Konnichiwa from Japan!

We just moved to Japan from Heidelberg Germany.

I miss Germany, but man I am loving Japan so much.

Right now the balmy hot temps doesn't bother me at all. I love it in fact.

I love being so close to the beach. There are so many here and they are so beautiful. I hope we get some visitors here.

I had some great food here so far, just simple roast pork with ramen blew my mf'ing mind. The dumplings were insanely amazing. I loved it when we ate in Paris an Germany, but it doesn't compare to eating it in the country of its origin. I feel so happy and blessed. The kids love it too. They still love Paris, England, and America the most though. But they love it so much here, they even commented on the amazing food. I am hoping to take advantage of all that Japan/Asia has to offer. I still can't believe I am here. I've wanted to live here for a very very long time. So I am going to hope to live it up. I do have to finish my degree here, but I hope to have loads of fun still.

I bought a new camera to capture our lives here when carrying around the dslr is too much of a pain. I am still learning it, the nice man at the BX here recommeded this camera. And it's pretty cool. He took the time to show us every feature the Lumix has to offer, its been on my drool list forever. The HD video camera is amazing and I plan to use it and vlog a bit, can not wait to share with you all!!!!!!!! I just need better video editing software because the Windows Movie Maker on Windows 8 is crappy. I tried to vlog in Germany but couldn't. Oh well.

Moving and Trip to England

GW move in a couple of weeks!!!! Omg so stressful. Taking care of the last of everything is so stressful. My stomach is knots, my phone is constantly ringing and my home is steadily emptying. However the emptier my home becomes the messier it seems to get. I don't  get it. Ooh nevermind, I have kids.

We are so ready to see our family stateside. Last weekend we went to England. To visit my sin and nephew before we go. So happy to do that. I miss my brother so much.  And it was wonderful to spend time with my nephew. Next up is planning our trip to America along with all the other things we have to get done here! Hotels in America are so expensive! We are a family of five and I don't want to put anyone out especially during the week so the hotel plan is the best. We will hopefully figure something out. Anyone have any hotel recs? 

England was a wonderful trip. The sun shone the entire time, the weather was amazing. A welcome break from the dreary weather we had here in Germany. Parts if our city became so flooded due to the rain. It was ridiculous. Made me happier to be so far away! In England, I cooked for my brother and wasn't so concerned about being a tourist but making England a home away from home. It felt so amazing. I loved it. We shopped, ate, talked and relaxed. We did go to Cambridge and it's a gorgeous town. I feel so honored and blessed to have seen so many different places and now I am addicted. The kids loved England so much. We want to go to be more city before we leave in a couple weeks, but we are not sure where yet. Somewhere CHEAP preferably and close.
