Happy Times Are Here Again!

Last week I was driving to one of my schools when the news came on the radio. I listen to Inter FM, which is out of Tokyo. They broadcast both in English and Japanese. This new happened to be in English, so I listened to it. They always do world news first, then domestic. So, Siyoko Kame did her news like she always does. I was driving along when it hit me. She said President Obama! Not, Democratic Candidate Obama, or Democratic Nominee Obama or President Elect Obama. It was President Obama! This was the first time I heard him called that (this was only a day after the inaguration). It made me so happy to hear that.

So far, I have been very happy with Obama. I like how is he reaching out to the Muslim world, all while keeping our relationship with Israel good. I hope he protects Israel. Anyway, happy times are here again!

Fun photos

I forgot what these are called, but they are all over Japan. You can go and take the photo's, then decorate them. Sometimes you can even have them put onto your cell phone to save in there. Emily loves doing them, so we racking up quite the collection. I usually hang them on my wall. Can you guess which one I decorated?

I am so excited!

I am so excited about Obama swearing in as PRESIDENT tomorrow! I think he is going to be a great leader not only for the U.S., but the whole world.

Look at him. He VOLUNTEERED all day. The man who is going to be president tomorrow volunteered the day before. What an inspiration! I know he is definitely someone I look up to. He is my role model. I haven't had a role model for a long time...

Hard Rock Cafe

We went to Hard Rock Cafe in Yokohama. It was nice to have some American food, but the portions were way too big for us! You think the change of diet would show, but for me it really hasn't. Emily has lost about ten pounds though.

Landmark Tower, again!

Ok, I went to Landmark Tower again. But this time I went with a different friend. Also, we rode the big ferris wheel, Cosmo Clock 21 or something. It was cold outside, but fun!
