So wow! I haven't blogged in forever! I'm completely horrible at keeping people updated. Sorry guys! I guess I decided to get on here and blog because I'm just having a rough day. I MISS my husband! I was okay knowing he'd be gone for three months. I prepped myself and the kids and I was even able to go and visit him for our anniversary. Well now with the government shutdown we have no idea when he will be home. The guy that is supposed to take his place can't get orders to Okinawa because our government can't get their stuff together. :( I delayed the boys birthday party so that they would have dad home to celebrate with us and now that's not going to be the case. Hayden doesn't even know yet and I don't want to tell him because he was already upset that dad missed his real birthday. I know it is what it is and this is all part of this "great" military life we lead but it doesn't make it any easier. Justin misses out on so much and I know how hard it is for him too. Andrew lost his first tooth, Matt played football for the first time and Hayden has grown up so much and he has missed out on all of that. Every once in a while you have to have a pity party for yourself and that is where I am today. I'm trying to not worry about it and know that it will work itself out but I just can't get out of my funk. I don't want to do anything. I just want my husband home. The fact that we don't have a return date now makes it so much harder for me. I don't have anything to look forward to! :/ I feel like I can't even be excited about my sister and family coming to visit because now I don't even know if my husband will be here to enjoy their visit with us. No matter what the visit will be fun and we will do a lot of cool things while they are here but it won't be the same not being able to share that time with my husband as well.
So with all that said I really feel like our government needs to get their act in shape. They are affecting so many lives by not doing their job. I feel like everyone else is suffering based on what they decide and all they do is continue to bicker like little children?! Well that's all I got for today. My little pity party is over. I will be fine and I'll get my mojo back I just miss the guy I love the most and want to really have him here enjoying Japan with us. Night!!

The Kintai Bridge and Cherry Blossom season
Japan is famous for their Cherry Blossom (Sakura) trees. It symbolizes the end of winter and beginning of a new season. The trees bloom for a very short amount of time and when they are fully in bloom they look completely white and it is an amazing view. Today, March 28th, I ventured to the Kintai Bridge where the Cherry Blossom festival is happening this weekend and I got some amazing shots. There were so many people out and about enjoying the 65 degree weather. The kids were in school and Justin was working so I ventured out alone. I plan on going back out tomorrow with Maverick or this weekend with the whole family. Here are a few.....or more then a few...of my favorite shots. :)
Hachigamine Park
March 9th we decided to go out and explore Japan a little bit. I had heard about this park called Hachigamine that had a cool roller slide. So we hopped in the car and headed out. When we got there we saw rabbits in a pen and some nice japanese lady gave the boys carrots to feed them. Hayden screamed bloody murder going down the slide but now wants to go again. :) There was also a train we could take for a ride. If you know the Carr family we LOVE trains and can't pass one up. It's cool that this train was made in Wichita, KS. Kind of a little bit of home here in Japan. The weather was amazing and everyone had fun. Here are a few photos of our trip.
