happy thanksgiving from japan!

guess who...

is together right now? :)
here's a hint.



we're on a mini vacation and after over 2 months of being apart, it is wonderful to be together! :D

been a while...

since i last posted!
things have been a little crazy around here.

hmmm, let's see. some updates:

*one of the biggest things we found out -- WE GET TO COME HOME FOR CHRISTMAS!!!!! =D so far, everything is working out, and we are excited to see everyone! we have tickets booked and plans made! it is so hard for us to believe we haven't been back to the states for over a year, and not back home since we moved here -- going on 2 years now! crazy.

*things w school are fine. still busy. i have a very active little group of kiddos! haha. but i really like them, and enjoy their energy. i've been trying to upload pictures of our halloween costumes, but i have been having technical difficulties. here is one of all of us, though, that i finally got to work.


*my friend jen is about to have her second little girl... we are awaiting the arrival of amelia any day now!

*my husband is amazing! he just got his air pin - which wasn't an easy task! he is also taking college classes and always amazes me at how well he accomplishes everything even while working 12-14 hour days. and he doesn't complain! he is definitely worn out though, and we are so ready for him to be home. if you think of it we would still love your prayers!

*so that's really all for now. still just here, living day by day, waiting for my hubby to come home to me, and trying to rely on God's faithfulness and goodness.



miss y'all! hope all is well and you are getting ready for holidays w loved ones. we'll be apart on thanksgiving again, but we are looking forward to seeing many of you next month =)
