It’s funny that I forgot to write about this on my blog. Considering how long I’ve had this site, you’d think I’d remember to do something as simple as letting you all know that I’ve asked the love of my life, Akira, to Marry me. Yes, we’re officially engaged.
You see, last year, I went to this really expensive work party at a local ryokan called “Saito.” A ryokan is a traditional Japanese hotel. Saito was famous for it’s multi course meals and using Maesawa Beef , one of the most expensive and delicious meats in Japan. After I came back from the party, I told Akira about the food, and she instantly wanted to go and try it. I promised her that I would take her at some point, but I wasn’t committal about it. That is, until about three weeks ago.
I asked her if she had and free time during the weekend and I made the plans. She got really exciting about going. What she didn’t know is that I was going to pop the question to her. On Saturday night, after we checked in, we went the baths to freshen up. When she came back to the room, that is what I asked her if she would marry me. I became the luckiest guy in the world when she answered, “Yes.” I think that made the Maesawa steaks just a little more delicious.
So there you have it. Marriage plans are forthcoming. Stay tuned for details, and thanks for reading this blog, depsite the lack of update. I promise you that more is on the way.

Once again, congrats ;)
Holy crap, congratulations, man! So glad to hear that you guys have taken such a big step. :D
Sorry we haven’t talked for a while, by the way (I suck at keeping in touch with people sometimes). Is there anything else in the life of Jason that’s happened over the past however-long-it’s-been I should know about?
Congratulations on your engagement! I bet you are really compatible with each other.(Can I say it in English?) I mean there is a good chemistory between you and Akira. I am so happy for both of you!
Actually I felt very happy when you said to me, ‘Tomoko, finally I found a girl friend. Her name is Akira. She is nice!!’ as soon as you started to have a date with her. Such an anouncement like that from a good friend makes me so happy. Besides your engagement has made me happier.
This is just a foretaste of the wonderful time you will share from now on! Omedeto! Tomoko
Congratulations!
CONGRATULATIONS! :D
