Small World/Big News

Yesterday, Jeph and I had the pleasure of having lunch with one of Amberly's co-workers! Mutsi is originally from Osaka and she and her hubby have been living in NH for the past 17 years. She started work at Youville Hospital about 6 months before Amberly and has been such a wonderful support for Amberly-and has really been like a second mom. What a treat for J and I to see her here- made the world seem so wonderfully small!

Below is a picture taken from last week's West Line Dancing Bash we had at school- it's so fun having a job that allows me to play with my obsession for themes! Speaking of my job, I am humbled and grateful that the "interim" has been removed from my job title and I have been offered a permanent position! So... looks like we'll be here in Osaka for a few more years!

With much to be thankful for, we'll soon be heading off to church where we'll be celebrating an early Thanksgiving, complete with turkey (thanks to a Costco here in Osaka!), mashed potatoes and I've heard rumors of pumpkin pie!
