The island is beautiful. We drove it all the way from the north end to the south. It only takes about 2.5 hrs. The water is amazing. These are all from the North end and Okuma, which is a military resort on the NW end.
Beautiful..
The day the lockdown was lifted we headed out to see the island. They have an amazing aquarium here. I have never seen such huge animals in my life! The biggest Manta Ray was about 8-9 ft across at least and there were whale sharks in there too.... one was gianormous! The dolphin show was fun too; this one flipped and hit the ball with its tail!
Jeremiah's Birthday
Of course the boy wanted to play baseball on his birthday... and we talked to family over the computer. Next year he will be home for his birthday... I cannot wait!
Saturday Morning in Japan
Well up and Jeremiah is making breakfast....delicious. It and has been cloudy since I arrived here, but the temp is great and the company is even better. Since yesterday was Friday and I do the Lent fasting thing, Jeremiah's friends Ai and Mark invited us over for sushi...it was awesome. I have never made my own sushi before...rolling it all together and mix and matching what goes in it...too cool and very delicious. After that we grabbed ice cream with them and watched a movie at their place. An awesome first day in Japan. Here are some pictures from this morning!
Crazy Borns
My friends Katie is so great and crazy and her kiddo is too. She is so cute but I think we found the source to the kid's craziness at Starbucks the other day...
Visit from my Family
My dad's birthday is coming up and since I will be gone, my family came to visit me! I was surprised to see my sister and neice... it was a wonderful surprise! My sister is pretty pregnant but begining to feel miserable with that big belly! My niece was cute like always. My mom and dad were good and it was great to see them. My brother and his girlfriend came too. It was so wonderful having everyone...even if it was a challenge to find places for everyone to sleep! The pictures are of my niece playing IN my toy box...cheezing the smile of course. Jeremiah on the webcam in his flight suit. He played with my niece through the webcam and she just loved it. She loves to wave to him and he waves back. She keep pointing to him and telling me, "That's yours." Too cute.
Reynolds Family Update
I haven't posted anything in about a month so i'll do a quick recap and hit the high points...
The holidays passed and everyone made it through without too much damage! I got to see my new family and my own family as well, which was so wonderful. I got to see Jeremiah, but it is never for long enough. The next time I see him will be the end of February and I cannot wait! Since the holidays my cute little....well younger brother had a birthday (which was yesterday and I didn't even get a chance to call and say hi! Crazy work always getting in the way.) The other big...no... huge news was from my sister who is expecting in May. She called to tell me they found out the sex of the baby a few weeks ago....she said... "They are both boys..." dun dun dun. I had to reassure Jeremiah that twins run in her husbands family not mine, and we are all so very excited for them. Other than that, I am switching over to nights now. So if anyone calls, please don't be offended if I do not answer during the morning hours... that is prime sleeping time! At least that means Jeremiah and I will be working on kinda the same schedule! We picked a wedding venue, if you wanna check out the link along the side here to the right. And wedding plans are picking up. It helps me not miss Jeremiah so much and makes the wonderful day seem closer! To all our friends and family... we both miss you so much and cannot wait to get to spend some time with you all again. Hope the begining of your 2008 has been blessed and continues to be guided by God throughout the year. Love you all.
