January 4 -- This is the year! T.K and I will get married this year! Yolei and Ken came to my or rather our apartment. I could tell that they are very much in love. Yolei said that she and I would start planning the wedding in about another week and I should start calling caterers and getting sample menus. Ken said that he would help T.K find a great tux. He wished us all the best with our planning. I began to question Yolei about their honeymoon. Yolei told me of all the places they had seen and stayed at. Then I asked her about her favourite honeymoon experience. Yolei just winked at me and began to help me pick my wedding colours. Though I think I know what her favourite experience was! I think that I will have ivory and pink as my main wedding colours, but add some yellow roses to the table bouquets.

January 9 -- Today T.K brought me two dozen roses. They're beautiful. He also wrote a poem for me. I think I'll put it here so I don't lose it.

I NO LONGER PINE

I'm no longer lonely on cold winter nights,
I'm no longer cold when wind blows and bites,
I no longer pine to hold you in my arms,
I'm no longer alone for all of life's storms
I have you 'to have and to hold'
I love you more each day,
I'll tell you so if I may be so bold,
I LOVE YOU KARI!
T.K


Isn't he sweet?!?!? I knew he was romatic but that takes the cake, so to speak! I can hardly wait for tonight because T.K's taking me out to dinner and afterwards we're going dancing. I hope he'll always be like this. *sigh* I'm going to get ready because T.K will be here in two hours.
(Later) -- We danced and talked all night, so its not really the nineth anymore but I decided to lump them together. We talked about everything, like how many children we want adn whether or not I'm going to work after we get married. T.K doesn't want me to work but I said that I want to because otherwise I'd go nuts just sitting at home and watching T.V all day. T.K finally relented and said that if I wanted to work then I could find a part-time job and all the money would go toward a house for us. I couldn'tsay no to this logic. *grins* I think I'll only start looking for a job after our wedding.

January 15 -- Yolei, Mimi, Sora and I have been going non-stop to get this wedding ready on time. I have decided on the colours and the menu. I haven't finalilized anything yet. However, I at least have an idea as to what I want. Next week Yolei, Mimi and I are going to go wedding dress shopping. Hopefully I'll find my dress as well as the bridesmaid and maid-of-honour dresses. I'm glad Mimi's coming because she has such excellent fashion sense. Well I have to get ready. T.K and I are going to his father's house for dinner and he apparently has a big announcement to make, so Matt, Mimi, T.K and I are going to see what he has to say.
(Later) -- I don't believe it! T.K's dad hs helped create a program that allows us to e-mail our Digimon in the Digital World! He's still working to improve the program but we are going to be the first to try it. I haven't talked to Gatomon in years, now I'll be able to e-mail her! I'm so excited that I couldn't sleep, even if I tried! We won't get the special computers for another month but I can't wait! I wish T.K were here... maybe T.K can read my mind because I just heard the doorbell.
(Much Later) -- I was right, it was T.K. He couldn't sleep either, so he came over. After he had talked for a long time, we started to kiss. The first kiss was just a peck, but each kiss after that grew deeper and more fiery. I think we would have gotten farther if the phone hadn't rung just then. It was Tai, he and Sora had just heard the news,(I guess Matt told them or something) and he wanted to know all the details. I told him everything I knew through my fuzzy brain (T.K's kisses were still making my head spin). I guess I should go to sleep now because I'm going shopping tomorrow.

January 23 -- Well, Mimi, Yolei and I are in Kyoto trying to find a wedding dress for me as well as my maid-of-honour dress and bridesmaid dresses. We've been looking for two days now and have found nothing. Today we're going to the other end of Kyoto to look there, hopefully we'll find something. Even a bridesmaid dress or something.
(Later) -- Success! WE found a great wedding dress for me adn the bridesmaid dresses. That just leaves the maid-of-honour dress, but since Sora isn't here we can't get it anyway. Yolei and Mimi are thrilled with their bridesmaid dresses and I love my dress. Its white with gauzy sleeves, they're bell-shaped starting at the wrist and the bodice is tightly fitted and it has a high waist. The skirt is also a gauzy material and has a fairly long train. The bodice also has a shiny-sequiny look that works great with the light gloves that go with the dress. My veil is still a mystery because we haven't found it yet. Hopefully tomorrow...I'm going to call T.K now. I miss him so much!

January 29 -- Well, we're back inTokyo. I'm glad because I missed T.K so much! :) Only four more months until I'm T.K's wife! Time seems to drag by. Not much is happening, T.K and I don't want to spend too much time apart, so we're going out tonight, hopefully someplace nice. Then again with T.K everywhere is nice and special.

February 1 -- It feels like June is never going to come. Maybe I should tell T.K, I want us to get married February 12th instead of June 12th. He would love that, but we have everything set for June 12th. Oh well, I'll just have to wait. I'm so glad that we are getting our special e-mail computers this month, maybe Gatomon can help me pass the time. Hopefully T.K's dad will have video imaging ready for our wedding so that the digimon can see us get married. I hope that Sora won't be in the hospital having her baby on our wedding day. I want her to be my maid-of-honour, but Jun, Davis's sisteris my back-up. Too bad Davistold her I needed a back-up maid-of-honour and that I didn't ask Mimi sooner. Oh well, I guess I'll have to make the best of it. The phone's ringing so I should go answer it.
(Later) -- The phone call was from Davis, he said that Jun had been in an accident. Her car got a flat tire and as she was trying to fix it the jack slipped and fell on her foot, so now she's in the hospital. Oh the irony...now Mimi can be my maid-of-honour if Sora's in the hospital, crossing my fingers that she won't be.

February 6 --Tomorrow is Jun's surgery. I hope it goes well for Davis's sake. T.K's taking me to Ginza tonight for dinner, dancing and maybe I can talk him into some shopping. I wonder where we're going for dinner. I guess since we're going to Ginza it'll be fancy. I better go get ready
(Later) -- I had such a great time tonight. But T.K did put one damper on the evening when he told me he needed to go to Kyoto on a three week business trip and he'll be gone over Valentine's Day. I offered to go with him but he said that it would be best if I stayed here to keep planning the wedding. I guess he's right, the wedding won't plan itself. T.K leaves on the tenth so going to do Friday and Saturday up big. I'll be counting the days until he returns and that won't be until the third of March. I wish I could go with him.

February 8 --T.K is picking me up soon but I had to write down what happened yesterday. Jun had her surgery, the doctors are very optimistic that her foot will heal properly. However she has to remain in the hospital until the end of April and even then she'll be in physotheorpy until at least July. Just my luck, now Mimi can be my back-up maid-of-honour.

Author's Note: Ginza is a shopping district in Tokyo. And for all Jun fans, she doesn't die or anything, though this will be her last appearance in the story as far as I know. My guess is that she falls in love with an intern at the hospital or something. 1. Kari's Diary chapter 1 2. Kari's Diary chapter 2 3. Kari's Diary chapter 3 4. Kari's Diary chapter 4
