Happy Thanksgiving

So today was our first thanksgiving actually by ourselves including Josh's friend Nick. I had a great time cooking, very time consuming but all good in the end. I cooked ham, stuffing, crossants, mashed potatoes, and pumpkin pie. I am thankful for my husband, my family, my job, and so much more. I can't thank everyone enough for what they have done for myself and my husband. Everyone have a Happy Thanksgiving.

On My Mind

When some asks for advice, you think they would take it. I have given advice and it seems that whenever I am asked what to do, I feel like I am repeating myself. It's really annoying. I have learned so much the past month since Josh has been working a different shift. I have read a couple of books and it has helped so much. I just wish someone would listen.

Nice To Get Out

Last night Josh and I had the best time. Our neighbors invited us to go out with them on their anniversary to TGI Friday in Tokyo. We left the house around 5:15pm and road the train for about 2 hours. Lets just say thank god my friend's husband was there because I would have gotten lost. There are way too many people on the train sometimes rude, nice, or they laugh at the faces you make cause you get pushed around. So we finally got to TGI Fridays and when we were walking there it was kind of weird because I kept seeing these guys standing along the wall, I think they were from Kenya. They maybe spoke a couple words in English, well what these guys wanted were our guys going into strip clubs. Needless to say I felt very uncomfortable when Josh would get approached, but he just kept walking and didn't really pay any attention to it. :) Any who we got to TGI Friday, the atmosphere was great there were quite a few American's there and the food was pretty good. The price on the other hand was a bit ridiculous, $61.60. That would have bought us 4 meals at Coco's. When we were done we walked over to Hard Rock Cafe which I have never been before and you could also see a great view of the Tokyo Tower. We headed back at 9:30pm and finally got home at 11:30pm. Josh thought he had to be to work at 4am which sucked, but someone texted him right before we got home and he didn't have to go in till 9am. Thank god because I felt bad that he would have only gotten 3 hours of sleep. So a 5 hour train ride, $61 meal, hanging out with friends and seeing great views; priceless.

Get My Game On

So this week I have decided that I really need to get my game on and work out. Monday I walked a mile. Tuesday I ran a half mile and thought I was going to die. Wednesday I was on my way with a friend and we didn't even get past the tower next to us and she was to cold. It was also getting dark. Today I ran a mile, I was so proud of myself. I couldn't believe I did it, I had to stop twice to stretch my calves out, but I did it. I was mad that yesterday I wasn't able to do what I wanted to, so I had to push myself. Can't wait to see what's next.

School :(

I have recently started classes again and it sucks. I know why I am going to school, but it seems like I have been going forever. I will hopefully will be done within a year and a half. Right now I am taking an accounting class. I have taken this class before, but with a different instructor. I hope it goes smoother than the last one. I just need to focus.

for my family

Hey,

I thought this would be a good idea to keep in touch with everyone back home. Miss you all and I do want to come home sooner rather than later...so we will see.
