John's Birthday!

First, my blog has officially reached 1,000 views. I want to thank everyone who has been reading and everyone who has offered compliments on how much they enjoy reading it daily. It means a lot to me that so many people want to follow my journey to Yokosuka. The great thing is this journey has become one of the biggest, most enjoyable, and most frustrating of my life. There's still more journey to go, so I'll be updating regularly. Please keep tuning in and your support and kind words means more than you know.

Today's John's birthday. If you haven't already, just wish him a Happy Birthday :) We woke up today at 7am and bought tickets to the Giants game in San Francisco. Two hours later we were out the door and headed to our second game since we've been here. We had great seats again (day of StubHub buying for these games is super thrifty) and the Giants won. The first picture is John and I smiling big at the game.

We then came back to San Jose where John's sister is cooking John's birthday dinner. He hasn't been in San Jose for his birthday in years and his family is extra excited to see him on his special day. While cooking, John's sister Charity discovered a large family size bottle of cooking oil (second picture) and we all laughed because it's ridiculously big!

So, time to get back to the birthday festivities. I still want to link the article from the Yokosuka base paper about people using the voluntary departures as a free vacation. I need to get to a computer to do that. Other than that, still no updates. Hoping for good news next month...
