Cicadas are a hummin'...

Saturday, 11 Jul 2009 | Views [1263]

We're loving living on a sub-tropical island; however, with the beautiful weather comes big bugs!  We didn't mind the snails in the courtyard, the gecko in the elevator, the hermit crab in the foyer, but the huge cicada on the screen - that's where I ... Read more >

Check out that sunset!

Wednesday, 8 Jul 2009 | Views [539] | Comments [2]

Brandon and I went down to the Sea Wall to watch the sunset.  What a gorgeous display of water, clouds, and color!  Absolutely gorgeous!  Though photos can't do justice, I wanted to share these with you.  You're always welcome to come visit us and experience ... Read more >


Goodbye, Gimli, goodbye!

Monday, 6 Jul 2009 | Views [679]

Gimli's new family met us last night and took Gimli back to their loving home.  Re-homing Gimli has been an incredibly challenging decision for Brandon and me to make, but for the sake of both humans and dog, we felt it was in everyone's best interest ... Read more >


Happy 4th of July!

Sunday, 5 Jul 2009 | Views [709] | Comments [1]

We had a wonderful 4th of July!  We were invited to a BBQ upstairs and enjoyed lots of wonderful food, made some new friends, and watched fireworks from the rooftop.  All-in-all, a very fun Fourth!  Hope you all have fun celebrating, too! ---Arielle ... Read more >


Would you like a cupcake, "Cupcake?"

Saturday, 4 Jul 2009 | Views [802] | Comments [2]

I decided I was too hungry for white cake to just ignore it, so I decided to try to make my first cupcakes.   The end result did, indeed, taste good and satisfy my craving, but the decorating wasn’t quite what I had planned.   The first bag split;... Read more >


Here's the drill...

Saturday, 4 Jul 2009 | Views [909]

Brandon was so excited to finally get his drill in the mail (after over a month of waiting) so he could finally get the surround sound speakers up on the wall!   Gimli even tried to help him a few times before deciding to “supervise” from the floor.... Read more >

B-u-n-d-t cake...

Sunday, 21 Jun 2009 | Views [1823] | Comments [2]

(Coming from a huge extended family, I'm a big fan of the movie, "My Big Fat Greek Wedding!  My title is from that movie.) Most of you know the fun Brandon and I have been having on okinawayardsales.com since we got here.   We’ve found great ... Read more >


Brandon no tanjiyobi!

Wednesday, 17 Jun 2009 | Views [821]

Today was my 27th birthday! Yeah I know its hard for me to believe too! I spent most of my day at work, but it went fairly fast so I cannot complain.  When I got home I found my amazing wife had made cookies with frosting on them!  After supper ... Read more >


Gimli

Wednesday, 17 Jun 2009 | Views [651]

Gimli is slowly adjusting to life with us in our apartment.  Quite a change from a house with four boys under the age of five!  He's been enjoying playing catch with Brandon and me, although when he gets tired, instead of actually running after the ball, ... Read more >

Cookies!

Wednesday, 17 Jun 2009 | Views [637]

I made good use of some of the cooking presents I got for my birthday from Mimi & Pappy today!  I made cookies this afternoon to share with our apartment building neighbors and for Brandon to take to work.  I tried out a new sugar cookie recipe and ... Read more >


Raindrops keep falling on my head...

Monday, 15 Jun 2009 | Views [665]

Okinawa's Rainy Season is usually in May, but this year, May was relatively dry and now we are having two weeks of rain in June.  As much as it's not fun to coax Gimli out in the rain or haul groceries to my car, we need this rain!  We may be surrounded ... Read more >


Arielle no tanjiyobi!

Monday, 15 Jun 2009 | Views [784]

[Arielle's birthday!] My 26 th birthday was very happy, indeed!   It began with a voicemail from my parents and grandparents singing happy birthday to me and continued with visiting with my parents and Aunt Amy and Gary Joe on Skype and getting another ... Read more >

Say hello (or konnichiwa) to the new addition to our family!  Gimli is an eight-month old, solid 50 pounds of muscle, English Bulldog.  He came to our house from a family that could no longer take care of him.  We were happy to give him a new home!  We ... Read more >
