Today, January 16th, 2016, marks 9 years...

...since I arrived in Japan.

I left Ohio on January 15th, 2007 and arrived in Gifu on January 16th.

I'm gonna try to start one of those photo-a-day challenges today after work to document my 9th year in Japan. I'll post the link once I have a few days of photos up.

Holy s**t, it's been 9 years? Christ I remember when you were still in the states and were sad about moving because it meant being so far away from Mario.

Yup! It will be 8 years since Mario came to Japan on April 10th, and our 8th wedding anniversary is on June 6th. Odin and Freya are turning 7 on March 17th.

Time ******** flies, doesn't it?

I know, right? I can't believe I've been here almost a decade! We'll be going home for a week or so in July for my cousin's wedding, but outside of that, I've only been home twice since moving here.
