something new

(taken with hasselblad 500c on fuji pro 400h)

hi.
i'm starting my monday busily.
lots of things were done over the weekend, and still lots of things to be done are left.

my hub and i started our life here about 6 years ago.
before, we used to live in portland, oregon with lots of rain.
before porland, we were in austin, texas with the view of thousands of bulls and cows and vast meadows.
before austin, we were surrounded by a lot of amusement parks in orlando, florida.
before orlando, we were simply japanese in japan.

we've moved a lot.
we sometimes weren't sure where our real home was.
that idea made us feel sad and confused about our own identity.
then now, finally, we are trying to buy our home that we are going to be sure " this is our home".

we looked some houses over the weekend.
we're still deciding, but 70~80% of decision has been already made, i think.
now we're on the step of being confident with buying "that" house.
searching for as many houses as possible, comparing them to the one now we are with, thinking about the remodeling plan to be done, and so on.
lots to be done now.

bit overwhelming but still excited with the new kitchen and dinning.

everytime we moved, i was excited and also struggled mostly with little features each kitchens had.
i was utterly happy with the window in the kitchen.
i loved the white tile counter top.
i never cared about a dish washer because i didn't use that any.
almost all the time i had to experience the hard time with putting all my japanese ceramics, fire kings, pyrex and other old hardware into the limited space of cabinets.
i love them all very much, but sometimes i cursed them as well. ;P

i'm thrilled, bit awkward, already tired and still daydreaming, ..... very busy.


well, hope you all have a good start of the week.
take good care of you, now the season is shifting.
oh, speaking about shifting, my favorite channel has shifted from travel channel to hgtv (home & garden tv) recently. ;)


p.s.
i wanted to tell you this.
these two photos were taken with my hasselblad on the day i got it.
so these are from the very first roll taken with it.
very pure, aren't they?
"new" is already inspiring. :))
