it's not life that matters but the journey...

that's funny - someone else said Leo had gotten bigger, but I didn't realize that.

the house is pretty comfortable, even though we don't have any central hear (or a/c in the summer). I'm going to write a post about the house soon, so I'll describe it then. basically it's three floors, and we stay on the top floor most of the time. we have lots of space. the classroom is on the second floor, and there's another room that's just storage at this point. my in-laws sleep on one half of the second floor in tatami rooms.

the classroom is very comfy - I wish I could get students, but we need to advertise, and Masahiko thinks I should try to find a job outside the house first. I rely on him to advertise - so it's kind of frustrating. if he gets a job, maybe he'll change his mind, but he's worried about money now. It's called Peaks because we liked the design of this pub in Port Angeles called Peaks Pub, and if you think about it, Peaks sounds like Speak. which is fitting for an English conversation school:)
