.
::: with today marking the one-year anniversary of our arrival in japan, claire and i decided to celebrate with some r&r...reflection and ramen...

.

...here we are at our favorite ramen shop (tarou ramen, kobe)...

.

.

...time flies when you're having fun, the saying goes...

.

...but the same holds true when you're fumbling (language), frustrated (government regulations), or fatigued (emotionally)...through the fun and the other f's, the two constants have been God's faithfulness and your friendship...

.

...this day, as we peel off last year's skin (blog, that is), we're thanking God and we're thanking you for walking with us through our first year in japan
