I NEED A JOB...

I had to post this picture of my cousin's baby. His name is Spencer and he is the cutest kid ever. For Halloween he was Charlie Brown...doesn't he look just like Charlie Brown? It makes me smile. In other news, I am looking fervently for a job. It's a little stressful trying to find a job. Especially when I just purchased my first car all by myself. I'm totally relying on God right now...He is faithful. And I'm missing Japan...sniff, sniff.

Katie NOT in Japan

Now that the holidays are over, the reality is setting in that I've actually left Japan. I feel like I've gotten so weird the past two years and feel the need to explain to everyone that I've been out of the country for the past two years. I couldn't figure out how to give the cashier at Walgreens $7.58, and I desperately wanted to go into detail about why I was a little slow at US currency. At church Sunday, I bowed at people...totally felt like a dork. I've been flashing the mandatory "peace sign" in every picture taken. And I've been busting out with the most random Japanese words...gaijin, sumimasen, chotto, mecha, etto. But today I discovered that the Kroger down the street sells Koala no machi, a delicious Japanese snack. I was ecstatic. Still haven't found edamame, but I hear I can find it in Franklin.

This picture was taken at the airport the day I left Japan. I'm definitely suffering from Japan Withdrawal.
