I am sorry that it has been ages since I updated. First my internet wasn't working and we had to get it fixed which took about a week and a half and then my computer completely died which really sucked and . . . still sucks!!!!! I love and hate technology. Ya know? Love and hate relationship.
Where to start. . .where to start. . .
I'm not sure if I've told you personally or not but I will be returning home next year in April. I'm really at peace and actually excited about this new change. :) My teaching job here will finish March 26th or something like that, my parents (maybe Anna) will come around April 1st (depending on Wendee's due date ;) ) and will stay for a about 2 weeks. I'm really excited about them coming to Japan. I haven't had any guests come and stay with me which is a bit sad but I understand. BUT I AM thrilled to have guests come and to be able to show them around and what not. After that I will head home 5days to 1 week later. I will want a bit of time to say goodbye and pack up some last stuff. When I told a friend of mine here she began to cry!!!! Wow! I was really surprised. I will miss Japan but I feel ready to come home. . . though the declining economy kind of frightens me. . .when I came to Japan the yen to dollar ratio was 100 yen to 1.45 dollars. ..now it's 100 yen to 1.00007 dollars or something like that. . .basically it's 1 to 1 . . wait I'm going to check today. . .it's not out yet . . I get the currency rates sent to me daily :)
Oh, something new. . my roommate, Charlene, has moved back to Australia. She moved out in September. I've been her roommate since the second month I moved to Japan which seems like forever. I'm happy for her though. . .a little jealous but happy. :) Here are some pics of our last supper. hahahha

Well, there were 3 little monkeys living in Japan. . . 1 returned home . . . now there are 2 little monkeys living in Japan.
I hope you are all well and that life is going smoothly and not too fast for you. I'm already getting head spins from how fast this year is going. It's already Fall and it just feels like I was in Oregon for summer vacation. Phew! I love the Fall though. . it's by far my favorite season I've decided. The air is crisp, the mornings are nice and cool and the afternoons are sunny and warm. I love it. It has been a little rainy but nothing like Oregon :) I miss Oregon Autumns. I love that bit of rain and the smell of the leaves and grass after a Autumn rain. Here it's nice too. Especially out in the countryside. Yes, there is a countryside. :)
I hope that you all feel more up to date with what is going on with me :)
Love you all!!!!
Melody
