5 days pre-Okinawa

I am finally able to sit at a normal computer and write a quick blog!  A few months back I wrote a blog post with the title, "5 months pre-Okinawa".  Can't believe that now it's only 5 DAYS away until I am on flight.  Just wanted to jot some things down quickly :)

Things I am now excited for that I may not have known 5 months ago -

 I love our house.  I love that we HAVE a house as it's been fun just picturing ourselves in it together, unpacked, and settled for an entire 3 years.  A fair amount of people have told me that if this house doesn't work out... we can always move in a year when the lease is up.  I can tell you one thing for sure - this will not happen.  If I don't have to move, you can bet your life's savings on the fact that I won't.

I am excited to eat.  Farmer's markets are all around the island and I can't wait to shop at them and learn about all the different foods!  I'm really excited to get out our new pots 'n pans (Tony is extremely excited) and learn to cook Okinawan style :)

I am excited to get our things out of storage and delivered to the house.  The best thing about moving is starting over on the decorating :)  And well, I don't think there will be a shortage of flowers in Okinawa, so freshness will be in the house for 36 months straight.. 

Apparently, there is a ton of pottery.  This scares Tony.  This excites me.

I am excited to meet new people and hear their stories!  :)

And of course - the thing I am most excited for? To be with my awesome husband :)
