I arrived at Suri and Yisroels to babysit for them on Motzai SHabbos, opened up my laptop and went to check out onlysimchas. To my suprise and super excitement I saw a name of an "older" girl whom I know quite well. I was ecstatic. is it true that *shprintzel from brooklyn* is engaged? Baruch Hashem! I was so excited! I didn't want to text *shprintzel* just yet to wish her mazal tov just in case it was for sure true. So I texted two other people who know *shprintzel* to make sure the amazing news was true. They didnt respond back so I decided, what are the chances of another *shprintzel* gettin engaged. so I texted her.
"I just saw your name on onlysimchas! Incredible News! Mazal Tov!"
I recieved a response from the girl way too quickly for someone who should be at their lchaim. It said "You are so sweet, but its not me. Different girl. IYH Simchas by you".
SO Embarrasing!

Nice take on Rachel Imeinu
Message from the Mash
Dear Alumni and Friends,
Today, Thursday, the 11th day of MarCheshvan is the yartzheit of Rachel
Imeinu. During the churban of the Bais Hamikdash our people passed
Kever Rochel on their journey to exile, death and servitude. As she
does only too often, Rochel weeped for her children. As the prophet
Yirmeyahu told us, Hashem told Rochel to refrain from crying. Hashem
assured Rochel that there would be reward for her action and hope for
the future and that the children will return to their borders.
For certain we are today in Eretz Yisroel because of her tears. But
perhaps return to borders means more than just the Land. We live in a
world without g'vulim, without borders. Nothing is sacred and we are
exposed to everything. On this, her yartzheit let's try to return ourselves
to the borders that the Torah and the chachamim have given us for our
own benefit and welfare. Let's try to do something for integrity and for
modesty. Let's try to come home to our borders.

I cropped the picture & posted it up there but can someone figure out how to center that picture up there? I can't seem to.
Wedding Picture
Here is a picture from our wedding. I remember it like it was yesterday. Except for the logo floating in mid-air. Sorry about that.
