This is a tiny cake Cassie got me for Valentine’s Day. That’s right – she got it for me. In Japan, Valentine’s Day is a day when women give men chocolate – usually in the form of some sort of baked good. Men give women chocolate on White Day, March 14.

Who We Are
We’re Teddy and Cassie McCormick.
We’re currently in the process of moving to Japan.
We’re pretty cool in general.
Food Pics
Some of our friends suggested a part of the blog just for pictures of food we’ve eaten – this is going to be that section! Japan has a ton of fantastic food that’s as fun to look at as it is delicious, and this seems like a fun way to share it with our friends!

Kidney Stones Are Bad
So I had a fun Mother’s Day.

Playing Things By Ear
The funeral stuff was a lot; Cassie may do a post getting into the specifics more later, but I’m not going to pressure her to do it if she doesn’t feel up to it. But it’s over now, so things are settling down to… well, not normal, but that’s mostly because normal isn’t a thing […]

Back in Virginia
Boy, we knew Los Angeles was having a bit of a cool spell, but we didn’t expect Virginia to be this much hotter. Still, it’s nice to be back with family, even if it is for a funeral.

Time in Los Angeles, and a new posting philosophy
So I’ve realized that part of why I’ve been posting less has been that I view fewer of the things in my life as eventful or noteworthy. Problem is, I made this blog so people can see what I’m up to, not just see the most interesting things I do.

Korea and Los Angeles
We’re back in the USA! After a brief visit to Korea to see some friends there, we took the 13-odd hour flight to Los Angeles and we’re now here, safe and sound and getting over some tremendous jet lag.

Big News
Okay, so our departure from Japan was a bit of a whirlwind. But the good kind! I don’t want to bury the lede, so let me open by saying: we have a path to a visa!

We’re not going to Vietnam
Whoops lol. So turns out getting Vietnam visas takes longer than we thought. Luckily it’s an easy pivot to do South Korea again – we were already going to be there for an overnight layover, so we’ve got a hotel our first night and we’ll actually be on the same flight!

Ohana Mama
It’s been sad saying goodbye to all of our friends here, especially since we don’t want to leave and don’t know when we’ll be coming back. But the sadness is also wonderful, because it’s only so sad thanks to how many close friendships we’ve made!

We’re going to Vietnam
The short version is our visas are running out soon – March 19th – and we have no real leads on how to extend them. The longer version isn’t much longer.

Teddy’s Birthday!
Wow! Look! Two posts without a month in between! Crazy! But don’t be too proud of me, because this post is still a month overdue…
