6 Months!

Hard to believe time has flown this much, and that we've been here 6 months! It also makes me realize I need to blog more, as it's been about 3 months since my last blogging adventure. So much has happened, where to begin!?! I guess I can start with the fact that Brian is gone, and has been for a few months. Thus began my journey alone in Japan! Things have been going really well so far, I've been able to kill all my own spiders, change my own oil, and do all those things that husbands are REALLY supposed to do! I've also managed to do a lot of things out in town with fellow wives, like going to Tokyo and trying a handful of new restaurants.

On the plus side of things, Brian has been able to come home every so often, so we've been able to take mini side trips, like when we went to this island south of here, called Enoshima Island, and walked around and explored the local area. We found a cool cave into the side of the mountain, and a bunch of cool shrines located on top after a long hike.

We also went up to Tokyo and had a nice dinner right before Brian had to go back the first time. Then, he was able to surprise me for the 4th, and they're ship pulled into port! One of our good friends had people over, so we were able to have an almost normal 4th of July!

Sadly, their ship pulled out again a few days after that, and they'll be gone indefinitely. However, I plan on making the most of this summer, traveling, hiking and sightseeing, so keep checking up on me, see how I'm doing, and experience Japan with me!
