About this Blog

This is my first foray into blogging.

Ok, ok, I'm lying. I had a "live-journal" in junior high school. I used it to share the really important details of my life, for example: expressing my outrage when they canceled "taco-bar tuesday," describing the *killer* formation of the new marching band routine, or chronicling all of the super-hilarious inside jokes that my friends and I had (you just had to be there). And we can't forget about the entries where I waxed poetic about the boys in my life, cleverly using Good Charlotte song lyrics to tell the cyber-world how I was really feeling.

Much to the chagrin of my 4 loyal live-journal followers, this blog will be a bit different.

I am blessed to have some really exciting things coming up in these next few months. I want to use this blog as a way to share my journey with my family and friends. While I will keep my deepest, darkest secrets for my actual journal, I'd like to paint a real and honest picture for my family and friends of what I am experiencing in the homeland. This will be challenging, as I know I'm writing to a diverse audience (hopefully I won't bore my friends, embarrass my parents, or give too much information to stalkers).

And why start the blog 3 months before I leave? Well, while my trip is the inspiration for starting the blog, I don't want it to be everything. The journey has already started.

Whatever brings you here, please enjoy my blog. I hope to update it as often as possible, with stories, pictures, poems, ideas, quotes, Jew-y anecdotes, rants, raves, recipes, things that inspire me, things that might inspire you, and maybe, just maybe, an occasional Good Charlotte song lyric.
