Ok, so I have a sinus infection and I should be sleeping, as it's currently 12:17am in Tokyo, but...
I'm getting married! For real! It's all coming together and my mind is spinning.

My family situation is complicated, to put it mildly, so it's looking like we have to hold 2 ceremonies and 2 reception/parties- one for mom's side and one for dad's side. And at first that made me want to curl up in a ball and cry, but I'm warming up to the idea now, and realizing that it could be LESS stressful this way.

Oh, and I forgot to mention. There's also going to be a big, Chinese dinner with Stan's family in California. OMG. This is getting complicated.

Stan and I live in Japan.
Our families live in the US.
We are going to make this all happen in just under 4 months.
O, my.


This is one of those "It takes a village" situations. And by a village, I really mean, a lot of help from moms, aunties, and assorted other friends and family members!

Wish us luck. I think we're going to need it!

Cherry Blossoms are everywhere! But the petals are already falling; creating pale, pink snowflakes.






And finally, tiny hands collecting petals...
