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 currently in the process of moving to Japan.

Cassie’s Journey with God
This is a blog post that I have been hesitating to write for some time. I have felt a specific call in the midst of our specific call (moving to Japan) to share my struggles. I have been trying to be diligent in obeying that call, but only in person, and only when prompted.

Same City, New Hotel
We haven’t had nearly as eventful a time as our friends and family back in Florida, but we do have a few updates!

Slow couple of days
As predicted, it has been more chill since Shaz and Dad left – though a little more chill than we were expecting, since I caught a cold. (And now that I’m feeling better, Cassie seems to have caught it from me. Of course.
