Last night Frank and I got to get up all dolled up and enjoy a great night with friends. AESA (the enlisted spouses association) had there installation party. It is a night to say thank you and goodbye to the old board and hello to the new one. Even better everyone (members only) gets a prize for the night! I was hoping for the grand prize which was the iPad mini.. but sadly did not win. Oh well guess that means it is still on my Christmas list!
I took quite a few pictures so be prepared for a photo dump! I will share the professional pictures once they are available.
I am currently doing the 24 day challenge... (it's Sunday, why are people flying today!? They should be at home! Sorry just a thought since a jet just took off.) and yesterday was day 6 of 24. I had no intentions of cheating so Frank had a great time enjoying the tab he had going at the bar! ha.

I see you!
After almost 6 months of living here I finally got around to buying curtains! I was only able to get some for the spare room and living room today. I found a few for our room that I loved but they were either special order or not in stock :/
The ones I got for the spare room won't match the bedding I am purchasing.. But I really liked the inside curtain so I didn't mind :)
For the living room I had to get a whole rod set up since the curtains are a set. Sheer back ones and then the main black out curtains. Well the dry wall on this particular wall is not the best. It won't hold up the rod and curtains on the left side. Frank gave up working on it for the night since it was late and he didn't want to be pounding in the wall.
So now our living room is open for everyone to see!
Not a fan of that. However, we had to take down the blinds to put everything up and there is no way we are putting them back up one by one tonight. I am hoping tomorrow Frank is able to figure it all out. I love the new curtains, I would love to be able to use them!

Odawara
Odawara through my iPhone and camera+ app. Yes I am wearing my glasses... I do not like them, as to why I took them off in one picture. One day I will get ones that fit my face!

We're more than friends...
I think every day for the last week I have been telling myself I was going to write up a post. Better late than never!
So... since I last posted we had elections for AESA. I was so ready (yet still very nervous) for my speech. Frank was even an awesome husband and gave me a message that morning to help me relax. I got up there and froze. It was the worst thing I had ever gone through, I could not remember a thing and just kept repeating the same thing over and over again. Needless to say I lost. I wasn't too surprised, I wouldn't have voted for myself. A few people afterwards asked how I was doing about losing. Losing didn't bother me that much since I knew it was a possibility running against two other people. The fake that I bombed my speech is what upset me. I got over it by the end of the night and the next day was back to the normal daily fun times.
Because I am still very busy with work and the Red Cross it makes getting out and exploring a little (A LOT) difficult. Before coming here I wanted to travel and do as much as possible, however, I also wanted to work and do something for myself. I am working and doing something for myself and loving every minute. But I miss being able to do whatever I want when I want. Talk about nothing being able to have everything ha. It would make things a whole lot easier if Frank and I had the same days off!
Not a whole lot is going on in our house right now. There is a lot going on around base though, I am trying to squeeze things in when I can. So maybe one day I will have pictures from some events. Oh I found out I get to participate in Bon Odori this summer!!

I put together a beautification project for the Red Cross with the help of AESA. I hope we can do more of these projects around base!
We got caught ha
It's like I am two different people. Red Cross in the morning.. the gym at night...
I guess I have been living under a rock because I have never heard of these before. Oh my. So amazing!
Speaking of amazing!
