i do still live in japan. it's been great! i teach 2 year olds and they're the cutest! i have a blog of some cute stories of them at http://teachesl2kids.blogspot.com but recently i've been working a lot on a different site about teaching young kids. so i don't update the blog so often.
i met my husband here and got "officially" married. but we didn't say vows or have a ceremony. on march 31, our one-year anniversary, we're moving to america. we're stopping in vegas first for a private ceremony (probably elvis), then going to my hometown in NY, then to hawaii for a honeymoon cruise, and after that we're settling in hawaii.
we're starting our own business in hawaii and have enough money saved to last a year...but i'm still having fantasies about hitting that jackpot in vegas and being able to buy a house right away. :-)

love,
shannon
