My friend Hisano recorded her first album this year. It was released Nov. 2nd!!
I have been dying to hear it, since I haven’t been there to hear all her new songs at the live performances. You can imagine my excitement when it arrived in the mail yesterday. Now double that excitement level and you will be able to imagine me as I realized she wrote a song about us! The song is great, it talks about how we didn’t have a lot of time together, but that the connection that was made was strong. She says that she knows that we will forever be the best of friends, even though I moved so far away. The memories will never be forgotten and that she will always be wishing for happiness for me and all the people I love. There’s more, but that is the jist of it. Awesome, huh? She even had the song’s lyrics written mostly in hiragana so that I’d be able to read them. Included are the few kanji that she knows I know. So COOL!!!! She also put ‘Emily and David’ under the special thanks section. I can’t believe there’s actually a song that goes with my experience in Okinawa! I truly miss her and every other friend I met in Okinawa. I hope I get to see them all again soon! Hisano-san, Arigatou Gozaimasu!

Crazy for You

This past weekend I went to my cousin Tara’s play up in PA. She had the lead role as Polly. It was an absolutely perfect role for her. She did an awesome job and I can’t wait to go see the next play! We are so cute, don't you think??!!
いとこの　しばいを見に　行きました！タラちゃんは　すごかった!　しゅやくをいんじました！上手な　じょゆう　ですよ。

ハイキングの時に

Yellowstone National Park

Grand Teton National Park

After spending the weekend in Boise for Kate’s wedding, Dave and I took a 6 hour drive east to see Yellowstone National Park and the Grand Teton National Park. From the moment we entered the park we saw tons of animals. We did about 15 miles worth of hiking over the few days we were there. In the first 5 minutes of the first hike we saw a coyote! The steaming geysers were so neat looking at sunset. We were even able to see Old Faithful erupt just as the sun was going down one evening. The scenery was amazing as the leaves on the aspens were changing to a bright yellow and snow was covering the peaks of the Grand Tetons. We were able to see lots of different animals on our trip to include:

elk, bald eagle, bison, chipmunk, red squirrel, coyote, mule deer, deer, grizzly bear & her cubs, moose(male,female and baby), and pronghorns.

けっこんしきの　あと　アメリカの　有名な　こうえんに　車で　行きました。ハイキングをしまして　たくさん　やせいどうぶつを　見えました！こわかった！　そして、活火山の　ところに　行きました。蒸気を出しました！すごい　ところ　でした！！こうえんの　ふうけいが　きれい　だったね！信じられない！

次な　日に　ケィトさんと　しゃしんを　とりました!　にてる　でしょう?

A few weeks ago Dave and I took a trip to Idaho to attend my cousin Kate’s wedding in Boise. It was great to hang out with my cousins, aunts and uncles. Because we all live so far apart, it’s rare that we get the chance to see each other. I can’t wait for the next family get-together!
３週の前に　Ｄａｖｉｄと　Ｉｄａｈｏに　いとこ「ケィトさん」の　けっこんしきを　見に　行きました。　いとこと　おばさんと　おじさんと　会えました！　あまり　この　かぞくを　会えませんね。　みんなさんは　私のちかくに　すみません。パパの　かぞくはMaryland, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Minnesota, North Carolina, New York City, Pennsylvania, Idahoに　すんでいますね。遠いですね。けっこんしきは　とても　楽しかった！　かぞくと　飲みすぎましたね。毎日　ふつかよいね。
