27 is so sexy!


So Wednesday (November 9th) was my birthday so now your girl is the big 2-7! In Israel they have signs saying 25 is OLD! Well the hell with that sign. I don't feel old and I'm making 27 look damn good if I do say so myself! I'm aging well! LOL!

So on my birthday I went to lunch with some of my classmates and then after we came back to the apartment and had birthday cake. I'm so happy so many people were game to celebrate my birthday with me. Having a birthday soon after moving to a new place can be kinda difficult, especially when you've not met that many people as yet. We had a good lunch at a Kosher Burger restautrant. It was quite tasty. It was the first time I can remember not having a cheeseburger, but I can honestly say I didn't even notice it until like half way through the meal. My burger was no less tasty without the cheese either.


My Lunch Posse!


Later on that day Shoshana and I went into Tel Aviv and did a little shopping and then we met up with Ashley and Goldi for dinner at a sushi restaurant. This restaurant also happened to be Kosher, so there was no shrimp or crab served there. So my entire birthday was Kosher. It was my 1st Kosher birthday! LOL!

At dinner
Because my birthday fell during the middle of the week and the next day was my roommate Ashley's birthday as well, we deferred partying until the weekend. Last night we went out to a club called Seret (movie in Hebrew) and got a table. The club was pretty nice. We all pre-gamed at the apartment first and then got a bottle at the club and were ready to party.

Rami is awesome!

Yossi said I looked like a model *tee hee*

Well plans got changed a bit. One of us got really quite drunk and we had to call it a night much earlier than anticipated. But as the saying goes no man left behind. We had a man down so the whole team rolled out. It wasn't the night we'd planned and it wasn't the most appealing scenario after being thrown up on, but plans change and we enjoyed the night up until that point. Let's just say the night was unforgetable, not in the original way planned, but nonetheless it lived up to it's goal. LOL!

All in all my birthday was good. I am healthy, happy and blessed! I have so much to be thankful for and so many wonderful and beautiful things to celebrate! Each birthday is a blessing and for those people that don't like to celebrate them I think they're LAME! It's one special day a year to be thankful that your parents brought you into the world and even though things may not always be perfect, the fact that you're alive is reason enough to celebrate! Every new day holds opportunity, you just have to seize it! I am hopeful that this upcoming year will be filled with awesomeness and I'm so excited about it!

C'est la vie in Tel Aviv!

I decided to begin blogging after a friend of mine suggested it when I announced I'd be leaving Atlanta, GA after 9 years and move to Tel Aviv, Israel for grad school. This will be a way for my friends and family to see what I'm up to and keep in touch with me. For those that know me best I don't think they were surprised by my decision to move to Israel. I'm a pretty adventurous girl and I'm always up for taking the road less travelled. I consider my decision to move to Israel an act of divine intervention. For the past couple of years Israel has been at the top of my travel list, along with a few other countries in the Middle East. Also, I went back to school last summer after 4 years in public accounting. I decided that it was time for a career change. I wanted to work with children and I have lots of interest in psychology so I went back to complete my bachelors degree in psychology. I actually turned in my last assignment for the completion of my requirem...

Stress Kills!

Earlier this year one of my professors said something in class that has stuck with me ever since. She said that people usually find psychology because they are trying to understand themselves. We usually are trying to understand a problem that we've defined in our own lives rather than something that we specifically see or want to understand about others. This statement was an "Ah ha" moment for me, as Oprah would say. I really began to reflect on if this was true for me and it definitely was. My interest in psychology was very personal. I didn't grow up in what would be considered a normal family structure and growing up it led to some internal struggles for myself that I eventually had to learn to come to terms with and become aware of and face as best I could. I'm specifically interested in stress and anxiety disorders. I am really interested in the effects on children. Growing up I felt alone in trying to understand the areas of my childhood that I didn...
