Updates: Life and ...

I have been away from home for 4 months and one day. Since then a few things have changed that I thought you should all know... somethings are still changing and I am thinking about heavily before I choose but here it goes:

1: Daniel can grow facial hair! After 19 years of pushing those face muscles to the max they have finally forced out fair onto my face. Yes I have to shave daily or bi-daily now... I looked forward to the day so extremely now I hate it!

2: Daniel weighs over 130 pounds! Yes people I know I know... I finally reached the benchmark of 61 kilos I always wanted and dreaded at the same time. Am I bigger? Not at all, but I can cary alot more ;)

3: When leaving I planned to remove alot of the hair from on top of my head. Seeing as I was moving to a new country and alot of changes were occurring I decided to leave it as the one thing I would have that was the old me. Now after an extra 4 months of growth my hair is almost down to my nipples. I can't bring myself to let someone who doesn't speak english take control of my head and cut it the way I want.

4: Language. During the first month here I think I learned absolutely 0 Hebrew. Now that I live on Kibbutz with 900 / 1100 people speaking little to know english I have been forced (not so bad) to speak Hebrew more regularly. I learn a new word a day and I have an alright vocabulary. My sentence structure is awful still because each word has a boy and girl version and their are different words when asking and saying things. I am happy with my progress and am now thinking about how not to loose it when I get home.
