'08 was great!

So I was thinkin about it the other day and a lot happened in 08. Justin and I got married, Christina and Chris got engaged, Chrystal and I graduated college and she got accepted in to Grad School at CSU Fullerton and also got her dream job working at CSUSM as a counselor, Bonnie and Jeff survived their first deployment and also had another baby, Krystal and Anthony got engaged, Justin turned 21 and I moved to Japan. Thats a lot to happen in one year! I hope '09 is just as good =)

Speaking of Japan, there have been some things I have wanted to share about this country. For starters, there are no public trash cans. Not even in the park or at the train stations, I guess thats how they keep their country so clean. Not to mention the day I moved into my apartment I got handed a book on how to seperate my trash. They are very big on that kid of stuff over here. Another interesting fact, there is no soap or paper towels in public bathrooms... yuk! And no toilet seat covers either. In fact, I have noticed that most toilet seats are warm... maybe thats to make up for the lack of seat covers. The trains come about every 5-10 minutes, depending on the time of day, and there are red, black and green trains. The black trains are the local and stop at every stop. The red and green trains are the limited express trains and skip stops, the green train is the fastest and stops at the fewest amount of stops. For example, the green train does not stop at our stop, but both red and black trains do.

Well Justin and I have been very busy lately. We went ice skating the other day, which I will post pics from, and then we are going snowboarding this weekend! I cant wait its going to be so much fun! I only have one more day of work and then Im off until the 8th of Jan. Then I work Jan-March and Im done! I cant believe how fast it has gone by. The other day my Vice Prinicipal was in my office talking to one of the teachers and he told her to tell me not to go back to the states, he said "Only your husband go." Haha trust me I wish we could stay here, but I have to go where the hubby goes! Lol anyways, so tomorrow is Christmas Eve here, Justin has duty and I have to work. He gets off duty Christmas morning and I think we are having a few friends over for breakfast. We will probably do dinner on the base again like we did for Thanksgiving. Alright well here are our pics from ice skating! Ill try and post again soon, I know Ive been slackin. Merry Chrismas and Happy New Year just in case! =)

Slacker!

Sorry Ive been slacking on the posting lately! We have just been so busy, and when we arent busy we are tired from being so busy! Justin is on duty right now, which means I am home alone and figured Id use the time to update. I have so much I want to write about, and a lot of pictures to share, but Im am too tired and lazy to write a complete post so I think Ill just post the pics. Sanae finally gave me the pics from when we went on that trip, and I have pictures from our Thanksgiving meal. :)
