Nice Update I give you a ton of credit for striking out on your own particularly in a non-women friendly part of the world. Stay safe, be well and keep up the blog. Thanks.
nice pix! Thanks for the update and awesome pictures! I'm sorry we got as close as Israel and couldn't make it to Jordan. I hope the headaches stay at bay and you have a great semester. We'll look forward to hearing about it.
Great news! Arianne,
What a summer! It's great to hear how things are going, and I'm so happy you've found a solution for the headaches, even if it's only a partial one!
What colleges are on your short list?
I hope you have a great semester!

Now THAT is an Easter Egg!! And I have to tell you, I am NOT looking forward to 2 days on a camel!!!!
One of the docs suggested padded bike shorts. I'm thinking hemorrhoid cushion..... And Sea Bands. And a sick bag.
:)
football & ruins First, GO STEELERS! Cool that you got to see my team win again! Second, wouldn't Roman ruins be found in Italy? I know that is where I saw them. They do look similar though. Cool trip.
Travel and Studies Hi Sweetheart! You were there about the time that Aunt Sarah and Uncle Mark were in Israel. SO CLOSE! Last Sunday we went over and had the afternoon talking about their trip and pictures. I brought along my Journal of when I went to Israel exactly ten years ago. It was exciting to hear about one place where I had been, and then hear how ten years later a whole city has been uncovered. AMAZING. Glad that you are able to be there. And glad that you are finally getting to do the very writing that first attracted you to this whole adventure! The part that moved me the most about Israel was being in the places where Old Testament stories happened. Were you able to hear stories of the places where you and Amanda were? VERY interesting about the earthquake "security"!!! Loving you, Grandma
:-) Hey, Arianne! Had lunch with your dad today (he got stranded not too far from us en route to London)--SO much fun, and a real treat. 12 minutes to solve the puzzle? Nice work!--I've about given up on Rubik's cubes. :-P I can mess one up pretty successfully, though! 8 weeks until Baby Girl comes--we'll send you pictures when she gets here! Love you!
What a tough life! What a tough life you lead. I am hating on you right now. Enjoy every second of your trip and the experiences that come with it. Take care.
Return to Amman We just loved having you home for the holidays! I am glad that you are having some (though not total) relief from your headaches. Way to ROCK on the Rubik's. Is that a gauntlet I see flying by?
Dutch Blitz.... What happened to the Egyptian rats?
I am beyond excited to see you!!!! You look so lovely singing. I'm sending this to Wayne: a little taste of NJMC in the Middle East! They have their 2nd concert tonight. I'm sorry that we all missed it - and the Messiash :( I can't wait for your concert, or for you!!!!
I LOVE you loads xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
PS I'll be home for Christmas is playing right now. And YES you will!!!!! :)
Hah! I worked on Thanksgiving!!!
Daddy, Helena and Siggy cooked a FEAST and brought it in. Marcilynn and Rob joined us, we had music and candles - and I took 40 minutes for lunch (sshhhh!).
I can't wait to see you, hold you, hug you - brace yourself!
I LOVE you!!!!!
Anti-sheep smokers Unite! You need to start showing the sheep movies of their lungs so they understand the dangers of secondhand smoke. You go, girl!
I LOVE you!!!!!!!
You're coming home sooooooon :)
carolina? seriously, my heart goes out to you...nothing more than pediatric heart defects to get my blood pumping...wish i could operate and lend a helping hand. though, i have to say my eyesight was better before you blinded me with that whiney baby blue...oh, we need to get you back on "the dark side of blue"...sending you my love, my friend!
aah baby... ...what a terrible and wonderful experience. No matter what happens, you will have brought joy into this child's life. That will mean more to her mother than you will know - until you become a mother.
I miss you.
And I'm counting..... :)
Baby!!!!! I'm so excited about all the pieces you're singing in choir. I want a Christmas Concert! Bring your sheet music back with you and you can train the sorores. Faboo :)
That washing machine looks like a modern version of the one I used to use (except I drained it into the bathtub - the toilet was in another room!). It beat getting on the bus with the granny-shopper and taking it to the launderette. PS Duck tape. Cures all your ills. Ask Karl.
I'm here in CA with Aisling and today we are going to Seal Beach via In N Out for a mini/pedi followed by sushi. Bliss. Just like your sticky buns.
:)
I LOVE you!!!!!
I'm waaay excited to see you in the spring. Start planning baby!
PS We are sooo doing Petra.

I thought you were going to say that the oasis dried up and you have no more water. Great stories. Keep them coming. Be safe.... Uncle Mark
