quite possibly the BEST decision I have made!!! as it started back in december when I saw ma-chan dressed up all traditional like.. I asked chiharu.. how do I get me some of that??? she referred me to a place.. that closed down.. by the time i rolled..
so then to find out a place in kyoto that did a little something like this.. SO FUN!! but jourdan and jake would have to go at it alone.. as remember tad.. YOU REALLY were sick!!!! so close..
so round three.. thanks to mika/yoga/jourdans research ... they all pointed me towards.. THIS AWESOME STUDIO!!!
which it started out rough.. as scott broke the news to AT what our lawn looked like back home:( i will skip reminding you what the cab ride was like..
but TRUE to form.. of WHY I LOVE THIS CULTURE.. it was HANDS down the experience we NEEDED.. as its been a bit tough.. we are reminded of all the rules.. expectations.. on a day to day bases.. which we can't possibly meet.. just no american/turner way!!!
sometimes.. I have felt like I was going to scream.. I AM TRYING......... this is as GOOD as I can do!!! at that i am struggling!!
but the truth is with anything there are ups and downs.. why did I expect to soar the whole way thru???
everything about this was reminded me of WHY respect this country, its culture... why my love is so deeply rooted....

boys you were PERFECT!!!!! of course tiny space... but the staff was on it.. toys.. interaction galore!!!!!
ozzy you were so tired.. your sweet head was SO heavy!!!!!
truly...why WOULDN'T you like dress up.. i even let you pick out your own attire.. went for the pick!! didn't even care!!!!
AT...... I always find it so interesting to watch to see how long you hold out...... as we walk thru the door.. they start giving instructions.. I am speaking my broken japanese waiting till to see.. about when are you going to pipe up?????
I find my heart skipping a beat when it is busted out;.. a sigh of relief as I watch peoples faces..... of course they are always cool little reaction.... but so weird.. i just feel all protected and SO MUCH easier to move forward when you are there~~~~~
