Happy *belated* 2014

It's been a while (of course) since I last updated this blog. And like usual, much has changed. Since August of 2013, I have changed jobs. Now I am working part time in a public junior high school as an assistant language teacher. The students are pretty nice and the other teachers are really friendly. It would be an awesome job if not for the dreaded dispatch company I work for directly. Oh well, my contract is up in March and I intend to move on to greener pastures... specifically, MOTHERHOOD! The husband and I are expecting our first child who is due to arrive sometime in early May. It's a girl and so begins a whole new odyssey in my Japan adventure. For the past few months I have been researching everything under the sun about pregnancy, birth, and children. My husband is so excited he keeps saying he wants her to come out NOW but it's a little too soon for that. We have prepared almost everything that needs to be prepared, bought a bunch of super tiny clothes and diapers and now all we have to do is... inwardly panic and wait. :)

In other updates, the hubby and I had our big Tokyo wedding way back in October and everything went off without a hitch. The day whizzed by really fast and it was a lovely day - the sun was shining, everyone showed up (including the groom) and there were smiles all around. That being said, I'm glad it's a one time thing!
