and I will travel

I'm off again!

The latest adventure takes place in Scotland visiting a dear friend from Japan days. Over the years we have had quite the adventures together all over the world!

I can simply not wait to see her and the Scottish lands :)

when I return to Boston I will prepare for several visitors to come through and cannot wait to catch up with college friends! It's going to be a busy fall!!

better late than never, right?!

Weddings are a great time to celebrate the bride and groom and we were lucky enough to have a mini-family reunion too!

I was able to see my grandma after way too long,

I was able to meet one of the newest additions to the family- Annika Claire!

I was able to spend time with aunts and uncles and cousins- it was a great weekend!

Welcome to the family Jeff! Congratulations Kelly!

My musical influence

Having moved to Japan at 13 years old and coming back to the United States at 16 meant that I missed a lot of the current music. To this day people still are amazed that I haven't heard of some the big songs/artists of those years. This is what I was influenced by (and sang every time I went to karaoke) as a teenager:

the scariest part is that I still remember a lot of the words! yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!
