When Spring arrives in Japan, people move to new towns and begin new careers or start a new school.

To-infinitive

It is the turning of a page and beginning of a new chapter, a new phase in life to embrace.

Past simple

That's so beautiful. That's so beautiful, huh Dude?

When you see the cherry blossoms about to bloom, you know changes are just around the corner.

A beautiful season is starting, and that's the season where it's getting lighter earlier,

You can get out before most people are out and up, and the traffic's not bad at all; you can get around just fine.

And there's beautiful places that are a little further away that I still have never explored and I'm looking forward to doing so.

As the cherry-blossoms start to bloom, Sarah too is heading off for the end of a chapter.

You've been going to school all this week, huh?

And this is your last day of what grade? Second.

What are you looking forward to in 3rd grade?

And buy an actual shelving unit to go over there

That will look good, from there to there, all white, right? Yea, it will.

With bins — I'll buy white bins too. I want all white.

I just helped my sister move, and I want to get organized in case I have to move.

When the Sakura blooms, change is in the air, and now we're adapting the kids room to better fit their phase of life.

I should have known when Ruth said "Let's take a quick trip to IKEA, I know exactly what I'm going to get..."

Sakura usually blooms in Tokyo in late March or early April, but there is only a small window of time when the blooms are just right.

Yokota Airbase has a Sakura festival and this year we're checking it out

only one problem: the cherry blossoms here haven't even started to bloom!

The Sakura's not quite ready yet, but still a lot of fun. Look at this.

So Ruth, we came in and what's the first thing that happened?

Someone said "We like your YouTube channel!" Really?

Tents and booths filled with food and games line the main street.

Everything looked so good that it was hard deciding what to do!

Momma bought her first purchase! Oh my goodness, what did you get?

I've been watching your YouTube channel for years

And I was like I'm going to have to say "hi!"

Thank you, Well thank you! What's your name?

So in May we have another friendship festival, it's way bigger than this.

Ah, well cool! Well if we can, we'd love to come!

The Sakura festival was a surreal mix of Japanese and American culture, and it was a lot of fun.

I just kept thinking how beautiful it would be in another week!

Alright, that was fun, wasn't it? Time to go back to the car.

But that was the Sakura Festival this year

The Sakura was not out yet, but it was still a lot of fun.

And tons of people that knew saw us there. We got pictures. That was a lot of fun meeting a lot of you.

Yes, change is in the air, no matter how windy it might be,

And back at Paz Coffee Shop, we were making preparations for a big change of our own.

Alright we're out to coffee shop, tomorrow is a very exciting day

Paz Church is starting back up —we've had a long break during this semi-quasi emergency that's been going on,

But tomorrow we're getting back together, 10 AM on Sunday at Paz Coffee Shop. Let's do this thing.

OK, we're getting ready for a game of UNO!

Alright. Oh Sarah, yes! Shuffle again so we can see it.

Me? Yea, I was almost going to attack you, Anna.

It is you, put it down! No it's not, it is me.

Because you're already out! You finished, stop bragging!

I've been on a big winning streak ever since the video where we played a big family UNO together.
