Ladies and Gentlemen, please forgive my deplorable delinquency in updating. I am in good health, just celebrated my birthday last Saturday, Nov. 1st and my first anniversary with Min, Oct. 31.
Yes, Min and I are still an item. What else should I do with a man who says he is glad to see me everyday, who thanks me everyday for being in his life and who every single day asks me if I am happy? Our sense of humors are an incredible match and he knows every nuance of my face and voice better than I myself.
I constantly shake my head or my eyes are watering when he lets loose with some comment straight out of my most romantic fantasies. The other day in the car he was talking about a particular music that was playing on the md player and he was explaining what music meant to him and how certain notes just went straight to his soul. I was sort of zoning out and smiling at how multifaceted he is when I heard him say "You are like music in my life." I demanded that he stop the car while I boo hooed into my hands (we were about to pick up his ex-wife and son to go to the movies).
He matches and then exceeds my physical affection needs. He makes me laugh and feel so young. He has started cooking dinner for me every night, so I come home to a hot and healthy Japanese meal. He daily probes my spiritual and emotional intellect and he teaches me new things everyday.
So would you be surprised if I said I signed up for another year in Japan? Yeehaahaha!
I have many pictures to post and stories to tell on my next day off (Monday), but in the meantime, I wanted to say hello and to ask that you all hang in there with me as I find my way back to the habit of writing here again.
