Whatever I did, it worked!
June 13, 2007
Hello all. This quirky blogger site. Last time I blindly navigated my blogger home page as it was all displayed in Japanese. Today, I hit a few buttons and now I am able to see all my options in English. Whatever I did, it worked and I hope it stays this way until I know how to read the language. Written Japanese is very beautiful, especially Japanese caligraphy. I hope to collect a few caligraphy writings while I am here.
Anyhoo, June is almost half way over. Wow the time is flying by. Our one year anniversary is coming up, followed by a visit from Rebecca and Peter from Oregon. We are super excited and planning some fun trips.
I was so in awe of the beautiful buildings, bridges and churches we visited while in England a few years back. To be standing in a structure built hundreds of years before our own country was even in existance was amazing. So being in Japan is just as awe inspiring. There is a temple in Nara, Japan known as Askadera that was built around the year 596 I believe. I hope to visit this temple when we go to Kyoto, Japan. Kyoto was the capital of Japan prior to Edo/Tokyo, so there are many ancient sites to see.
Ronan is as wonderful as ever. Loves all things icky in my opinion. He is very interested in bugs and Japan seems to have a plethera of them for Ronan to look at and try and touch. We do caution him NOT to touch the centipedes since they are poisonous. Haven't seen one yet, but I know they are out there lurking. I hope to take advantage of the outdoors more this summer than last year. After living in sunny Southern CA for two years where it hardly rained and the weather did not reach into the high 90's while I was there, I was taken aback by the sweltering heat and high humidity of this area last year. Being a Louisiana girl, I can handle it when I am eased into it. Check back in a few months to see if we are staying in or enjoying outside activities. I hope the latter.
I hope all the Smiths, Lines', Perrys, DeFosses', Stones, Bechtas, Annulis', Breauxs and Croziers are doing well. Please keep in touch.
Cheers
Kristin
