Home in Israel!

We moved in! Two days earlier than we expected to. We've been busy making this tiny place our home and I will soon post pictures (but not until we finish unpacking and cleaning up. A good description of our place though is like a really nice dorm room with it's own bathroom:) Today I walked to the Home Center to get things for the apartment (long hot walk). I bought some jars for oatmeal and rice and stuff in the kitchen. My walk back was longer than it needed to be because I tried a different way and got a tad lost, just a tad. As I was walking, carrying my three bags, I kept feeling like something wet was leaking out of one of the bags, but I ignored it thinking it was most likely sweat. Eventually I looked down and realized that one of the jars had broken and cut my leg...my whole leg was covered in blood!! No worries, it was really a tiny scratch, I had just spread it all around while brushing the bag against my leg over and over. I tried to hang the bag just right for the rest of the walk so that nobody could see it..it looked horrible! Pretty funny though (except that I am missing one jar). I ended up walking all the way back to the Home center again though because I forgot something (only to then forget to get another jar!).

It was a nice day though and I got a lot done (so did Ben, but we were doing our own things..he was all around town too). The apartment is looking nicer, the laundry is hanging to dry, dinner is in our tummies and the kitchen is clean, and we are relaxing and ready for another hot day in Eilat (actually I'm not sure I'm really ever ready for the hot part).
