Ok, enough complaining for now! For some good news... Chad and I will be flying home to stay for a whole month in December! We'll be home for Christmas! I'm so excited! I don't want to wish the summer away, but I can't wait until the end of the year! The plane tickets were far from cheap, but they'll be worth every single penny! I will never complain about domestic airline ticket prices again, anything under $1,000 will forever be "cheap" to me!
Nothing much has been going on. I'm going to end this post by adding some pictures from my phone that I have accumulated over the past month since my last post.
At the end of April, we went to see the Kaiensai Firework Display. They shot off fireworks at a beach over the ocean to the sound of music. We didn't want to pay $30 a person to go to the actual beach so we watched from a distance. There fireworks are a lot like the ones you see in America. There were a couple cool ones that we had never seen before.
A couple weekends ago, we went to watch the Naha Dragon Boat Races. It was a fun experience but it wasn't as cool as I thought it was going to be. They had several different boat race teams go every 15 minutes or so. 3 boats would race down to one end of the pier, make a turn and head back to the finish line. There were even some Americans who had put together teams for the races including those from the Army, Air Force, and Navy. I think it would be cool to be part of the team but at the same time it would be intense to paddle that boat! I'm sure lots of physical training is required!
Chad had a PT test in April and scored a 95.2% on it! Since he got such a high score, he was recognized by his squadron's Commander and receives a comp day. I'm proud of him!
At work, we had our Annual Air Force Inspection in April. The front desk staff was recognized as doing an outstanding job, so we all got awards. Even though it's something little, it's always great to be recognized for a job well done!
One night after work, Chad took me to Round 1, which is like a big sports complex. They have a ton of different things to do from a video arcade, batting cages, roller skating, darts, ping pong, tennis, boxing, soccer, basketball, etc. You just pay an admission price depending on how long you want to stay and then you get to do whatever you want for no extra charge! It's pretty neat, Chad and I talk about how we need to open a place like that up in America!
All the rest of the pictures on my phone are of Myah. She is doing something daily that cracks me up, so I'm always snapping pictures of her!
