First off, I had to share my most recent care package. While at Disney World with my mom I was interested in a Dooney & Bourke handbag that had Minnie Mouse bows all over it. The shop on Main Street had a decent selection of Disney Dooney bags, but I really had my heart set […]

Dan’s dad and stepmom came to visit Tokyo which is pretty awesome! His dad was just passing through on his way to Beijing for business, but his stepmom is here for a few more days. It’s neat to have family come visit. My mom will be visiting Japan, but after I’m no longer living here, […]

In my last entry I blogged all about my races at Tower of Terror, so now I’ll tell you all about the fun stuff my mom and I did! But it starts with the not-so-fun: waking up at 2-something in the morning for the airport shuttle! Oh it was rough. But what was really nice […]

The truth has officially come out- Dan and I are married! And have been for about 3 years! Summer 2010 was a turbulent time. My marketing job wasn’t panning out as I’d hoped, Dan was moving to Japan in September and my mother was diagnosed with aggressive cancer. It was a lot to deal with. […]
