Finally settled!!

So the moving process was long and painful but I am happy to say that it is finally over!!! I love our new place with a passion although I am sad to say that there still isn`t enough space for all my clothes AND the huge shoe cabinet just about houses all my shoes! We had a housewarming party last week which was alot of fun because Jenn came to help with the preaparation, I think that was probably the highlight of the day for me! Most of my friends couldn`t make it that night for one reason or another so i was glad Jenn and my friend Hisano were there or it would have been REALLY boring! ;-) Joey is doing so well. He has grown so much and is able to roll around and scoot around in circles so it is really funny as I find him in total random positions under bits of furniture etc...

He also cut his first tooth on friday so he really is growing up fast! I am looking into starting solids as he is starting to show and interest in food but I am hoping to be able to put it off until he is 6 months (not long now) but we shall see!

Today we went to Amu Plaza to get a present for Hisano as it is her birthday and while we were sitting outside starbucks I spotted two different foreign women, both with their Japanese husband/ boyfriends and kids. I really wanted to go running over and say "hey" but I always worry I am going to get the "why are you talking to me you freak?" fellow foreigner freeze-out that is kind of common here in Kagoshima. Had they been closer, I probably would have said hi but I felt weird going racing over to them. That said, I always regret it afterwards as I am always complaining that I never meet any new people and this would probably be why!!! If you are ever in Kagoshima and ever spot me, please say hello!!
