I'll try to make this a little more interesting sounding when I have a chance. :)
I started off in West Hartford, Connecticut , where I was born (B-day is Nov 23, 1966). I lived there until I was 17, when I went off to Roger Williams College, now University, in Bristol, Rhode Island. I studied Biology as a major, and Chemistry and Psychology as a double minor.
After a few years there, I transferred to Tel Aviv University in Ramat Aviv, Israel. I lived in the dorms there for only one semester before moving to Kibbutz Ga'ash, from where I commuted to the University every day.
I lived on Ga'ash for a year before moving to a small, start-up Kibbutz on the border of Lebanon called Kibbutz Tzivon. There was an average of 25 of us living there during that time, and I was the only non-Israeli.
A year and a half later, I decided to be a normal working person so moved to Tel Aviv, Israel. At one of my numerous jobs, I met my ex-husband, Muni. A few months after meeting him, I moved into his place in Kfir, Israel. A few months after that, we came to the United States and took a trip cross country for a few months, living in a station wagon, and sleeping in Denny's Restaurants' parking lots.
During this trip, we stopped in Las Vegas, Nevada and got married on April 7, 1991, which was 6 months and 2 days after our first date.
We settled in Phoenix, Arizona for a year and a half before moving to San Jose, California, where we lived for only a few months.
From there we moved to Belmont, Massachusetts, on the other side of the country. We lived there for a year and a half before moving to Norwood, Massachusetts, and lived there for a year.
We thought of moving to Raymond, New Hampshire and even bought 20 acres of land there, which we still own. Instead of building there, though, we bought a house, located in Waltham, Massachusetts, which is where I lived until May, 1997.
When I got divorced, I moved a gorgeous apartment building in Lawrence, Massachusetts, just over the North Andover border, and only a few miles away from my then current contract.
After a year and a half at that place, and 4 contracts later, I finally bought my own house in North Billerica, MA!
I also recently married Harry, on June 27, 1999, during a 4-hour cruise of Boston Harbour.
