August Comes to an End

We survived the Typhoon! Yay! On Tuesday, things were back to normal. Chad had to go into work at 7AM; he's not back to his usual shift. He has been driving my pink car to work and getting shit from the guys, I feel bad for him. If you read this blog post of mine, you would know we were waiting until this week for Chad to be able to get his car that I previously posted about. Since the typhoon had everyone stuck inside on Monday he wasn't able to get it as planned. There is quite a bit more paperwork involved here to sell a car than back in the states where it's as easy as signing the title over. He called the lady on Monday night to set up a time to do the paperwork on Tuesday. Well come to find out, she sold the car to someone else!! Supposedly, she tried texting Chad last week asking if he still wanted the car. Chad never responded (because he never received any texts), so she sold the car to someone else. Well when Chad called her, she realized she had been texting the wrong number! Great! I was so mad after Chad told me that but I realized that it truly wasn't meant to be. That car will probably break down a month from now. So our car search began all over again! Chad found a couple more cars he liked on Okinawayardsales.com and contacted the sellers. On Tuesday night, we went to look at a black Altezza. We took it for a short test drive and Chad loved it! The owner was able to meet us this morning to do all the paperwork. It is officially ours! Chad is happy that the sale fell through on the other car. This is the same car, but a better model. It's a really nice car! The Altezza is the same as a Lexus back in the states. It just has a different name over here!

On Monday night, after having cabin fever from the typhoon we made our way to the BX where we bought a nice new Canon camera! We decided to invest in a camera while we're over here since everyone back home asks for pictures! On Tuesday night, we went to go see the sunset at the beach. We found a new beach that we had never been to before. It was nice, we will for sure be back! I need to figure out how to use this camera so I can take the best pictures possible! The memories we're making over here will never be forgotten. It is truly a once in a lifetime opportunity to live in a foreign country and we want to be able to show our kids one day all the memories we photographed!
