The last several days have been the best. I can't believe that it's already halfway through the break and my boyfriend's visit–time hase gone by so fast, but it has been an amazingly fun time. And still more to come.

Friday (last week), we woke up to beautiful snowfall. The flakes were large and fluffy, they stuck to the trees and windows some. Exactly what a winter wonderland would look like. Unfortunately most of it has melted once again. It only lasted a few days. But it was beautiful to watch fall.

This past weekend was my brother's birthday weekend so we all went for bowling and played three games total. The next day everyone was sore in one spot or another from throwing the 10-15 pound bowls down the lane. We were split into two teams, one team per lane, and played against each other. My two brothers and dad were on one team; and my mom, uncle, boyfriend and I were on the other. It was going to end in a tie so we had to play again and my boyfriend pulled out a win for our team. We laughed and had a great time celebrating my brother's birthday. Then we came home, and together all made pizza with cake and coffee or tea time.

Yesterday it got a little warmer (around 2-3°C) so we decided to go outside and enjoy the sunshine a little. The wind was cold but we made do, and play circle soccer. And then, when dad came home from work, we grabbed the tennis rackets from his car and drove to a nearby park for tennis matches. We played two vs. two, and then before coming home to warm out cold hands, we played singles for a little while. 

Of course, the next day we all slept in.

It has so far been a great break, one of the best if not the best, and there is still more time and more fun things ahead. Must stay in the present and enjoy all the incredible times past, present and future.

じゃあね！
