Big news, and a long break from writing

For the last four months I've taken a break from writing. Many due to the fact that I have had to focus all my attention on other matters, namely work and something very important. By now all my friends and family should know the big news that I had been holding back from everyone for a while, but in case there is someone out there who knows me that doesn't know what I'm talking about, heres the big news. I'm getting married!

Last summer I proposed to my girlfriend Yuuki, and after months and months of keeping this a secret we were finally able to tell everyone last month. It was a wonderful moment for us both and we are very excited about the future. The good news is our wedding is now set for Christmas day in Kofu! I'm hoping that many of my friends and family can attend this wedding. However it will be hard since it will be in Japan and many of my American and other friends from abroad may not be able to make it. Still it will be an exciting day for us.

Of course with all the preparations for this event occuring now, I have less time and money to spend outside of Kofu these days. But I am still enjoying myself and having fun whenever I can. Recently I got a nice little vacation thanks to the golden week holidays here in Japan. But honestly I did very little other than going out to dinner a lot and watching plenty of movies. Simple yes, but I don't mind. Im very happy though as in a few weeks I'll be going to visit the city of Nara. Ill have a chance to see some more historic Japanese places then.

Other than that not much happening, just enjoying this wonderful weather and wonderful time!
