lesson #1: kore/sore/are...

flights booked, rail pass purchased...and before you know it, it will be October 8th and I'll be following Britt around like a lost puppy in Japan. It will be a quick trip (for me at least, only one week) but I am SO excited! Although, I don't quite know how I'll get by without my darling...i am super duper excited for the trip with friend turned tour guide Brittan! poor Britt and Clark will have to hear me practice Japanese phrases for the next few months...

Busy time of year for everyone it seems. Lots of traveling and planning happening. We've got a sister and a set of parents staying with during the first two weekends of August as well as four concerts (so far..). Can't wait though, all goods things. and this domestic planning has been great fun too. It's amazing how excited you can get over a new set of sheets (clark: "match? why do you have to match your sheets? match them to what?" shannon: "why do you have one thousand pairs of shoes? i don't know, you just do!")
