Our First Japanniversary!

We've lived in Japan for one full year as of today! So much has happened in our year here. We moved twice, welcomed Jude into our family, Bennet started school, we learned how to drive on the left side of the road, Tim got his first engineering job, and we've had the opportunity to visit so many cool places like Hiroshima, Miyajima, Tsuwano, Yokosuka, and Shimonoseki. We're really settling into Japan now and enjoying so much of the food, culture, and people.

And to celebrate it, we're all going to Chicken Shack for dinner tonight. It is one of our favorite places to go around here to eat. It's actually got a Japanese name but all of us gaijin just call it Chicken Shack. I'll be sure to take lots of photos tonight and post them tomorrow so you can all experience it with us!

We have a lot coming up for the next year too! Tim will continue training for his first marathon, Bennet will be in school again, Jude will be busy learning to walk and talk, and we're planning several more trips around Japan. We cannot wait to see what our second year in Japan will hold for us!
