We're going to Japan! I was really worried about making such a big change. But as soon as I told Lucy about it, she hugged me and said, "Nealie, don't worry, Sweetie, maybe it's time for you to open up to this Rising Sun." She's affirmed to me that it won't hinder her work in anyway. She's forever my inspiration, the key to overcoming my greatest fears.

I still haven't told Lucy about Japan.

I've been offered an interview with a computer gaming company. There's a catch. It's in Tokyo, Japan. A tad poetic to be taking Oil Seller to Japan given its namesake. My Teacher recommended me for it and feels I'll learn far more at this position than I would by finishing the program. The company is called Rising Sun Games and they are willing to fly me there. All I have to do is be willing to go. Big decision….It means I will miss the first week of the paving season. What to do?

Lucy loves her Valentine's Day present. Cha-ching!
