Happy Halloween

It was Halloween and I have to say I enjoyed 2007 Halloween more than ok. Me and my friend, Ai carved 2 pumpkin and the first photo is our favorite one. I did? a pumpkin carving contest at work too. I believe it was the first time all division carved a pumpkin this year. But all pumpkin this year went bad very quick I think. So actually we could not do the contest just displayed.



October month was also nice for foliage. This year I did not go any particular place for foliage but I enjoyed it especially I was driving the expressway. My belly and also my appetite is getting bigger!!!

Happy Birthday to me!!!

クリスが誕生日にメアリーポッピンズのミュージカルを観にニューヨークに連れて行ってくれた。やっぱりジュリーアンドリュースが最高だけどミュージカルもなかなか違って、こってて良かった。いとこのまきちゃんが誕生日に送ってくれた無印のマタニティーの服を着て出かけました。 

Chris took me to New York for the musical Mary Poppins for my birthday. He bought me all Mary Poppins goods for me. A pen, key chain, T-shirt, and souvenior brochure. He carried them in the bag for me too. My cousin Masaki sent me maternity clothes from Muji and I am wearing it in that photo. Thank you. She should've have her second baby by now.


私の誕生日10月28日にボストンレッドソックスがまたまた3年ぶり?ワールドシリーズ優勝を果たした。1年後の昨日、マリコとイクヤくんがお祝いしにまたきてくれました。まりこはレッドの靴下?をはいて、わたしは33を、イクヤくんはオカジマのTシャツを着てます。テレビにマツザカ映ってる の見える? 二人ともありがとう。

Chris, business trip to Japan!!!

クリスが2007年9月ボストン東スクールの寮長に昇進しました。このたび日本の吉祥寺にある武蔵野東学園で、ボストン東スクール就職募集者の面接をしてきました。 

とても彼を誇りに思っています。 彼はとてもハードウォーカーであり、子供をとても愛するすばらしい教師であり、一緒に働くにもすばらしいボスでもあります。10月14日で私もボストン東10年目を迎えました。 この10年たくさんのことを学びましたが、彼と同じ部署で働き始めて彼と一緒に働いてこなかったら10年も保ったかわからないほど私は影響されました。私の結婚式の誓いの言葉をいうときにも言いました...私が初めてボストン東で目にしたのは、クリスが子供たちを
原っぱで追いかけていて、クリスも子供たちもとっても楽しそうに駆け回っていたところでした。今回私たち二人は新しい家族の一員を迎える準備をしています。もうすぐ私のすばらしいクリスが、私たち二人の子供と楽しく遊ぶ姿を見ることができます。とても幸せです。私たちも長い道のりを歩いてきたなと、10年という過去の事そしてクリスとの生活を思い出している今日この頃です。あー私頑張ったからご褒美は何にしよう。 誕生日ももうすぐです。私10月28日で33歳になります。皆さんはお元気ですか?

Chris went to Japan for a week since he was promoted to be the Residential Director and needed to recruit some people from Japan. Oops. To my dearest family, Chris got promoted to Residential Director since September 2007!!! I believe I should say this loud to my family. Funny thing to me is that Chris went to Japan without me. He has never been in Japan without me. Well, if you realize, we all work for a Japanese origin school. Bad thing was that he could not see my mother there. My mom was in Romania for a big conference kinda thing there at that time. He was once very happy that he could see my mother in Japan (before he finds out she wouldn't be there) and also I had visited Japan last April without him because I needed "my mommy" so bad.

I am proud of him. He is a hard worker, kids loving teacher and great person to work with. I just quietly celebrated(?) my 10th year anniversary at Boston Higashi School too. I started working for this school on October 14, 1997. I started in the same division Chris was also in called Early Childhood division, and have been working close together with him since. I am not sure I could make it all these years at work if he was not around. I learned alot from him, at work and in this country. If you were there and remembered, I said at my wedding that Chris was the very first person I saw playing and chasing after students at the field when I first visited Boston Higashi for my job interview. We are preparing ourselves to welcome a little one soon to our family. I will be able to see Chris plays with our child soon. I am very happy and excited.
