First Blog!!!!

おたんじょうびおめでとう！！！！
That means Happy Birthday in Japanese!!!
And today is the official birthday of my blog!!

As I am sure you can tell by my name I am a Mormon mommy living in Japan.
I am originally from Calgary Canada but have been living here in Osaka for most of my adult life. I love Japan and I especially love Osaka!!!

My blog will not be about Japan and it will not be about being a Mormon mom. It will be about both of those things and everything else!!!
I may have interesting, boring, happy, sad, strange, funny,angry or silly things to say. I guess it will all depend on what is happening in my life at the moment.

I have a daughter who is 8 years old and in grade 3 at a public elementary school here in Osaka.
Her name is Sakura and she takes ballet.
She is crazy and funny and lovely but I'm sure some post will be venting a bit when she drives me nuts!!

Anyway....I hope you enjoy!!!
