Long time...

It's been awhile since our last post, but we have lots of good reasons. Since last time, we've moved to a new apartment, Kris' started her new teaching job, and Nate found himself a new job as well!  We've also finally completed all of the paperwork for getting access to the bases here on Okinawa.  The U.S. military rivals Japan when it comes to paperwork!

Teaching has been keeping Kris busy with writing lectures, grading quizzes, and midterms (only 8 week terms, so this one is almost over!) 

Nate was recently hired to work at the SCUBA diving shop on base, so he will be saying goodbye to the Macaroni Grill and starting there in the next week or two.

We are enjoying our new apartment and have finally taken some pictures for everyone.  It is a bit smaller than our other one, but has a lot more character! Hopefully, we'll have a bit more free time now to let y'all know of our goings on. 

The entire apartment as seen from the front door.
The kitchen/dining room - note the pink tile on the walls!

The blue tiled toilet room and sink area and purple tiled shower/bath room.

The office (with the kitchen in the background).


The bedroom.
The view from our balcony...note the ocean in the distance.
