My sister Melissa is pregnant! In 9 months, my parents first grandchild will be born and I will be an uncle. Neato! On other news, the doctor told me I was a pansy and I should get better soon. This cold has been particularly nasty.

As I could have predicted, Eriko is not quite ready. ;P Nontheless, as I told her, my arms are open. She may join me whenever she is most comfortable. Heck, if I could complete my degree or find a good job in Nihon, I would move in a heartbeat.

Eriko wants to quit her job and come stay with me. She thinks she’ll come over in June.. How intriguing!

I was living in Tacoma with Tae, whose birthday was yesterday. I was in frequent communication with Eriko, having met her in February and anticipating her May visit. Friendly chat turned serious when I decided to ask her to marry me. She said yes. ;P

Went to a club; need a head rub

The first assignment was involved and I’m sure the second will be even more. But I am enjoying myself. My room and desk is still not perfect but I hope to get some serious organization in next week during my awesome company gifted vacation. I miss my sweet Eriko.
