O.K. Seven Facts about me:
1. I was a teenage bride! I was married 1 month before I turned 20. I see girls at 19 and 20 and think that they are so very young, but I was ready and Rich and I have lasted 12 plus years.
2. I love to travel. I love to see new places and visit old ones. The first time I went to Europe I thought that I had died and gone to heaven. I was 18, on my own and stayed for over 3 months. It was most liberating and confidence boosting (if that makes any sense). I stayed with friends of friends in an arab village in Paris, hostels all over and with a friend who had been a foreign exchange student at my high school. I went where ever I wanted and called home occasionally! France, Spain, Italy, Switzerland, Germany, Czech Republic.
3. My one major regret is that I didn't go to grad school. I got accepted to the Hebrew University in Jerusalem and was offered a scholarship. I really should have accepted it. At the time though I didn't have support. My whole family (and husband) was against it. Looking back Rich and I talk about how it would have been so very cool- oh well....
4. I went for 6 weeks to the Middle East with a sister-in-law and an 18 month old baby- a consolation trip in lieu of grad school. We had one backpack and a really cool baby backpack. One night in Cyprus we slept on the beach in sheets- there was no vacancy at all anywhere. We awoke to some old fisherman laughing- I think about us. Israel, Jordan, Egypt, Cyprus, Turkey, Greece and a few nights in Germany.
5. I really like working!
6. I am not naturally blonde anymore- surprise surprise. I don't know what my hair color is except that is is darker.
7. I have had all drug free/natural births and my last 3 have been at home!
2 years ago Francie and I went to Sequoia National Park. We encountered a few bears and had a fantastic time. We are planning on returning this summer...
