Yesterday we had a gigantic amount of rain in Morioka, which is huge! That means that we are now away from negative degree weather and it's now a waiting game until the beautiful sunshine shines warm and I can start working on my tan. I think the high today is 2 degrees. YES!! Today is also Graduation for the third year students. Everyone at the school looks their finest and I've even donned a skirt for the occasion. Tonight is our biggest enkai, which I am very much looking forward to. All in all, spring is coming and I can't wait. Happy March!
Also, as a friend of mine informs me, yesterday was Garlic Day in Japan.
2-29 (2 is ni)(9 is ku)= ninniku = which means garlic. OK, it's just a play on numbers but everyone should eat a big bite of GARLIC today!
39 (san)(kyu)= Thank you!

- It's been both a year since we got married and a year since we've moved to Japan. These 12 months have been a constant blessing of adventure, love, friends, and family. In a year we've seen the best of Japanese festivals, learned the values of healthy eating, taken countless pictures, and enjoyed both gigantic gatherings and complete isolation. We continue to count our blessings.

Juni, you might know already but here's another play on words, which could save you some money: Most meat shops in Japan are on sale on the 29th, calling the day "niku (29) no hi", "day of meat".
