we are in Okinawa

Sep 23, 2009

hey you guys, we are in Okinawa, and in house. We arrived here on Sept 5th after a long long almost 27 hour flight, we got here. We stayed in temp lodging for the first two weeks. We where offered a two bedroom house and we took it. We live in a small 545 sqft house, so much smaller then our home in Nc that we bought but we'll make it home. My son will finally start school on Monday, after missing a month of school due to us moving here and paper work that we had to get filled out, that no one told us about.. Long story on that..
I do have my drivers Licens to Drive her, and sweet red car. It's so cute, i have learned my way around this tiny island from bae to base, being that our commissary is on another base, my son goes to school on a different base, and my husband works on another. I haven't met the Gastrologist here yet, i hope to get in with that group soon. I heard they are some of the best in Military medical field.
Jeremy my husband is leaving on Oct 1st through Nov 10th, i think, He is going to Thialand for the month. When we checked in and i met my husband command they said kiss him good bye you won't see him 10 months out of the year. he will be home two weeks gone 6 home like 8 weeks gone 2, here and there.. I was like Great so we went from him being gone on deployments 9-12 months a year to him being home and gone a lot.. Nothing new. As long as he doesn't have bad guys shooting at him we're good, and with these little short trips he can totally bring me back some goodies.. so there is an upside. he'll go to asturalia, thialand, south korea, tiwan and a few other little countries.
Okinawa is very tropical, the water around this island is so beautiful, the people here are so friendly, i will post photos once we get the house in order, We just got internet on monday so its taken me a while to email family and friends and now you guys. i didn't forget you guys. Oh our winter here is lows 55 highs 75 i'm like thats not winter, thats a nice spring day..lol 
We had to leave our boxer Roxy behind with my brother in Le Juene, my son was heart broken. Well we came across a person who has a littler of boxers for adoption, we are going to suprise Alex on Saturday and pick our new baby girl up. 
I think it will cure my husbands baby blues, and my son's missing roxy blues as well.. 
i haven't weighed myself since my gall bladder surgery on Aug 7th, i was at 156, i'm sure by now i lost a little bit being for the first two weeks we WALKED everywhere, i think one day we went to american village here and walked a good 20 miles just sight seeing. and to go do anything we walked, due to taxi's costing a lot. 
I too have to admit i feel of the wagon, with us living in a hotel and the only thing to eat was fast food, i kind of started to eat a lot of burger king, and fast food.. I felt horrible doing it... We wheren't able to to cook in temp lodging so pizza and burger king and other thing was our meals. 
 now in house, i'm starting to cook healthy again, measuring foods, I also am addicted to muscel Milk protein drinks. Those are awesome, i can't drink a whole one in a day, i think one bottle will take me two days to drink. I know everyone says get your protein from Food but i have a hard time doing that when it was fast food. I also stay full longer adding protein drinks back into my snack time. 
I think before the ball i am going to have hair extentsions placed, i have slowed down on the hair loss, it was never as bad as some have.. So i would like to be able to have a nice hair do, 
Ok i need to go, i will not be a stranger to you guys, i miss everyone there in the states speically my havelock girls.. 
They don't have a support group here, even thought they do the surgeries here.. So i'm not sure if i'm going to be open about my surgery yet or not.. 
I love you guys 
Annmarie
