Well we’ve officially got word where we go next after Dan finishes school in Rhode Island… (drumroll) …Okinawa, Japan! Japan was our first choice so we’re super excited to have this chance to go overseas. We’ll be stationed there for a whole 3 YEARS so it will certainly be a new adventure. We’re sure to come back with lots of cool Japanese merchandise, and God willing, maybe even a kid or two! Hehe.
Another great thing is that our good friends, who live down the street from us, are also getting stationed there as well! It’s a huge blessing to have people we know travel to the same, unfamiliar place. My friend and I will be planning and researching A LOT in the next few weeks…and I’ll attempt to reduce our belongings to very little since we’re restricted to only 25% of the weight allowance you typically get when moving within the US. Anyone need to buy a refrigerator?! Haha.
We’re definitely glad we will be able to spend some time with our close friends and family when we visit CA this Thanksgiving, since its unpredictable when we will visit again before we report to Oki. We’ll try to say our farewells at least one more time before we leave, but it’s really hard to say at this point. In the meantime, we’ll keep you informed as we figure everything out. For now all we know is that we’re gonna end up in Oki!
