Sorry!

My apologizes to my faithful readers,
because I have not been faithful this weekend,
to my beloved blog.

Story 1:
I am a big sister!
No, my mom is not pregnant.
And, no, my parents are not adopting.
The church we SYME'ers attend has a program where the kids in the church get a "big brother" or a "big sister".
Yay!
Super excited.
I think I get to meet her this coming Sunday.
I can't wait!!

RIP.
To my beloved, cherished, and well-fed sweet tooth.
You have been spoiled to the brink of death the past few days.
I fear to announce,
you have lost your sugar eating privileges for some time

I went to a super market on Saturday.
I forgot I was in Asia.
Isle 1: fish
Isle 2: fish things
Isle 3: fish things
Isle 15: fish things
Isle 30: fish
Mmm, now...
Where would I find peanut butter?
Conclusion: I didn't.
But the trip was successful when I found blueberry bread
(and I realized blueberry bread has nothing to do with peanut butter,
but it made me forget why I was there)
(and later I found out there was a foreign Isle)
(probably between Fishy Isle 5 and Fishy Isle 7)
(Don't get me wrong,
the grocery store is AMAZING,)
(I love fish and things)
(but when a foreigner wants her peanut butter,
a foreigner wants her peanut butter.)
(I will post the pictures of the blueberry bread when I find my camera)
(....heh)

Who thinks climbing an active volcano in Japan would be super amazing?

Conveniently, there seems to be a volcano in my town!

(**shout out** don't worry gramma metthe, gramma peterson, mom, ashley, and other relatives... I won't go alone)

Cute story:

Since I look like a total English-speaking American

I often get stopped by random Japanese people

and have the most adorable little English conversations.

Saturday, I was crossing the road.

And this elderly man was driving his cute baby truck.

He looks at me, slows down, got the THE BIGGEST smile on his face,

and says to me (rather loud and super confident),

"HELLO!"

And I smiled, waved, and said, "hello!"

And he nodded his head (having nothing more to say)

and smiled as he drove away.

Hah! Super random, yet SUPER cute!

I am blessed to be in this country.

Thank you!!!
