Most of you have probably already seen the book, but this way you can show it to friends who ask about us too!

trembling inside and outside
Oooh! Today I am home from work with some sort of stomach flu bug. My insides hurt! No fun!
A few minutes ago, there was an earthquake. Crazy! I was actually on the toilet when there was this tapping sound, and I thought Jon was getting home. It was then that I realized the room was shaking. Our hot/cold water stand was also shaking.
... And I thought it was the medicine the doctor gave me!
I will be looking for some sort of report on the scale of the earthquake and will post my findings here...
... Ok I just foun info on the quake. It was a 4.9 centered 95 miles northwest of Naha. No wonder I felt it. Turns out, there have been several earthquakes the past week with a magnitude of 2.5 or higher. Crazy! Guess it's earthquake season after typhoon season ends here!
On a lighter note, we come home very soon! Yay! We're like Santa with his bag of toys, except we're bringing a suitcase of presents!

36 Ways Happy
Ok so maybe not really 36 ways, but at least 3!
1. I got my car back today. It looks amazing! It looks better than it did when I got it, so that is fantastic! All for only 504,000 Yen. Sounds like a lot but it is only about 500 bucks so it's not so bad.
2. Jon and I had a lovely Thanksgiving, and even though we missed out family (yes you), we weren't homesick like we expected. I'm sure it helped that we both talked to our family and had a full thanksgiving meal here and two other thanksgiving meals with friends here in Okinawa, but we have had quite a nice time here recently!
3. Last and what I am most excited about: We just booked our flight and hotel for the Sapporo Snow Festival! I am so excited to go to Hokkaido and see the amazing ice sculptures! It's going to cost us a fortune, but hey, when in Rome... or is it Japan? Hehe. We knew we'd kick ourselves for missing it if we didn't go so we've gotten a lil group together to take the trip! I can't wait. It's going to be freezing up there! It's going to be dazzling! It's going to be such a different experience than we have on Okinawa! Yay, I can't wait!
