2 years--can you believe it?!

That's right. I started my blog 2 years ago today. Granted I haven't been too diligent at writing in it lately, I have written at least once a month. That's gotta count for something.

I can't make this stuff up...

Maureen: How old do you think those guys are? The one in the red shirt? He's kind of cute.

Jenn: Umm, those are my old students. I think they're san-nensei (9th grade).*

Yurinokidai Halloween 2006

We had our 2nd annual Halloween party in our courtyard this year. We had a blast.

We looked good.


We played 'Pin the wart on the Witch'.


We played 'Musical Pumpkins'.


We had snacks.


We took a group picture. (Notice me in the front laughing with Ryo. I LOVE that kid!)


Me with my cute neighbor who waves and says Konnichiwa to me


Me with the Ito family--Yoko, Kai, and Ryo


Me and yet another adorable kid


Random kid climbing on our fence


And what night would be complete without me taking a picture of myself...

I love my job.

Once a month all the English teachers get together for training. Last month we watched a movie to improve our English listening skills. (Obviously the training is really for the Japanese people, but we still have to go.)



What I learned in training:
1. I'd like to visit that chocolate factory someday.
2. All the chocolate in the world can't give you what you really need: Love from your family.
And most important:
3. Johnny Depp is hotter as Crybaby than as Willy Wonka.

Need proof?

Chiba Lotte Marines

Yep yep--go Chiba!
Ok, so I haven't written in awhile, but I'm going to try and catch up...here we go.
I went to a baseball game with some friends in September (yes, I know...I should have posted these already). Anyway, here are some pictures from the trip.



The Japanese are really into baseball!
