Ohayo Gozaimasu

....means Good Morning in Japanese, but on Okinawa it means Nice to see you. And after such a long time it is nice to see you!

My computer troubles were a bit more than I thought and we ended up having to dump my whole computer and start it from fresh, so I have busy updating software, reinstalling programs, trying to figure out why my CM Software quadrupled my photo bank, and resigning myself to spend the time deleting said photos!

These last few weeks have been extremely full. Stephanie participated in the DEFY program (Drug Education For Youth), spending a week touring jails, climbing walls, visiting parks and having fun.

Chris went to a Survival Camp (called NIKO, but I have no idea what that stands for) for 4 days. He camped in the jungle on the northern end of the island. The highlight of the trip for him was roasting a whole pig in a ground pit. He came home battered, bruised, dirty and stinky. He can't wait to do it again next year!

I am loving my new job. I should have started up in the craft section to begin with! I am in crafters heaven! I love the people I work with and am so much happier than I was in the frame shop. I also took a giant step and enrolled in school. That's right, at 38 I am a freshman! Today is my first day of school and I am more than a little nervous.

Lyle is still Lyle. He has been busy working as well as helping me with the regular house stuff and running kids from here to there. He plans on taking some time off in September, but we will see.

That is about all the news that's fit to print. I didn't want you thinking we fell of the face of the earth!
