Long Time, No Write!

Wow! It has been a shamefully long time since I've updated this. I don't know what happened. I just got busy and spaced out on it completely! I've been thinking about my blog lately, though, and have missed writing.

So much has happened in our lives! We are about 2 months & 24 days from leaving Thailand. It's been decided that Mitsu will work in New York City after this, so we're going to America! It's sort of wild to think about. I feel like (and I suppose I really have) lived most of my adult life outside of the US. It's hard to imagine going back. I am looking SO forward to it, though. I'm going to be able to see my family and friends so much more often. It's going to be wonderful! We're still looking at places to live there. We've had trouble figuring out what looks good and what doesn't, but we're sincerely starting to lean more towards living in NJ. It's much cheaper than NY, and the largest Japanese supermarket on the East Coast is in NJ, right around where we are looking for places. We'll get it figured out, but it's rough!

We are flying to Krabi, a southern Thai island, next week for the Songkran holiday. Tomorrow (the 6th) is a holiday here in Thailand, so I'm excited for that, too. I sort of treasure holidays. I spend so much time during the week all alone, so the more time I have with Mitsu and Tomoyuki, the better.

We're flying to Japan in May. We're really looking forward to it. It's been nearly a year since we've been to Japan, so it will be nice to be back there. It's a nice place to be, really. It's crowded, and there just isn't enough space a lot of the time, but Japan is one of my favorite places, really. It's beautiful & clean. I think really treasure those two qualities after living in Bangkok for nearly three years. ;)

I had lunch with Mitsu this afternoon, and on my way home, I stopped by one of my favorite bakeries. I had read on Facebook that they have this new thing called "Cherry Crumble Cheesecake". It looked amazing online, so I just had to stop by and grab some. I got take-out, and enjoyed it at home.

This cake was one of the absolute most delicious things I have ever eaten in my life! Wonderful! I offered to buy something for Mitsu and bring it home for him to eat after he got off work, but he said he wasn't interested. I told him about how wonderful this was, and I think he sort of regretted not having me grab some for him. He wants to go tomorrow to grab some and try it for himself. It was amazing! :)

Tomo-kun is well. As handsome as ever, of course. :)

Well, that's all I have for now. See ya!
