Home

It is good to be home. Today I have watched an episode of Bones, slept in sweatpants, stood in front of the fireplace, worn jeans and a plaid shirt and slippers, ate at Pita Pit and talked lots with my mom, and I feel good! I have also seen an abundant supply of ice cream and chili cheese fritos in the house. Ca'n't get any better than that. Except tomorrow we are going to get some chocolate soy milk. And I'm getting a haircut after 7 months. Yeah, that is MUCH needed haha.

Yesterday involved about 30 hours of traveling. It was a long day, but everything went smoothly. I am not a fan of long across-ocean flights, but it is way better when you are flying with good friends rather than when we came over and it was just awkward because we knew we would become friends with these people but didn't know what to say yet. Yeah, awkward a little. It was sad to see people go different ways, but honestly it didn't phase me much because I am not that sentimental about goodbyes and I know that I will see all these people again, most very soon. So carry on.

I flew from Tel Aviv, to Vienna, to Dulles (Washington DC), to Denver, to Fresno. At Dulles we got on the plane on time but we didn't take off seriously for over an hour after we were supposed to. I was supposed to get to Denver and have a 2 hour layover, but instead I had to rush to my terminal. Then I got there and they announced that due to bad weather in Fresno (SERIOUSLY?), they might be unable to land and therefore would fly us to San Francisco and provide either air or ground transportation to Fresno. I had a minor panic attack. I was exhausted and just wanted to be home. Thankfully it all worked out, and I landed in Fresno and now I'm home!

I do miss Jerusalem though.

I LOVE the Western Wall.

Do you think this style would pass at BYU? I think I'd get lots of dates!

Aslan!

:)

Some Old City wall.

Kippa's everywhere!

Last time at Damascus Gate :(

Last sunset.

So that was my last day out in the City. At the moment it seems like forever ago...

Now to get back to real life I guess.

PS - I love fast internet. I love when these pictures take 2 seconds to upload rather than an unpredictable amount of time. Aka: SUPER SLOW AT THE JC.
