Happy New Year to all from America! 
I hope everyone in Japan and America are doing great! 
I started blogging in 2018 here on Ameba. 
I enjoy doing it, and hope that I can offer my readers something in return for your time reading! 
I thought I would summarize the year in pictures, as they speak 1,000 words.
First and foremost are my two boys! They are the light of my life! 
My eldest son Sho had poor health in the Oct, Nov and Dec, and is still struggling to get back to health. It has been hard for him.
But when he is in his fursuit Rogue (in Red), he lights up and gets really happy.
This is us in our cosplays and fursuits! 
Then me; started a new job this year at Comcast making great money, and I love working there immensely 
Our lives are filled with cats! We have 3, and love them like family. 
I drove between Virginia and Pennsylvania many times this year as my son became an intern at Monster Cat Creations! I got some pictures, it is a very scenic drive. 
I got to spend lots of time at Monster Cat Creations making new friends and helping their business with 3D printing. 
I'm so very proud of the work he is doing!! 
I played lots anld lots of YuGiOh with my son Tokoyami! 
Tokoyami made many games this year, including some board games! 
I made dinner and lattes for my friends many times 
I studied my family history via a very old document about my famliy. 
I fell in love again with my Waifu; Rin Tohsaka of Fate! 
I built a new mobile computer cart for my house.. 
One of my favorite artists, Shizuka Mikodou, completed a commission for me!

And I owe so much to my beloved mother, who has stood by our family through everything.
I love you mom!!
There were many many other things, and other pictures I took and posted in my blog since July. 
I am very grateful to Ameba for allowing me to share my life here. 
I hope to contribute and pay back this kindness in some way.
Most of all I hope that I can give my boys a good life and fullfill their dreams.
For me, I hope to find a soul-mate here or in Japan, and move to Japan with her some day. 
For you all, thank you for reading!!! 
Happy New Year, I wish you great success in the new year in Japan!! 
Warmy Regards, 
Kristopher
