I am here for Friends

About Me

I'm a work in progress... always learning and living life to the fullest. I recently moved back to Seattle to be with my family and to take in the rain, after 4 years of sunshine in San Diego. I appreciate the important things in life... good friends, good food, good times.... I've come a long way from my hometown of Sagamihara, Japan, and I'm hoping that I can put down roots here in Seattle. I'm just a woman trying to find her way... taking in as much as I can, and trying to give as much as I have been so lucky to receive. I'm so grateful to have the friends that I have, and I look forward to every day as a new beginning and a new chance to enjoy life and everything it has in store for me :)
