20 days with no update! And people wonder why I gave up “professional” blogging. As usual I have a ton going on, but I’ll try to keep it in chronological order, going back to late June- my birthday! Birthday week started out fantastic- Kelsey took me to a Mariners game! We sat in the sun, [...]

To start, I said I’d talk a little more about volunteering. I’m volunteering for Purrfect Pals Cat Shelter, because they are the wonderful organization we adopted our little Penny from Penny the day we brought her home! Anyways, to thank Purrfect Pals for helping make Dan, Penny and I a family, I started volunteering. Many [...]

It’s March 20th this evening. Dan and I have officially survived being apart 2 months. Which means I’ve pretty much been in Seattle for 2 months, and things have really come together as I’ve finally settled in. When I first arrived in late January, after being sick for 2 weeks and 2 straight days of [...]

The past week has been a whirlwind of errands, parties, packing and goodbyes. Today I went back to the hospital to get my 6 stitches out, but the doctor could only take 1 out. I’m so irritated I have to not only go back, but it’s the day I leave Japan! My to-do list is [...]

I’ve been putting off blogging about this for a while, and once I wrote it out, I sat on it for even longer. Maybe I kept thinking I’d change my mind. Or I’d find a perfect job here in Tokyo. Or all my US family and friends would decide to move to Japan. But those [...]
