The Motherload

We have been really enjoying our time here in Okinawa.  We have been blessed with great friends and have already made some memories of a lifetime.  Erik has been busy getting qualified to fly without an IP.  Millie has returned back to her normal self and we even were able to take her to the beach this last weekend.  She ran, played with dogs and dipped her toes.  Of course she didn't swim because she's not a lab or anything. 

I also realized that I never mentioned that I got a job!  I am so incredibly excited.  I was told there was no chance that I would get anything my first year...I must have impressed!  So...the school nightmares have begun, (if you are a teacher...then you know)but I am still looking forward to being in the classroom.
Here a bunch of pictures to catch you up on our lives here.  Pictures tell it all! Miss you and please write!

Our House

Well enough with the waiting already.  I know many of you have asked to see pictures of our house...and quite frankly I just could not let that happen.  When you move in to a new place...you are dying to show everyone what it looks like...but the whole making it presentable thing...it just takes a while.  So...here are a few rooms of our house...with the promise of showing you the rest at a later date.  Enjoy!

Our Dining Room...It was bright outside, so it made the picture kind of dark

Our bedroom...or really just our bed

Remember that more and better pictures are to come.  I was just hoping to appease those that were growing impatient;)
