I'm a SmallTownAmerica girl who picked up and moved to the Land of Milk and Honey (yum...) at age 18.
I'm in the IDF, and get out in October 2008.
And I'm engaged to the most wonderful man on earth :)
Writing, reading, languages, cooking, music, movies, long discussions over several cups of coffee / glasses of wine...
