Where are we now...

So, a little time has passed. And by little I mean, a lot. I'm sorry. Clearly I was caught up in our last months spent in Turkey and getting adjusted to our new life in Okinawa. A lot has happened in the last 5 months but if you follow me on Facebook or Instagram, you've seen it all. I don't even know where to start with  my blogging so how about we just start fresh! We are in a new adventure so what better timing!

We have been in Oki for just about 2 months now. Time has gone by fast, some days, and we are looking forward to all the adventures we will endure during our time on this beautiful island.  Of course, we got here right in the middle of "typhoon season" and there was literally a typhoon every other weekend our first month here. I mean, really, what a welcoming!!!! The first one I didn't think was anything but a strong wind storm, the second one...HOLY COW!!! There were cars flying, huge trees uprooted, roofs torn off and lots of damage. None of that damage was ours though, thankfully!! And luckily, that was the last one we had.

James works Mon-Fri so clearly on his weekends, he wants to do nothing but watch TV and play a video game. I, on the other hand, do not currently have a job and want to do nothing on the weekends but explore this beautiful place we have been blessed to live in. With much twisting of arms, begging and pleading, I can get him to get out and about occasionally. We have made a visit to the Seawall during sunset (absolutely beautiful!!), visited Pineapple Park (where they have all kinds of goodies made with pineapple), made a visit to the zoo (Which being from Columbus, OH...any zoo is a let down to me), visited some Castle ruins(a far cry from the castles in Turkey), a lighthouse (not like the lighthouses in America) and another beautiful beach(who can complain about that!!). I'm totally looking forward to having some visitors so I can go explore these places even more!

 I could put a million more pics on here but y'all can check out this photo album on my Facebook, if you haven't already.

I am going to try to do my best to update this blog a lot more! (Not that it would take a whole lot!) So, come back to visit me, stay tuned and here's to many more adventures!
