BIG News!!

I'm sorry I've been away so long :(
In the meantime, U became and officer, and then proposed to SE. Who would have expected that, right? It's amazing. Cuz I love SE, for one. And I'm just so happy that things have worked out for them. She's ecstatic about the whole thing! And I'm getting a wonderful sister (in law) out of the deal :)
I've also managed to finish med school. Graduation is in 3 days! Pretty incredible, huh?
And B and I are moving in together. Just started working on finding an apartment in J.
So that's the update. I'll tell more about the J decision another time I think.
All for now!

Family Traditions

Spent the evening of independence day at his house in TA.

It was kinda cute actually. His two siblings both brought their significant others... I was actually at this family bonfire/bbq event last independence day, exactly a year ago. At the time, his sister's boyfriend also came, and I was the new girlfriend. This time round, i was the one who's already been around a while, and the new boyfriend and girlfriend of the siblings were the "new" ones.

He also came to the S & Y tofu extravaganza with me this afternoon. This year was his second time. It's sort of the family tradition-- we go every year.

So, things are settling in a bit. I just sometimes wonder whether i want this to get serious now. I mean, I enjoy spending time with him. Really. It's just--the last few months have kind of got me thinking about whether I even want something serious right now. And then I start thinking--what's the point? I seem to be able to do the not serious thing for a little while, but I don't think i can do it with him... there's too much history, too much that has gone down between us.

Anyway, just my thoughts. I have to get going. School bright and early tomorrow morning.

New Beginnings...

Wow. So, last time i wrote was just at the beginning of the relationship with ES. it's been quite a 6-month rollercoaster since then. we broke up a couple of weeks ago. i'm was and still am pretty heartbroken. I'm doing better now, but it's been rough, and I'm still really lonely. it's hard not having him around, having someone there for you. we were really really close. and he's really an amazing guy--everyone thought so. we were just so great together. so it really hurt when it was over.

But now i have to make a new beginning, start things over. I'm trying to enjoy having my own space. and i want to try to meet more Israelis. going days on end without interacting with people in Hebrew at all is a little ridiculous.

Also, I've started therapy. At first it was to deal with my relationship with my parents and family, and how they deal with things when we disagree about my choices, particularly the broken engagement with ZB. But the last meeting was just about ES and that breakup. i have another appointment this afternoon.

On that note, i have to go grab something to eat before i head out the door. so this is all for now.

family vacation

We spent a couple days at the beach with the cousins. i think we all had a good time. and the beach is real pretty. here are a few photos. i actually didn't take them--these are my dad's. i rather like them though.

Visiting...

The cousins came to visit for the week. it's fun to see them. so far i think it's been a pretty good visit, but i hope we get some time to talk. it's been a little hecktic.

Alright, i was up super late last night, and we're planning to go on a mini family camping trip starting tomorrow morning. so i gotta get going. sorry for the lack of pretty pictures...
