New Years Day

New Years Day is a big holiday in Japan, so we celebrate it with lots of yummy food and Family. When I was little I would look forward to New years more than I would Christmas cause I wanted lots of yummy Japanese food.

My holidays have been so amazing! I am really sad to see them go. Scott took the last 2 weeks in December off so he was home with me when I wasn't working! It was so fantastic to sit on the couch and watch tv together and laugh. We went to friends houses and they came to ours and there was so much happiness and fun. I asked Scott when we could retire so we could just be together all day. He just laughed and kissed me and said "soon". I just love my husband. He always has such a positive attitude, despite how his day is going. He has taught me so much about not being depressed for days at a time and being so bitter about everything. He says life is to short to be unhappy, and we can always find something good in our lives everyday. I wish I could just be home with him everyday and that we could travel the world together. Aahhhhhhhhh my day dreams keep me sane when I am at work:)

Anyways, New Years day we went to my parents house and had some yummy yummy sushi and some good food and good company. After we left my parents house we went home and Scott's best friend Jim Bob was there. It was a great day. The next day Scott decided that we should go on a walk behind our house. Well there are like 180 acres of woods back there, so I was a little nervous about getting lost. But when we passed the trees and bushes at the end of our property the world opened up! It was so beautiful!!! There were four wheelers tracks that we followed and we found 2 ponds and found a deer patch and it was so beautiful! I climbed up on a couple deer stands and could see for miles above meadows and pastures and trees. It was breath taking. I never knew that all this was behind my house! Instead of a little walk it ended up being a 2 hour hike. It was the highlight of my holiday. Unfortunately I didn't take my camera with me so I can't post any pictures yet. I will go back there again soon and take picture:)

Here's some pictures of New Years Day
