Has A Year Already Passed?

 

Well, it's been a year since my last post (oops!), so I guess I should highlight all the awesome happenings of the last year. We began the year with a program called FTAC (First Term Airman Course), there I met one of my best friends, Lori Forest. At the time I had no idea that over the next year we would become very close and have some awesome memories. March 19th, we celebrated our 1st wedding anniversary, at a wonderful restaurant called Bella Napoli's, they have the best 4 cheese pizza I have eaten in my life. In May we celebrated my 21st birthday in style...with a Strawberry Margarita! I have since tried drinks here and there, and have discovered that I think some are absolutely disgusting and some are quite tasty! In July we celebrated Kyle's 22nd birthday at a wonderful restaurant called Marinos. They serve you pasta from a parmesan cheese wheel, have unlimited soday/tea/juice/coffee (quite a rare commodity in Okinawa), three desserts per person, cheese fondu, and some amazing Cream Corn Pizza. I know, I know you're thinking it sounds disgusting, well, you're wrong. It's DELICIOUS! September began my new job as a nanny for the most wonderful people and bosses ever. I get to spend all day with an adorable baby named Charlie and his older brother Noah. New change began in November when Kyle received the wonderful blessing of getting to further his knowledge of Fuels, by going to Cryogenic school. That was in Wichita Falls, Tx so he got to take a small trip home on the weekends and surprise his family! When he got back to Okinawa he was tasked with a deployment, that will be coming up soon. We are scared and excited at the same time. Mostly anxious to see how this goes, considering this is something we will face again and again as he chooses to continue his career in the Air Force. For Thanksgiving we went camping. During our camping trip it rained, which typically would be fine for a little rain, however we were using rented tents that were about as durable as the cheap toilet paper in most office bathrooms. We woke up soaking wet but incredibly thankful we had a clean, dry home to go to. For Christmas we were able to spend it with our close friends and my amazing bosses. They welcomed us in their home and Santa Clause even came and visited us at their house! We had wonderful feasts and saw a fantastic movie. For New Years we once again watched a movie with the Driver family, who welcomed us in their home with Tye Dye Cheesecake. By far the coolest looking cheesecake I've ever seen. Those were the major happenings of 2012, hopefully 2013 brings more updates with more pictures!
