Countdown to our return to the states!!!

Well, we watched Douglas fly off to Virginia, TBS, the other day and now the kids and I are here with the earthquakes again!!  Last night we had a small bit of shaking going on and whew, hopefully not another huge quake like a year ago.  NOT FUN!! 
Anyway, we will be headed back to Cali this summer.  although, not the East coast closer to my family, we will be right there with Douglas' family.  I am so happy that the kids will finally get to know his side as well. 
I started a fun jar for the item sold at flea marketing and OYS so that the kids and I can use that money to explore Okinawa.  First up..... HUMPBACK WHALE WATHING!!!!!!  Oh we are so excited!  I just may HUGE mamals!!  HAHAHA!  just some nausea meds should be fine! 
Kids are growing way too fast. 
About Douglas, I am so proud of him.  He has worked so hard to earn his next rank, Warrant Officer!  I wish we could be there to see him pin on and graduate but it would cost us $7000!!  I will be ok if someone took some pics for me and maybe record the ceremony.
