on wednesday night. we went to a going away party for us. hosted by one of my best friends over here. who often has these kinds of parties. but tonight was extra special. because it was the last one i will be at for awhile.
the evening was perfect. amazing food. thanks to the four of the guests being professional chefs. we had a mix of japanese, italian and french food. and a perfect variety of wine. thanks to another guest being a sommelier. and hours and hours of talking. laughing. and a few tears. thanks to the fourteen of us there.
this is what i will miss most from japan.
i just stumbled upon your blog, and I just want to put it in my pocket. You're so cute and positive! I wish you lived here and were my friend. And I wish I had time to keep up with your posts...but with 4 little ones to dote after...Good luck to you and your travels!

I feel the same way as Lauren, you always bring so much joy with words and visuals. It is going to be tough leaving, no doubt about it. I still miss Beijing will all of my heart and soul. I have never been the same and hope to return to live there for good, one day. Canada has its charms, I love Canada very much. In all that you do, if you enter it with a spirit of curiosity and wonder it will al be ok. You have your wonderful husband next to you and that is all you need to make any place home. Good luck sweet girl.
