Aug. 26th?

So I guess the last time I did a post was Aug. 26th? Where has the time gone? Yikes .. so much to blog!


I was shopping off base today and paid with Yen and said Arrigato (sp?) To the lady at the register. I walked out and thought to myself how lucky I am. How blessed I have been raised with a versatile personality. Some comes from experience, but alot comes from a stable home that I could cultivate a good self esteem in a safe envirement.

Some times .. when I stay on base all day, I forget I live in a foreign country. I forget that I know absolutly NO Japanese and how much I need to learn the phrases (excuse us, and sorry) .. seems like I say that all the time and I am sure the Japanese people are wondering why I am so rude.

Although most times things off base are more expensive, I have found a couple stores that have good deals. Carmen and I found some little girl clothes for 299 yen (little over 3 bucks). That made me so excited since the BX is trying to be trendy and has a scam going with only offering expensive name brands.

I have found my favorite hardware stores, and if I could find a good office supply store I would be in complete heaven (but that is just my addiction talking)

I love it here and my kids are having so much fun.
I hope to blog more, and let you all know the awesome stuff we are up to.
