happy (very late) new year!

one of my new years resolutions is to post a blog at least once a week (starting today :P)!

life of recent has been busy with the new school term, shoveling snow (this year is turning out to be more like my first year = lots of snow!), making lots of decisions, and trying to defrost my pipes.

i have finally made the decision to stay one more year (mom, please forgive me!) and then that will be it. i'll be back in the states next year, so for all of those who want to visit while i still live here (i'm really hoping the family comes!! :P), then you have about a year and a half, so start checking those calendars!! ;)

i'm also going to be moving to a new place probably in march or april and i'm sooooo excited about it! i'm hoping for no more frozen pipes and a proper bath tub :) i actually went to go look at a place on sunday and it seemed sooooooo nice. so i'm taking one of my japanese friends, who is well versed in the moving process in this country, with me to check it out this weekend. but it has a nice heater and an A/C, which means comfort during the summer ~ woo hoo! but i have to decide by the 31st if i want that place, so i don't have a lot of time to decide.

in the mean time ... here are some pictures from the last month ~
