Last night I had the wonderful pleasure of meeting my cousin Tuvya (Klarissa and Rueven's middle son) for the first time.  IT WAS A BLAST... Tuvya invited me over to his art and toy-adorned apartment in Northeaster Tel-Aviv and prepared dinner for all of us... He lives there with his wife Ifat, and his three children Shahar 8, Ofek 6, and Tal 3.  We had dinner, laughed alot, played Wii, listened to music, told stories, laughed some more, and when Ifat got home from work, we ate more... Oh, and she tried to set me up on a Jewish-Arranged Marriage/Date... It was so funny... She asked if I wanted to meet someone special "She is tall, blonde, 21 and from the Kibbutz (commune farm)."  What was I supposed to do? Refuse her?  SO... I let her invite the neighbor girl over to meet me... Thankfully it wasn't too awkward... 
Later, after 'I' tucked the kids into bed, Tuvya brought me home - but first we made a detour to his favorite Schwarma shop... It was really good!
Overall, I feel like I fit right in... Their is definitely a connection there... They feel like family.  I am very thankful.
