Everything alive eventually dies. My grandmother is no exception. Though I suppose that nobody truly dies. They live in our memories and in our hearts (cliche, but true). It throws a lot of things into perspective. She lived over 97 years. Almost an entire century! She spoke 7 languages, and saw more than most of us will ever even attempt to see. ( Read more... )

I never really liked hospitals before, but now that I have been at Shadyside Hospital in Pittsburgh for almost 20hrs over the last 4 days, I'm realizing that they're not so bad ( Read more... )

I made it safely to Washington. Tired and jet lagged, but excited about the road trip with my brother. What's more is I get to see him after 9 months!! That's really exciting ( Read more... )

After a 12hr flight, I'm in Toronto. Sunday I go to Washington DC to meet my brother, then we're on the road for almost 2 weeks. When I get to California, it will be 2 weeks before the wedding. In that time I have to meet with just about everybody that is part of putting the wedding together... This is going to be intense, but it should be really ( Read more... )

less than 3 weeks until my flight to North America. 2 weeks on the road with my brother. 2 weeks planning/relaxing (if that's possible while planning a wedding). Then the big day! Is anybody else getting excited?

I have to admit that I have been a little home sick recently. I try to call my parents once per week, but I haven't really heard from anybody else. Email me or something! I have friends here, but I really miss you all. Let me know how things are going. Tell me about recent events, or about Estrella (which I never heard about). Tell me about school ( Read more... )

It's our time off of classes, so I get to put a little more attention into the wedding plans. We have our hall booked, our band is still up in the air, we are looking into photographers, and our parents have talked us into getting a wedding cake. I could use some suggestions as to what flavors might be good on the cake. Our caterer is basically ( Read more... )

The wedding is going to be in Palo Alto, CA. We decided to have it close to our families. It is going to be on the 28th instead of the 25th because we figured that Sunday would be better for everybody. Unfortunately there is the issue of paying for all the people that come. Juliette and I don't have the funds to pay for upwards of 150 ppl, and our ( Read more... )

We're having the wedding in Toronto, Canada on June 25. I know it's out there, but it's probably best. We might be having one or 2 of our Sheva Brachos (post wedding feasts for 7 days hosted by friends and family) in LA, so keep and eye out for us. I also hope to be in LA for a few days around the 14th of June, and in SB sometime in July. We'll see ( Read more... )
