My second birthday party

I was going to meet up with a few teachers today at a teacher's house. It will be the first time that I will go to their house so I am excited. I was doing a lot of cleaning during the day and I was working on finishing up all the new year cards. I got a good chunk of them finished so that I could send them off today when I leave the house. I was very scattered with cleaning and getting things ready for tomorrow. With my mom coming to Japan, it's a bit stressful so I wanted to make everything good for when they arrive.

I left the house a little late to arrive at Omori station by 4:30pm. I missed the first bus that I wanted to take and then I missed some trains as a result of that. Overall, I was about 30 minutes late to arrive at Omori station, which is very uncharacteristic of me. It's very uncharacteristic of me when I meet up with these two teachers. It was Christmas today too. I wished a few people a Merry Christmas today. I wished that I had more time so that I could get to everyone, but some how I couldn't while I was getting everything ready.

When I arrived at the station, I couldn't find them. But after a minute of searching I located them. Then we jumped on the bus for a 10 minute ride. When we first arrived we were served with appetizers. They were really good.

Dinner was nice too. There was a lot of food from chicken, to roast beef, to salad, to sausages, cake, donuts, fried rice, cookies, and other various snacks. It was quite a great meal all prepared by a co-worker of mine. It was really nice of her to host my birthday party and a miniature Christmas party.
