[22] DH: Kale Ephriam Mendel
[21] DW: Faye Julieta [Meredith] Mendel
Kale grew up as an only child in the suburbs of New York City. His parents were Aaron and Hadassah Mendel, Jewish hippies. They were both raised in New York in traditional Jewish families, but neither were content living such a strict, religious lifestyle. They somehow found each other among the other Jews in the community and realized they shared the same inner longings. When she was just 16 and he was just 19, they ran off and left New York to travel across the country to California, to the great dismay of their families. They stayed there for awhile, living a poor, but happy life. Once they became restless, they traveled around the U.S. in an old, falling-apart RV for a number of years. It was during that time when Hadassah finally became pregnant. She and Aaron had always wanted a few children, but by that time, she was nearing 40, and they thought it was too late. However, Hadassah conceived, and Kale Ephriam was born 9 months later. He was given the name Ephriam because Aaron and Hadassah wanted to keep a bit of their Jewish ancestry alive in him, and because they believed naming him a name meaning "fruitful" would break the curse of childlessness they feared they had placed on him. After he was born, Aaron and Hadassah moved back to New York to raise Kale near where they had grown up. Although Aaron and Hadassah's relationships with their families were somewhat strained, everyone adored baby Kale and there was no shortage of love surrounding him. He grew up to be a confident and humorous young man. He was slightly arrogant, and a bit of a rebel considering his parents, but he was charming nonetheless.
Faye Meredith grew up in rural New York on a farm with enough cows, pigs, chickens, and children to fit on the ark. Her parents, John and Margaret, were old fashioned country folks who, along with Faye, raised ten other children: Natalie, June, Isaac, Julian, Emmett, Oliver, [Faye], Daisy, Marguerite, Mark, and Lucy. Being one of eleven plus a ton of farm animals, Faye didn't get much attention from her parents, although they loved their children very much. She spent her time helping out on the farm and playing with Emmett and Oliver, the twins who were only a year old than she. Faye was a quiet girl, a tomboy who did well in school. She went to a small public school in which she and her siblings made up a third of the all the students. She enjoyed growing up on a farm with a lot of siblings, but by the time she was 18, she was ready to move to the city, attend a university, and be her own independent person who was not associated with ten other people.
While at a university in New York City, Faye became acquainted with Kale, as they sat next to each other in a couple classes. She loved his confidence and humor and she even liked his cockiness. As her attraction for him grew, she began to doubt herself, wondering if she was wasting her time and thoughts, because he would never like a quiet, nerdy girl like her. However, one day she got the guts to ask him to be her lab partner in biology. It was an impulse decision, she hadn't been planning on approaching him on her own ever. But he didn't decline, if only out of politeness. Admittingly, Kale hadn't noticed her before, but he realized that had been mistake. He was busy hanging out and partying with all sorts of other girls, but it was then that he realized Faye was the kind of girl he wanted to be with. She was sweet, kind, intelligent and dedicated. She had a sarcastic side that not many people knew about, not to mention she was one of the prettiest girls he had ever seen, with her chocolate brown eyes, matching hair, and cute freckles on her nose. He asked her out that very day and she, of course, said yes. They dated throughout college, and Kale proposed to her on the night of his graduation.
Kale and Faye are young newlyweds, navigating married life, and Faye still finishing up her senior year at the university. Kale already has a great job as of real estate agent, and despite their young age, Kale and Faye are eager to have children and begin their next adventures together.
