Busy Busy

This past week has flown by for me! I went to my hometown on Wednesday to visit with my grandmother and family. My Mom and Nana helped me with my sewing machine and I finished the bag that I was trying to make. They even helped me get an easy skirt pattern to try. We found fabric in the $1 bin and so I got two different kinds for two different skirts. I made a long skirt and shorter skirt with them. Today I have to sew on the top snap for both of them and the one still needs to be hemmed before I am allowed to even think about buying another pattern and fabric!

My hubby had a brain storm the other day that while we are on vacation my friend is going to feed the rabbits, but watering my garden is a little much. So, he thought that putting in a sprinkler system was a great idea. I misunderstood the first time he explained it to me.... he wanted to put in the kind of system that is underground and on a timer and then the heads pop up to water the lawn and flowers. Once I got that, I vetoed it. NO DIGGING UP THE YARD ( well, not until that bathroom project is done.....) So he went ahead and put one in anyway. He was smart about it though, he used hoses so that it is only in the garden and watering only my flowers. This idea I like!

Now we are thinking about our trip. We now have all our flights and hotels. There are many things that we want to see, the problem is time. We never have enough time. However, this trip we will have a few days in Tokyo on our own. I asked Hubby what he wants to see, but he is letting me think about what is good. When I was a junior in college I did a home stay in Tokyo to go to Japanese school and to learn about the culture from this family I stayed with. They did take me a few cool places but staying with them was hard. My host sister came to visit me after I went home and I did everything I could to make her happy. Then she came to be an exchange student at my college. After that I haven't talked with her. It was very hard and I don't think we will see them when we are in Tokyo. However, I learned a lot of the trains there and the cool places that I went are where I am thinking to take my husband now. We will be meeting some friends of mine for dinner and lunch. Then we get to fly to Hokkaido!!!!

I am most excited about the stay in Hokkaido! We get to see my friends, have fun, EAT, and go to her wedding!!!

Speaking of weddings, tomorrow is our 5 year anniversary. Yeah! Everyone keeps asking us how we are going to celebrate.... we are going to Japan! ^_^ Here's us five years ago:
