Alright, so yesterday was National Sibling Day, and of course I didn’t know until the day was nearly over!
\nSo in honor of NSD, (or as you probably see it now, Throwback Thursday), here’s my sister and I, back in I believe 1989. I’m in blue

\nI’m so lucky to have such a great big sister!<\/p>\n

Anyway, today being tanabata dance day, I spent the day over at Yokota air force base with my friend Christine. We ran, chatted and made hair pieces to wear with our yukatas. My run was ok- I’ve finally learned I just have to go as slow as possible right now to be pain free. And it worked! I was still sore though, my calves were killing me from a ChaLEAN Extreme workout I did yesterday. We did lots of lunges with a heel lift!<\/p>\n

We worked on a challenging dance in class tonight that I’ll be performing at Yokota Elementary May 3rd. I need a lot of practice! Also, I got my club yukata, which I’m really excited about.

So a few weeks ago I purchased a couple yuakatas (you can see them here<\/a>), and those are what we’ll normally perform at festivals in. We’ll all be different, bright colors. But for some fancier festivals, or tanabata festivals, we’ll have matching yukatas. <\/p>\n

Tomorrow is Friday and you know that always puts me in a good mood- it’s hashing day! We’re celebrating a belated birthday, and I’m going to whip up his favorite- snickerdoodles!<\/p>\n
