PHWOAR!!

so after a couple of questions that have come to me like "who the heck is that on your bulletin board in your office", i will take a moment to explain. the picture of the couple on the right is composed of Mr. Omeed Rameshni-Khamsi and Mrs. Kathryn Rameshni-Khamsi. Omeed held the position, before me, which i know have. he left a FANTASTIC legacy here. he improved the office dramatically, and i'm finding it hard to really keep up with his flury of accomplishments. he is, in short, a beautiful man. BUT he is nothing compared to his wife :). Kathryn is so intelligent and real...she really keeps Omeed in his place, whose head is just sort of everywhere most of the time. they are both wonderful, wonderful people and completely committed to the Faith.

the couple on the left is of Omeed's sister Amelia and her husband Shingo. There is only one word to describe these two: cool...EXTREMELY cool. they ooze it; from the way the dress to the way they carry themselves and interact with others. they even produced a cool baby. Shiori is beautiful and amazing...incredibly talented herself. if i had pictures of Amelia and Shingo's art work i would put it up. what an incredible family!

i had about a month with Omeed. it was a fun-filled learning experience, and he trained me quite well. we had one favorite game though which is worth mentioning. it was called XBC. because of the sensitive nature of this information, i cannot divulge the rules and concepts of this game. IF however, you ever find yourself in haifa, and stop by the office, we may just play a round or two.
