i miss xanga.. and blogging.. and back in the days before myspace when all my friends would yell at eachother when they didnt update..
no one blogs on myspace. its just pictures and quizzes. i want more then that.
i guess wether people will read these things or not, i miss writing and im bringing it back. obviously starting here and maybe moving on to a new blogging community.
life in japan is great. the fact that my husband gets to be home with us all the time instead of on a ship is even greater then the fact that were living comfortably overseas right on the beach.
that is definetly amazing though..
the base here is great and has everything americanized as you can imagine. its like the base in SD, but way wayyy better.
we've got a ganster little mazda out here. even though we miss our car thats patiently waiting back in the states for us, its pretty nice filling up your tank for 16 bucks.
small little beater cars are love when being stationed overseas.<3 lol.
we havnt done a ton of traveling, but we did go to the most important, the tokyo game show. :)
weve got 2 appointments lined up for this monday and next monday for the kids at the CDC so hubby and i can go travel out on our own.
first day: akihabara [shoppingshoppinshopping! electronics capital of the world<3]
second day: tokyo tower! [im thinkin this will be more of a romantic day out with lots to see and pictures to take :]
speaking of us, we're stronger then ever and get along great. i know people say that marriage takes work, but right now its pretty much the easiest thing ever.<3
my kids are amazing. i cant even describe or put in to words how smart, hilarious and sweet they are.
theres just so much they do that can make you fall in love over and over again. its so amazing that it hurts!
this month theyre starting their first classes. tayla will start ballet this friday that will be once a week and for 3-4 year olds only.
then they have PT for tots which will be mostly for jayden since tay has ballet and hes too young for sports, but both can go. its 2 days a week for kids under 3. its just a little class where they move and dance around with other kids.
i miss my family and my friends and they all know it. i have and always have had lots of friends, but theres only three that i know will be there forever and that doesnt make me sad at all. :]
and me saying i miss my daddy and brother would be the hugest understatment of the year.. and the year JUST started.
speaking of the new year, ive always thought it was overrated and that its just an excuse for people to drink, i do have some resolutions for the first time this year..
1. excersise and tone up.
2. be more patient with the kids. theyre only kids.
3. save money!
4. plan things more often including monthly dinner menus.
5. do a lot of sightseeing.
2008 was a great year. probably the best. we made a great move, a reinlistment [with ship life not included], our family is happy and complete. watching the kids grow has made the year top any others all on its own.
2009 will be more chill, but definetly one that will be worth remembering.
now enough of that, cuz like i said new years is overrated.
hopefully ill keep up with updating because, like i said, i miss it.
time to wake hubby up and shower. our day today will be filled with taking tayla shopping for ballet clothes and shoes and a trip to the playground near the water. grocery shopping and video games.
hopefully a free movie later on with some drinks with hubby.<3
love, aprilbunny<3

Wow your in Japan and your husband has shore duty... how is that working for you? My husband is looking for shore duty and his first pick is Japan only because it would give us new experiances.
