Xmas and End of 2007
Hi all. Christmas was well it was as good as it can get without family and chilly weather. It was stormy and humid. But nonetheless Josh and I opened our presents, ate some of my yummy cooking and watched "Its a Wonderful Life" on TMC movies. It was nice:) Now it being New Years day Josh and I make our New Years resolutions:

Jessi
1) Being the best wife I can be
2) Lose 5 pounds before summer
3) Read 5 books ( 200pgs at least)
4) Eat healthy and excersise

Josh
1) Be the best hubby he can be
2)Keep off the weight
3) Save money for our future

Anywho, Hope everyone has a good New Years!
God Bless

Yomitan Pottery Festival
Today I went to the Yomitan Pottery Festival here on Okinawa. It was very intriguing to see how the local Okinawans create their pottery. They have many kilns in Yomtian village and each house seemed to either have a commune kiln that they all used or a small household kiln. I got to see many beautiful pottery and how they are made! The prices ranged from VERY expensive due to the rarity of the pottery to inexpensive chipped or imperfect pottery. I wish now I would have brought more money with me, hahah. Here are some pictures I took.
God Bless

As my life turns.....
Hi all.

Wow, it has been awhile since I have posted anything, sorry. Everything has been so busy. Work has been going well. I got moved to the Art/Drama room and I love it :) I'm not so good at Drama stuff but the kids let me know what they wanna do and my room mate James was in Drama in high school so he helps out as well :) It's the Art side that I am a pro at :) We have been making clay, cards, stockings, origami, ornaments and bead keychains all this week! And this is only my first week being in that room! So yeah I enjoy it! I plan to do cooking club once a month also and for Christmas it'll be sugar cookie cutouts! It should be fun and messy :) I haven't really had any problem children yet, they are all really loud though, LOL but I guess thats children in general.

So I have made the decision to stay at SAP and just take off 5 weeks of summer. I'll just stick around the house and explore Okinawa while I have the chance. Once I am a CC03 I'll be making $11.53 and hour and thats good money. I have 4 more modules left. Modules are kind of like child psychology homework. We have to complete 15 of them. I personally don't think that they are all that necessary because working with kids to me isn't all about the inner mind of a child and all this psychology stuff. Kids just wanna have fun and if they can learn while they have fun then thats even better. Anywho enough about work.

Josh has been doing well. Work has been kinda stressful for him so I've been using my Pampered Chef tools to cook him so good food :) We thought for awhile that we would have to move off base because the neighbor lady kept calling the cops on us without even making us aware of what she was complaining about. GRRRR but everything is ok now. We just put in a statement saying that she unnecessarily calls the cops and now we get to stay here :) Man we can't wait to get out of the military. It has taught us alot about growing up and culture but we miss the U.S and our families!

Anywho all, I love ya'll and I'll post pictures soon.
Hugz and God Bless

My review
I'm really humbled by this book. Her journey during the war is truly and inspiration to life. I now look around while I'm driving or walking on Okinawa and think to myself of the struggles that so many Okinawan refugees went through, including the author as a 7 year old child! Defiantly an inspirational read!
