Welcome to my adventures!

I set off across the world to see what it's like to live in another country and to be a part of a different culture. Now here's a dog joke:

A Belgian Sheepdog went to a telegram office, took out a blank form and wrote, “Woof. Woof. Woof. Woof. Woof. Woof. Woof. Woof. Woof.”

The clerk examined the paper and politely told the dog: “There are only nine words here. You could send another ‘Woof’ for the same price.”

“But,” the dog replied, “that would make no sense at all.”

Too much to write!

So, I think it's fair to say that I completely forgot about my blog.

Purim has passed. Pesach has passed. Both were amazing. Yom Hazikaron followed by Yom Haatzmaut passed.

All of the holidays here have been really special.

All of the dogs are really good. Gucci is getting a lot bigger and is almost a full grown German Shepherd now, even though she still runs around like a puppy. Channah misses us every time we go on a trip and she cries when we get back.

This last week was Gadna. Gadna is like 5 days of army experience to show you what basic training could be like. It was really fun for all of us who went and gave me a little insight into my future.

Speaking of the army, I have gone through most of the necessary steps and have my enlistment date. Along with other non-Native Hebrew speakers in this ulpan, I will be enlisting at the end of August and spending a few months in an army ulpan, which is basic training mixed with Hebrew class.

This pretty much concludes what I will be writing about the army, as I don't want this blog to be about that. If you want more information as to what it is like for an American to join the IDF, there are literally tons of blogs out there that describe all the steps and some of the experiences.

I'll try to write a little more often about other stuff though! And I will include some pictures soon.
