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 [...]

I figured today I would give little updates on topics I’ve touched on recently. I’m super excited to do a post about this past weekend, my nephew’s second birthday, but figured that deserved a post of its own! Food My diet’s been going really well for the most part, with the exception of this past [...]

First off, exciting news- I finally got professionally fitted for running shoes after being a runner for 2 years. I did go see a podiatrist when I was having Achilles problems and she recommended New Balance shoes for me, but beyond that I’d never had any professional critique. I ended up purchasing TWO sizes bigger [...]

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 [...]

First off, someone asked what Ostrim jerky was, the jerky I ate during my half marathon last month. It’s really great for fueling as long as you eat it well before exercising! Here’s a shot of the packaging. I buy it at GNC. Jumping backwards by a little over a month, I never told the [...]

The Seattle Saga

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 [...]

Big News! I’m Moving!

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 [...]
