Well everyone...I've decided to go through with it. I've talked to my parents and even to Jomei a little bit and I've decided to give it a chance. I still could change my mind and drop out of it if I suddenly end up having a epiphany and realize that this whole marriage thing isn't for me..but I might not either. I don't think I'll change my mind now but who knows? Anything can happen. For now though...I'm doing it.

As for Adam...well I got wind from Kenny and Chris that he was seen dating someone new and appears to be totally over me. I'm not gunna sweat it anymore. If he had really cared about me the way I thought did then he wouldn't be dating some other girl.

So yah I'm making plans! I've decided that I want to stay at college as long as I can so I'm staying here until Christmas. Then I'll come home and spend time with my family and friends.

So now I'm making plans. After Christmas around the middle of March I'll fly to Tokyo and spend a few days with my family in Japan. Then I'll get on another plane and fly to Miyazaki City where Jomei is. I'll spend the entire month of April (and my birthday ) getting to know Jomei and Miyazaki City and during that time Jomei and I will finish anything else we need to get done.

Jomei and I have been talking and we've decided that we'd like to get married about May-ish. We arn't sure if we want a traditional Japanese wedding or a modern Christian one. Our families said that they'd approve with whatever we decided. I'm starting to plan some stuff already. Baa-Chan (my grandmother) wants to make me a wedding kimono or a wedding dress but I have no idea what the design should be...hey I have an idea! How about a little contest? Draw a picture of me, or Mary...or your character (I'm not picky--it just has to be female) in a wedding kimono or wedding dress. The design I like best I send to my Baa-Chan!

This "contest" currently doesn't have a due date but you should try to do it nonetheless! It might be fun!

Rules: (because I gotta have them if it's a contest )
1. Has to be a Wedding Kimono or a Wedding Dress
2. You have to draw Me, Mary or your character in the Kimono or Dress
3. Other characters may be included but they have to be dressed up for a wedding.
4. Color must be included if it's a Kimono (I don't like the white ones like this: [link])
