New Home Package

When I was doing research for our move, I found a wonderful idea. Sending a package to your new place before you move. For a few weeks before our move, I started collecting little items I thought I might want once we were in Okinawa. When we got our mailbox assignment, I sent us a package filled with these goodies. A week after we got here, I checked our box and there it was. It was so exciting to have a little piece of home! Some of the things I chose I thought I might not find here on the Island. 

• Quinoa
• Favorite Almond butter
• candle
• dog toy
• hair accessories
• Burts bees chapstick
• razors
• nail kit
• toothpaste
• dog treats
• dog bones
• new tervis tumbler with lid and extra straws

All of the stuff was very random, but it was all stuff I wouldn't neccessarily need in my suitcase. It was so fun to get this package and have some of my favorite things. The best thing, it only cost $14 to send it all the way here!

So here is an update on our Okinawa To-do list:

When you put it on paper, it really seems like we have gotten so much done! Now that we have a home and cars, we are starting to feel like this is where we belong. We are definitely ready for a routine and a fairly "normal" life. We still have a few things left to do before we are completely settled. I am working on finding a job. It is way easier said than done. Jobs for spouses here are few and far between. Wish me luck on my search! I have also not found a bikram studio. I may have to find a new fitness obsession.
