Since I don't have anyone to comment on my entries any more, I am not nearly as motivated to continue writing here.  But I will try to keep up with it on a fairly regular basis.  Today was my birthday.  I turned 28.  Why do I have to get so old?  At least I got to eat 4 pieces of cake (not all at the same time though) and got to talk to my parents for awhile.  I think I may be falling in love for real for the first time in my adult life.  No, not with cake.  I mean with the Japanese girl that I met on the internet a few months ago.  Of course we won't know for sure until we meet in person, but things seem to be going very well, and God has really blessed me with the chance to get to know such a special woman.
