Dan and I had a very fun New Years Eve! We were invited to a party at his friend Ryan’s house. We spent the day before making all sorts of goodies for the party- Oreo truffles (dipped in white chocolate and butterscotch!), chocolate dipped Oreos, and cocoa rice krispy treats! I also picked up some […]

Dan and I had a really wonderful Christmas together here in Japan. Neither of us had ever been away from family before during the holidays (pretty impressive, considering we’re 26 and 29!), but we still really enjoyed it.

One night when Dan was done working, we set out on foot to find some pretty lights. We had heard that there were Christmas lights in the area but hadn’t seen anything impressive. Unfortunately we didn’t find as many lights as we normally see at home. We did see some neat lit up areas though! […]

This was a fun one, and a surprise! Dan told me to meet him in Shinagawa around 5:30ish, because we were going to a show. We trained a few stations out to Roppongi and I thought to ask, “is this in Japanese?” and he said, “there’s no talking!” Now I was really stumped. Then we […]

Christmas Adventure- Bake Shops

When I first moved here, I was shocked at how few baking things I could buy here. Our local grocery store has nothing! A couple interesting looking mixes, some sprinkles, some nuts. It was very disappointing. Luckily my wonderful bestie in Seattle, Kelsey, sent me muffin mix for my birthday, and all you had to […]

To kick off our holiday festivities, Dan completely surprised me with a trip to Tokyo Disneyland! Because It was such a surprise, I didn’t have my camera with me or get any pictures. I had just had my job interview and I texted Dan to tell him how it went. He told me to meet […]
