I know you really almost "just" moved into our house, but I must admit you stole your way into my little heart Quite quickly and took up quite a bit of space. And now you that you're gone (I know it's only been 2 days going on 3) I miss you terribly! I don't know really why...but I just do! I love and miss you, I think I can say that really honestly right now....at this moment....yes. Anyway here are pictures that remind you of "US" yes, me + you together...and they make me happy. Hurry home.

It's April the 17th and we've been having weird weather recently. This morning at about 1:15 am I got dropped off in front of my house after hanging out with good ol' friends. The car we got dropped off in was coverd in slush...there was slush on the ground and it was slightly raining. I've been hearing that Nigatta and Hokkaido was having snow and felt sorry for them but was sorta comforted by the thought that I live in a warm part of Japan (Chiba) and snowing is RARE! But as I crwalled outta bed at 7:00 am I was shocked at what I saw, so at 8:00 I grabbed my cam and went out back and took these...just to prove I'm not lying!

Ok, so my mother got angry that I deleted my old blog. because she said she sometimes looks at the old photos, so I put it back up, so you can go look at the old photos and stuff, I won't be posting anymore but for old times sakes....or whatever anyway have fun! http://old-blogposts.blogspot.com/

I just wanted to say that my other blog, is gone: imjustthinking.blogspot.com <---that one! yes I deleted it, I got tired of going on it and not being able to write anything, and I'm sure you all got tired of going on it and seeing nothing, so I will now focus on this one, and the other one, (if you know what I'm talking about good for you, if you don't....whatever.) Anyway, thats all. Now I'm going to go and get out of work mode, and into lazy-sleep-all-day mode. good bye!

I just watched this movie, so good, and sweet, and I cried........lol

What is this!? Is it good? Is it safe!?
Someone gave these to us very excitedly and said "look look! Do you know what these are!? Have you drank it before? It's Italian!" Still catching their breath, all the while looking for a happy reaction...."Thanks, but I've never seen them...I only drank wine, beer, and water in Italy....but that's cool thanks! "Oh and here are some pringles, the new flavor, crispy pizza! Grin* they were really yummy!" "Awww your so sweet thank you so much!" (wow what is this!?) Idea struck, let's ask....see if it's famous enough to be known by those who actually live there, or to see if it's one of those products that are only exported and never seen in the country. So tell me ok!?

Crys and Kaia if you can see, it's written that it's from Italy

The pringles were good, they tasted like a mix combo pizza in costco...tasted the most like peperoni I think.

Do not go where the path may lead.
Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail...

-Emerson

Learn from Yesterday,
Live for today,
Hope for tomorrow.

Do not dwell in the past,
Do not dream of the future,
Concentrate the mind on the present moment.
-Buddha

We must be willing to get rid of the life we planned,
so as to have the life that is waiting for us.
The old skin must be shed before the new one can come.
-Joseph Campbell

Success seems to be largely a matter of
hanging on after others have let go.
-William Feather

Life indeed would be dull
if there were no such difficulties.

Every day may not be good
but there's something good in every day.

For attractive lips,
speak words of kindness.
For lovely eyes,
seek out the good in people.
For a slim figure,
share your food with the hungry.
For poise,
Walk with the knowledge that you will never walk alone.
People, even more than things need to be
restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed and redeemed:
Never throw out anyone.
-Audrey Hepburn

Come Home soon.

It's so nice that the weather is finally getting warmer and all the flowers and sakura are blooming.
Today I was with the girls during nap time but I walked into the room to find 2 sad looking girls. Mandy tells me that Alysha has left her most precious and valuable thing (her necklace) on the park bench and they both pleaded with me to go pick it up. Since it was so nice and warm I also couldn't resist. I grabbed my camera and off we went.

Aren't they SO CUTE! I love it...them.
