UPDATE! The Room Saga and A Betrothal in the Family

Did that title yell at you? I hope so, as that is point of titles in all-caps.

First. Meet my new roommate.

Second. Meet my new roommate’s child (remember that activity?).

Becky with the future Mrs. Alesky.

I seem to fail epicly at maintaining a multi-media aspect to this blog, so I needed to get that out of the way. Onwards and upwards!

Long story–full of sharing circles in front of portable heaters and jockeying for position within the house–short, I have graciously and gracefully given up my single for a double room that I share with Becky. It is my first mitzvah here in Israel … actually, isn’t coming to Israel a mitzvah? … wait, I don’t even actually know all the mitzvot are, so it very well might be my fifth, or twentieth, or what have you. Anyway, to keep the peace and sanity currently reigning in the house, somebody needed to switch into the double, and that somebody ended up being me. On the bright side, Becky is awesome and it will all work out for the best. So goes chiam (to throw in one of the four hebrew words I’ve retained thus far).

The big news is: Dr. Alesky is betrothed! To Becky’s child! It’s a prefect match, no?
