About Me

Hi! Thanks for looking at me! I am 30 and I live in the crappy city of Allentown, PA with my soon-to-be husband and best friend, megadem, and my black cat Lily. After more than 9.5 years of happiness, my fiance and I are finally getting married. We are having a relatively small (80 guests) ceremony Oct. 6. My friend from Tokyo is coming to the US for the wedding and she will spend a few days with me. I am feeling a bit stressed from the preparations, but I am also so excited. We are not sure yet where we are going for our honeymoon. Maybe Japan again, but more likely San Francisco during cherry blossom season.
