• End of an era . . .

  Not that two years really comprises an era. . .

  Since I turned 18, my life has been to some greater or lesser degree, divided into two year segments.

  I spent two years as a college student living on campus.  Two more off-campus.  Two years teaching Jr. High in Texas.  Two years teaching 5th grade in Mansfield.

  Then I came to Japan.  I spent two years here, single, developing a relationship, and discovering a new way of life - that of a foreigner with something to share.  These two years in Japan have been chronicled here on xanga under the blog name of "hopenafuture".

  But now I am planning to spend the next two years here in Japan as a married woman.  My husband and I are starting a home and family together.  We are learning what it is to be one though we are two.  And we started a blog together too, at www.xanga.com/randy_and_tricia 

  And so it will be that my life now will be chronicled, when I do write, or share photos, video, or whatever media I offer, on our site, rather than on my own.

  Over the course of the next month, I plan to subscribe to the same subscriptions on that site as I have here.  I plan to post the same posts on both for a few weeks, then simply post links to my new posts here.  After about a month, and before our Christmas break, I plan to close this site down and use the other exclusively.

  So, if any of you want to continue to get updates on my life - our life - here in Japan, please feel free to head over and subscribe (if you haven't already.)

  Just thought I'd let everyone know.
