We arrived in Israel at the end of August 2008. For the next 2 weeks, every day was hectic and stressful, as we tried to arrange our life here for the next 1 to 2 years. After just one week, we were able to sign the lease on an apartment in Be'er Sheva, where Dawn is a post-doc at the University. I will soon begin giving private English lessons. Be'er Sheva is a hot city in the middle of the Negev desert of about 200,000. We have yet to travel anywhere, but I now know which bus to take to the nearby Israeli Air Force Museum! My hope is that this blog will give friends and family back home a window on our lives here.
