c & m in japan

This was literally the entire point of getting a kitten. #joeyandmochi #cuddles #catanddog #quicktakeapicbeforetheymove

Atop my new ride waiting for our turn #latergram #funemployment

Saw James Taylor last night for the first time in 14 years with my mom. (His was my first concert!) I have definitely changed more than he has in that time -- what a timeless voice. Also in that time, smartphones have replaced lighters 😱 #jamestaylor #vanandelarena #grmi (at Van Andel Arena Grand Rapids, Michigan)

New farm means new horses. Enjoyed my time with this sweet girl today. (at Willowbrooke Farm)

When people ask what I missed about America, it's this 👆🏼👆🏼🍻 #beergarden #micraftbeer #misummer (at Arbor Brewing Company Microbrewery)

Guys, yawns are contagious. #joeyandmochi #obsessed #ineedajob

Everybody needs a kitten for a pillow #joeyandmochi

Mochi and Joey getting acquainted. Trying to teach him not to harass her, but his desire to lick her ears is too strong. #joeyandmochi

We said matane (see you later) last night and there weren't nearly enough pictures, but this was one of them. Standing with Machi, my hilarious and great Japanese teacher. (at HUB 名古屋栄錦通り店)

This is when it hit me. I'll miss my house that became my home. #byejapan #byehouse #sad

Our last mountain hike in Japan :( (at 雨飾山山頂)

Getting in these last important meals #yamachan #山ちゃん #japan (at 世界のやまちゃん　池下店)

Last day at the farm today. Don't tack rooms around the world basically look the same? Trying to avoid teary goodbyes as much as possible. #equestrian #japan #matane #またね (at 愛知県豊田市にある乗馬クラブ　エルミオーレ豊田)

Standing with Noriko先生 at Shirotori Gardens today. Noriko showed us how to hand sew our yukata (summer kimono) and taught us many other Japanese crafts and lessons about culture. She's an integral part of many of our lives here, and she's so fun to be around. I will miss her so much. (at 白鳥庭園)

Spending the day in my yukata (summer kimono) that I hand sewed. Mom, those sewing lessons really came in handy! #japanstagram #yukata (at 白鳥庭園)
