It's Been a Year!

It’s Been a Year!

We can’t believe that a year has passed already. Where does the time go?

Nate and I decided we would put together a list of things we love about Okinawa and things we miss about the states… one year in. It is really funny the things you definitely learn to live without and the things you never realized you would miss so much!

Things we LOVE about Okinawa:
Sushi, driving on the left side of the road, SCUBA diving, traveling to other Asian countries, finding Tootsa (our new Okinawan kitty), how polite the Okinawans/Japanese are, beach camping, being surrounded by beautiful water, the plethora of restaurants, our scooter, the sea shells, the ocean view from our apartment

Things we MISS about the United States:
Our family and friends of course!, Papa John’s (don’t laugh), being able to drive home, holidays, real TV and real radio, getting a Netflix delivered in reasonable time, being able to call people at normal hours, winter (just kidding!), Target, stores that we both can buy clothes in (Nate is too big), reasonably priced produce, microbrews (Orion lost it's novelty after a couple months)

We will be back to update this list in a year!

Crazy Kitties

We have a little copycat kitty on our hands. Tootsa likes to do just what big brother Monsy does. We can't leave any drawers open.... as they become comfy beds. The little stink stuck her head out for Nate to take the picture.

More of our little copycat...

Monsy loves laying on newly folded laundry... Toots was trying to get on the new laundry, too!



Tootsa likes to sleep on her back. She is a crazy little kitty!
