Bobby and I were recently given the opportunity to meet friends in Kyoto to see a Kabuki (traditional Japanese theatre) show...
Here's the link to our pictures from that day...

What an experience!! So thankful for these generous friends who gave us such a great cultural experience that many people never get to have (even Japanese people)!

Changing things up...
Ah, spring is here! (and my blog needed the proof!)
Sorry it's been so long... blogging has gotten bumped really far down on my priority list, which makes me a little sad. I really do enjoy doing it, and also enjoy having the record of what we've been up to (which is fun to look back on!) but I just haven't been making time for it these days. Language study is pretty draining, so I am pretty selective about what I do with my free time... although blogging is probably a good form of debriefing, I just don't ever feel up to doing it after a full day/week of studying!
Anyway, I thought I could at least give my blog a spring/summer (sneeky of me to choose a theme I can use for 2 seasons!) and thought it might inspire me to write more.
There is something that's been on my heart in the last few months that I'm debating about blogging about... I'd love to take the time to share what's going on inside me these days, but it's pretty personal, and I'm not sure I'm ready to make it "public" yet. I have a feeling it has the potential to be very healing for me (and perhaps others too) to just open up about it, but I haven't decided if I'm going to or not. (vague, I know... sorry about that!) One thing that's stopping me from doing it is the fact that I think it might be better expressed in the form of journaling between God and I first... and maybe shared with "the world" later on. What I really need to do is just sit down and process... praying and writing, but I know it's going to be a pretty emotional time and not something that can be done quickly so I've been putting it off... but I need to do it soon!
So... for now I'm holding off on blogging about it... and obviously time will tell what my decision ends up being!
Well, I should be off to bed for now... another busy week takes off tomorrow so I ought to get a good night's rest! Thanks for your patience, faithful readers! :)
