In Honor of Angela



So life has been a tad crazy.  Moving from Japan, sending Jim off to Iraq, and just the usual holiday hustle and bustle almost made me forgot that I had committed myself to writing a weekly blog.  Since Halloween Jim, the kids, and I have been to Okinawa, moved back to the states, celebrated Christmas, went indoor sky diving, the Zoo, swimming pool and caught up on time with the family.  

We had a wonderful time visiting Josh and Ariana Farber down in Okinawa.  We were blessed to spend a little over a week just vacationing.  The highlight of our trip was playing on the most exciting playgrounds we have ever come across.  We also enjoyed the beach, the Ocean expo center that had a huge aquarium!

The Kids and I are very sad to leave Japan.  We have such wonderful friends there.  Sydney and Ethan really loved their Japanese pre-school and their Sensei.  They can both speak a little Japanese.  Their favorite word is Bacca (stupid).  Which isn't really a good thing.  But at least they'll forget it soon since they won't be going to school there anymore.  

Jim and I got a chance to go indoor skydiving for our Christmas present!  It was really fun.  We only got to do it for 2 min. each.  But it was sure fun.  I think it would definitely be something I'd like to do know that I've had a little taste of the thrill.  

Any way...even though Jim is away from us right now, we are having a great time with grandperents and family.  The kids and will be in Utah until at least July.  So please call me if you are in the area.  801-582-1089.  Happy Holidays to all!

Wow, Desi, you guys have had a lot going on. I would love catch up with you! I am coming to Utah in March, so let's plan on getting together! (I'd love to chat anytime before then, too!) Hang in there...I'm sure it's hard to have Jim away. I'll be thinking of you!
