Five Months Later...

My last post was written on March 12th, from the West Pac Lodge where we were staying until we got our house here in Japan. To say I've been slacking would be an understatement! So much has happened in the last five months we've been here, but somehow I managed to completely forget about this blog. Partially because our computer hard drive had to be replaced and I left my old laptop in the States. But no more excuses, we fixed David's laptop and I got a new one!

What's been happening since we landed here? Well, there's no way I could write about all of it, so I'll just make a list!

• Moved into our house on McT. I don't hate it, I don't love it.
• Bought my car, a Diahtsu Terious, complete with rhinestones on the steering wheel.
• Bought David's car, a Honda SMX.
• Crashed David's car, totalled it, but he's still going to drive it until the JCI is up in a couple years.
• Started new fertility meds and became serious about having a baby in the next year.
• David turned 27!!!!
• Celebrated 7 years of marriage. Seriously. I know. SEVEN years. Where did all that time go?
• David started and completed Sgt's Course with a GPA of 95!
• He also earned his green and brown Marine Corps Martial Arts belts!!
• Made tons of new friends, and love our new Church Branch.
• Went on a mini-vacation to Okuma
• Had 2 super typhoons (Songda and Mufia) and one not so super typhoon.
• David had a trip to Korea planned-but it was cancelled.
• David had a trip to San Antonio planned-but it was cancelled. (See a pattern here?)
• David was told he'll be going to Afghanistan soon.
• We're starting our Temple Prep classes on Thursday to be Sealed!!!

And those are just the major events of the first half of 2011. Maybe (hopefully) from here on out I'll be more diligent about keeping up with the blog.
