First of all I apologize for the delayed blog. We finally got our internet set up on the 26th but it was all messed up and kept dying every 5 minutes so every time I tried to make a blog post it would die on me and I'd have to start over again.I'm sure most people reading this know by now that we moved into our apartment. It's a 3 bedroom highrise "Fugi Heights" is the name of our building. We love it! It's pretty spacious, has a beautiful view of the ocean from a balcony in the dining room and a big stainless steel kitchen, where Andrew has been spending a lot of his time. I bought him a cookbook for Christmas and he has taken up cooking as his new hobby! On Christmas Eve he cooked roast duck and made fresh "beer bread" from scratch! Tonight for my birthday he is making me fresh home-made pasta and Italian bread. :)
As far as furniture so far we have bought our living room set, a wrap around couch with a recliner, and entertainment center and our dining room set. We still have to get our beds delivered and then Housing will come and pick up the loaner furniture we've been using.
Anyway our Christmas was okay. We celebrated here a few days early because Andrew thought he had duty on Christmas Eve but it turned out that he didn't. We spent Christmas day in Negishi with Andrew's shipmate Mike Hood, his wife Casey and their newborn girl Paiten. They also have a dog and 2 cats so Helayna had a blast. Other than that we have just been really busy getting things for the house. We were lucky enough to get an apartment right across from the commissary and NEX. Every day we realize that we need something we don't have so we go for a NEX run.
Andrew is planning to take a week of leave toward the end of the month and I am hoping we will get to do a little more sightseeing. If I haven't mentioned it already, the weather here is gorgeous. We haven't needed anything more than a light jacket since we got here.
Also we now have a phone number. It's 7cents a minute for us to call the States and free if you call us. If anyone wants our phone number feel free to email me and I will give it to you!
Anyway I hope everyone had a good Christmas and a Happy New Year celebration! Peace.
