So I thought I'd post a couple pics from Valentine's Day for you all to enjoy ;). Braden bought me flowers and chocolates XD, and I bought him chocolates too :X. My sister Becca also sent us chocolates and a really pretty card, and a webcam that she got from a friend :D. In Japan on Valentine's Day its traditional for the girls to give chocolates to the guys that they like, and then on White Day (on March 14th) the guys give chocolates to the girls that they like, and of course every girl who gives chocolates to a guy on Valentine's Day hopes to get chocolates in return in March ;). Well Braden and I kind of mixed Japanese and American traditions since we bought eachother chocolates ;P. Not even a week after all the stores put away their Valentine's chocolates they put out all the White Day chocolates. The stores really go all out, with tons of cute and pretty boxes of chocolates on display for everyone to choose from. They go from cutesy and pink to black and elegant. I'm sure the candy companies make bank every year o_0. lol.
The other day we had some friends over for dinner and I made Chilean Cazuela. Yum :).
Our Japanese friends Shuhei and Towa brought the dessert, and they went all out! They brought donuts, pudding, and cake!! I'm glad that my friends like dessert as much as I do! XD.
Yesterday after church Braden and I went to our first official practice for the Warrior's Parade in April. I'm so excited! I get to wear a Kimono and carry a traditional Japanese parasol and swing it around in a little dance :). Braden is going to be dressed as a warrior, with helmet, armor, and even a sword at his side, but he gets to dance with a fan XD. LOL. Its a cool little dance though ;). At the practice we also got to watch the spearmen, riflemen, archers, and many others practice their parade dances. It was tons of fun. When we go to the parade I'll be sure to take lots of pictures for you all.
