Please excuse my crazy grammar and spelling. I just reread everything for the first time and think I'm crazy. For some of the posts I was using my iPhone and it has auto correct.
Anyways, thing are coming along great here. Our furniture should be shipped from Kenosha, WI on the 3rd of May. We should be receiving it no later than 6th of July. Just want to send a big shout out to Great Lakes Personal Property, thanks for messing up 3 different things with our move. I love not living with my stuff! Moving on, Zach has been working on the ship, so the boys and I are trying to keep busy. He's going to start going underway soon, so we won't see him as much. I was told when we got here, not to expect them during the summer months. So I'm going to plan a vacation for next summer for the boys and I. Thinking of heading "down south" to Kyoto, Hiroshima and some other places. So far, those are 2 of the 4 things to check off on my "MUST DO IN JAPAN" list. Riding the bullet train (which I will do on that trip) and hiking Mt Fuji are also on the list.
Now that we have a car, things are better. I can go to the commissary and/or Exchange whenever I want. Exploring isn't so bad either. I'm making new friends and loving where we live so far. We're far enough away from the main base that we don't have all the noise, yet close enough that it's a 10-15 minute drive. Speaking of driving, let me just say it's not as hard as my instructors were making it out to be. I just have to remind myself to look right when merging. I automatically want to look left.
Jack is signed up for kindergarden! I can't believe that he'll be starting in the fall. The woman who signed him up commented on how smart both the boys were. Had a proud Mama moment. However, they have been acting out more than ever lately. It's very frustrating for me, because I know how good they really can be. I'm hoping that once things settle down, I'll get my two sweet boys back.
We didn't get to go play in Zushi last Sunday like I planned, Zach got called into work. So I'm thinking I might have to go exploring by myself. Although it will depend on the weather. It has rained almost everyday since we've been here. I think 2 or 3 days with no rain. And it's a bit chilly, but after my sweltering winter in Florida, I'll take it!
I plan on getting out and doing some exploring in the next couple of days. Maybe take the boys and introduce them to my friend, sweet potato ice cream. I know I was making plans to head back to Kamakura sometime soon. I want some more Japanese pancakes. Ramen isn't too shabby either. I have yet to try some sushi here. Maybe that will be my adventure this week.
As I was just finishing up I heard a noise in the kitchen and thought Luke was up. When I looked around the corner, the screen door was open and I saw a cat run around the corner! Scared me! We left our screen doors open for some airflow. It's a bit chilly outside, in the 50s, but it feels great.
