I like this outfit in the closet, but I'm not sure I like it so much on me.

If wedding dress shopping is going to be like this, it is going to be a loooong process. >_<

Nikkei settles above 10,000 for the first time in nearly 5 months.

APEC

Learned a lot working on my first international conference at this year's APEC!

Hello

We got cleaned up!

Good Things

Good things come in gigantic packages wrapped in wired ribbon and stacked ten feet high!

This weekend we found a beautiful chapel (at his alma mater) and a boisterous Italian restaurant all in Tokyo. Ceremony, check. Venue, check.

And then we found wedding bands.

And then I got encouraging news from work.

No New York for me this winter--something I was looking forward to--but I can keep myself happily busy with what's on my plate now.

Now we wait to hear from the venue and Priest!

Photo is of room service brunch in Singapore a while back, another good thing!

Address

Anyone have a change in address? Please send me an update because we're making real Christmas cards this year!
YESSSSSS!!!
