It feels like it has been a long time since I’ve blogged, so I better get back to it. <\/p>\n
Last weekend was a pretty social weekend for us. We were invited by the Yamaji’s to their house for a lunch BBQ with some other guests. The Fukumi’s were there, but also some of Mr. Yamaji’s staff and coworkers. His company is apparently doing well. It was nice to meet everyone, and luckily the weather cooperated and we could sit in the the sunshine outside and enjoy the day. <\/p>\n
In the evening we had the Takeda’s over for dinner. It was the first time that we had seen them since 2009, and they looked happy and healthy. The kids had grown up a lot, and we had fun with them playing Jenga in the living room. The Takeda’s also like to drink wine and eat lots of food, so we got along really well. They are moving into a new place soon, so we’re looking forward to visiting them and checking out their digs in the future. <\/p>\n
This week I’ve got a pretty regular routine at work, with a couple of interviews of new employees and a lesson with the VP. Next week should also be pretty normal, but after that I only work three days before Golden Week starts. We’ve got a pretty wide open schedule during Golden Week, so we’ll probably end up cleaning up our front yard, pulling weeds, and drinking lots of sparkling wine. I’ve got some good books to read, too, so there is a lot to look forward to. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
