För exakt tvâ âr sedan spenderade vi vâra sista timmar i Paris. När jag tänker tillbaka fascineras jag över hur säkra och mâlmedvetna vi var, hur vi vägrade ge vika för stress och kanske t om vett. Jag kikade in pâ min engelska blogg och kan inte lâta bli att publicera mitt sista inlägg frân Frankrike och mitt första frân Israel;

Tonight is the night...
and tomorrow we will start a new life, far away from everything we're used to.
People have been passing by to say goodbye since this morning. A journalist from Maariv came and interviewed us about Israel, our life in France and our Aliyah, I cried several times, I can't control myself anymore.
We didn't have much sleep, I guess this night will be worse since we're leaving the house a 3 o'clock tomorrow morning.
We haven't said goodbye to the Rabbi yet, we save the worst for last.
Bye for now, next hello will be a shalom from Israel!

Yesterday was so full of happiness that it will be kept in my memory together with the days I gave birth to my children, got converted and married.
The trip was fantastic. The plane was full of Parisian olim, singing, clapping hands, laughing, crying, hugging eachother. When we approached the Ben gOurion Airport everybody put on their "Olim Hadashim" tshirts and caps and the whole plane had a common countdown, at zero, when the wheels touched the ground the children where screaming of joy and lots of adults where crying of emotion and proud. I hope we will all sort it out here and that all of us, in a year or two will think back of this step as one of the most important steps of our lives.
The welcome ceremony was very moving and saying thank you and good-bye to the staff of the Jewish agency difficult. They have been with us for a year and half, and have accomplished their task, now they will start all over again with new families.
A Shirout took us home to our appartement in Natanya in the afternoon and we brought our 400 kilos of luggage inside.
Today we will start furnishing the appartment.

Jag kommer ihåg när du skrev de där inläggen. Tänk att det redan/bara gått två år!
Jag får gåshud när jag läser, blir tårögd och kan nästan känna anspänningen men även glädjen, gemenskapen och lyckan! Berätta mer!!!
Kram!
Häftigt! Vilken spänning i kroppen det måste ha varit!
