A Woman of Valor...

Even though Annie does not allow us to sing "Eishet Hayil" -- "Woman of Valor" at our Shabbat table, there truly could not be words that describe her better. It was her total generosity of time, money and most of all spirit that allowed me to do this important, meaningful and fun adventure. She has not only sacrificed during the times when I went out riding or to the JCC, but to be at home with 3 kids including 12 week old Dani -- well, there are no words. Every person who finds out that I have a 12 week old at home has the same remark: "And you're here!???!! You're wife let you come!!???" So either I am insensitive and selfish, or she is a saint. While some of the former may be true, all of the latter is. I think of Annie often while I am here, remembering when we met and started dating during our junior year abroad at Hebrew University, and also when we came here as a married couple six years later.
