Marvelous Weekend!!!

When I heard that I couldn't go to Portland trip, I was really shocked and embarrassed, but I spend delightful time with Yuka, Anikke, and Christopher's family. It's one of the happiest memories for me, and I appreciate them so much. If I had been alone in the house, I must have sunk in sorrow.

Anikke picked us up on Friday morning, and we went shopping. The store we went to was very charming. One of the specific reason I like the shop was pretty decorations. Fashionable Christmas made me excited. I feel happy whenever I see Christmas decorations in the stores, towns, and streets. I think Christmas gives a lot of children dreams, and I was also given dreams when I was a child, so Christmas is the most favorable event for me in a year. I found some Japanese snacks in the store, and I felt as if I were in Japan. I especially missed Japanese snacks, cookies, and candies. After that, happily, Anikke chose a nice movie, Christmas Carol, and it was very exciting. It was snowy outside, so it was the most suitable climate! I think Christmas and snow are a good match. It was 3D movie, and character sprang out suddenly; I thought it was more powerful than ordinary movies. It was not easy to understand for me because English was so fast!!! I think I need to practice listening;-) Anyway, I enjoyed watching movies.

After we depart from Anikke, we went to Christopher's house. I was very happy because we were warmly welcomed. I was nervous when I saw them, but his daughters spoke to us, thus I could be relax. After we reached to his house, we went to his parents' house. It was graceful and splendid. We had dinner together, and it was very delicious! I enjoyed talking about in the future, school, and so on. I felt his family is genial and kind, and it's my ideal family. After I went back to his house, Yuka and I talked to his family. I could have good conversation with them, and at night, the conversation with his daughters grew more lively; therefore we overslept. The next day, we got up around 10 o'clock, and we went shopping with his daughters. I bought body creams and a teddy bear. I thought these body creams were suitable for souvenir! I like fragrance, so I'm collecting perfumes. I bought a teddy bear for the reason that I live in my room alone, and I sometimes feel sad and lonely. I was so happy because I could buy my favorite things. After shopping, Christopher, Yuka and I went to symphony. I heard beautiful sound, and I was very comfortable. The players were absolutely glorious. I like to play music, so it was very fantastic time. I felt as if I were in my dream! Thank you for special weekend!
