for more white things in my life than I have as a bride-to-be. Like this sweet eyelet pajama set. I also have my eye on this beauty for Honeymoon (and post-honeymoon) travels. 
Happy Weekend!

    WOW!!!
    This is the most wonderful thing i have ever experience and i need to share this great testimony.
    About how i get my ex back after a breakup.
    I never believed it, because i never heard nor learn anything about it before.
    Hey guys my wife and I have been married for 15 years. For over five years I have been dealing with jealousy issues because of flirting and her having emotional type affairs with other men. I felt like my masculinity was in question and if I said the way she was acting bothered me, it seemed to make matters worse or I was accused of being controling. During this period I did state I wanted a divorce if the behavior was not going to end: texting men a night, leaving for the weekend without letting me know where she was going or not responding to messages. We do have a son and basically it's been him and I for the last year on the weekends. She disconnected completely from being a good wife and mother. In April she said she wanted a separation and I said no we need to get into marriage counseling. We did try that, but she was not very responsive and didn't give any effort. Afterward she was adamant about separation and divorce. I continued to say no and that we needed to save our family. She presented a separation agreement and I had to hire a lawyer. Because of the above behavior my lawyer suggested a private investigator. The investigator discovered my wife was having an affair with a close friend of the family who also is married with children. We know the extended families. I feel like I should tell this man's wife about what happened. This adultery has devastated me emotionally, I feel betrayed and I'm physically drained. I know my wife is passionate in terms of her sexuality, and I can't get the thought of them out of my head. It makes me question my own manhood, and I feel very inferior or that he must be a better lover or what ever. The problem is my wife pursued him. She would go to him and she lured him into this adultery. I felt this was coming for some time and could not stop it. She was not only lying to me but also to our son about what she was doing and where she was going. My family is important, my son loves her and as crazy as it sounds so do I. Can you respond with a course of action on how to proceed? I was still have a very huge place in my heart for her. so i searched for help online and I came across a website that suggested that Dr Ahmed can help solve marital problems, restore broken relationships and so on. So I felt I should give him a try. I contacted him and he told me what to do and i did it then he did a spell for me. 28 hours later, my wife came to me and apologized for the wrongs she did and promise never to do it again. Ever since then, everything has returned back to normal. I, my son and my wife are living together happily again.. All thanks to Dr Ahmed. as it is a place to resolve marriage/relationship issues, do you want to be sure if your spouse is being faithful to you or Do you want your Ex to come back to you Contact.: E-mail: Ahmedutimate@gmail.com or call/Whats-app: +2348160153829 save your crumbling home and change of grades its 100% safe.
