It's August!

Tick-tock, Noah, tick-tock…it’s 9a.m. here and that kid is still cutting “zzzz”s. Can you believe it?!?! I almost don’t know what to do with myself. :)

Well, as the headline states: It’s August! And HOT! Five more months to go in Misawa...Yippee! I just finished my summer course load and prepping for my final two classes this Fall. Don’t know how I’m going to manage finals with three weeks of the semester spent in HI and GA, but I guess I’ll make do. :) Chris is currently in JAX enjoying some flying time, while me and the munchkin have spent a relaxing, quiet week at home. It’s been nice—Noah is learning to entertain himself a bit more, so I have a few moments here and there for some “pleasure reading.” It’s certainly a nice break from textbooks on topics like strategic planning and finance. The little guy turns 1 on August 22nd, so we’ve also been planning a HUGE Winnie the Pooh birthday party for him. I still can’t figure out where the last year has gone.

Not much going on here right now other than what’s mentioned above. We are still getting pretty moderate earthquakes around here—either that, or I’ve become “seismically sensitive” since the big 7.0 that occurred a few weeks ago and every little shake (although I wouldn’t describe a 5.3, 30 miles away at 1a.m. as “little”) freaks me out now. Funny…I used to think they were cool. Not any more.

Stay tuned for pics of Noah’s big day in the coming weeks…it should be fantabulous!

Cheers!
