1000th Post!

Are any of you still reading my ramblings? The blog I started shortly before we left for Japan, in hopes that we would get to move to Japan, now has 1000 posts. And fitting that today is the day I leave Japan.

I'm flying from Yokota Air Force Base to Seattle to Minneapolis to Norfolk today. Wowzers. It's going to be along day. Days? I don't even know.

I'll spend the night in Norfolk and then make the drive to Cary, NC to see my family and attend the memorial service for my Grandma. I'm leaving Japan a week before Glenn so that I can make it home in time to see my family at her service. It's still strange to think that she's gone. I was looking forward to being only a short drive from her and Grandpa for the next several years. What a wonderful woman with a beautiful heart. I'm grateful that I'll be with my mom and our family this weekend.

I've never had to pack for a funeral, a wedding and 6+ weeks of homelessness before. This will be an interesting trip.

I know my blog won't contain world travels and new and different things for awhile, but I think I'll continue to write and document our lives. For me, if nothing else. There are definitely some new things coming up for us. House hunting! I'm very excited about that but nervous we won't find anything we like. My iPhone 4S and connecting with people again. My love affair with Target. A job for me again. Maybe? I hope. Job hunting will be new as well.

Farewell, Japan. You will always have a place in my heart. A beautiful country with beautiful people. I hope we return again some day. Maybe to visit, maybe to live here again. Only time will tell. For now we are on to new adventures. Ganbatte!
