Konichiwa!

Like this beauty? Well, guess what? THIS IS OUR NEW HOUSE!!! Mr. Top Gun and I found it yesterday, and by the grace of god we were able to get an amazing deal on it!! It is a four story, four bedroom, two and a half bath home with 1800 square feet. It has an american fridge, washer and an american style kitchen and oven. It is right on the Seawall, so we get to see the ocean everyday!! I just got these shots from the website, but when we move in on Thursday, I will take pictures of the individual rooms and bathrooms. The house is done in reds and other really gorgeous colors, the floors and stairs are all wood, and each room has a HUGE american style ceiling fan and A/C units. We are so blessed to have found our Japanese dream home!

Guess what? We made it! Mr. Top Gun and I arrived on the gorgeous island of Okinawa, Japan late (really late) last night. With the time difference of almost a whole day, my body has been fighting me with every ounce of strength it has left! We have a really comfy TLF room and superb people from Mr. Top Gun's new squadron. They have been picking us up and driving us around until we get our Japanese driver's licences on Wednesday. Tomorrow at O dark thirty (SUPER EARLY) we have our housing brief and then we get to go find our home!!!

On the crap side... We get in last night and Mr. Top Gun is told that... HE IS DEPLOYING IN A FEW MONTHS. WHAT!?!? Great, I knew this would happen. Oh well, I am going to come back home in about three months and stay through the Holidays- I am NOT spending Christmas ALONE in Japan! I have so many pictures and a huge post about the 13 hour plus trip across the pond, but the wi-fi in TLF is kinda slow, so hopefully I can get out of here soon and share my experiences with you! Oh, and Lala... I did arrive in Japan in style! Would I have done it any other way?

Hugs to all of my blog buddies! Thank you so very much for all your positive words of encouragement and support! Being 6,000 miles away from home is a shock, but the Japanese are the most polite and soft spoken people, a far cry away from this LOUD MOUTHED TEXAS GIRL!!!
