My second home.

The break in TEXAS has been wonderful. but i'll blog about that later with pictures...What I wanted to blog about this morning was my second home. My home in jerusalem. I was watching a documentary with my father-in- law on Jeru, and it made me miss it, and miss the details and beauty of my home at the jersalem center where i lived for 4 months.
In my opinion, this building is a palace. it is up there with castles where royalty live. Everything is beautiful about it. i miss it, and want to go back. its weird to me tha in about a week it will have been 2 years since i have been to my second home. crazy, life has changed a lot since then. I mean i'm married for goodness sake! That is a big change, but a great change. i miss my second home and the people that filled it. i miss the furniture, the game nights, sitting in class and looking out the window that overlooks the city, and shabbot. the best day of the week, that without fail i cried because everything in life was perfect and beautiful. i miss it. i want to go back.


The stairs that goes to our rooms.like 4 different floor levels.
The sign
One of my favorite things that makes the center so unique. This is the entrance to one of our dorms. its inside the center, but outside as well.
the grand entrance to the center.
One of the classrooms.
The arch pillars. one of the signiture features.
The library.

This is my friend Anne, with the sign that is on the busy main street to direct people where the center is. i love this sign. Stunning. this is the auditorium that overlooks jerusalem, this is where we have church. now u know why i cried every shabbot.
My home.

.

Well, today we make the trip to Utah.
Then early before the sun comes up tommorow in the moring we travel to
God's Country....
Thank heavens.

Can't wait to wear our flip flops, get in our car and be able to just drive without snow or ice on the road. Feel the sun, eat at amazing places, and shop at some of the best shopping.
And be with family and friends.
Goodbye rexBURG and miserable weather,
Hello Heaven and sun!

REXBURG

Dear Rexburg,
Justin and I desperately need jobs this winter. We need to make some kind of money. I hate that you don't have enough jobs for all the students that are here in Rexburg. I hate that you only pay minimum wage, when the last time i got minimum wage was about 5 years ago. That's rude. Please give me a job that I will enjoy during the bitter cold weather you will be bringing me. Thanks,
Hayley
