I think it is looking excellent. Congratulations to your daughter, hope her high school career and living with Grandma and Grandpa is all and more than she has imagined. Within a couple of years, will both girls be living in Canada? And just out of curiousity, you don't have to answer and can tell me to shut up, do they have dual citizenship so your college costs are a little cheaper??
I know I have slept since you got the sawstop, but from what I could see, that bench idea is something I have kicked around and couldn't figure out, do you have a specific thread or you tube video on your build of it???
Thanks Jonathan!
Yeah, Erika is getting really excited, a big step in her life.
Our younger daughter may go one year earlier, Erika is finishing up junior high school, but most likely Mizuki will do her third year of junior high in Canada, she will get a better jump on things, and she won't have to go through a tough year, 3rd year of junior high school like Erika did. You see, here in Japan, the last year of Jr High, you study your brains out to get into a good Sr High school, the pressure is substantial. Erika did not have to do that, as she is going to Canada for Sr High, but the resentment, and outright hostility that she got from classmates really stunned us. Basically this last six months, no one will talk to her at school, except the teachers, NO ONE, not even her friends that she has known from grade 1
We hope to avoid that with Mizuki.
The girls both have dual citizenship, at the age o 22, the Japanese government makes them choose. I think 22 is way too young, if you do the whole university thing, then at 22, you will most likely have just finished your undergraduate degree, you won't have a job, or if you do, you will not have worked it long, so deciding at that age which to choose will not be easy, thankfully that will not be a choice I'll have to make

It has worked out OK, but look for a change down the road......
