Ie Island/Marriage Retreat

Monday, May 22, 2017
For 3 days and 2 nights we got to go off to Ie (pronounced E-eh) Island for a marriage retreat! It was a lot of fun and the only thing we had to pay for was babysitting. We did one of these about 3 years ago and it was almost all classes but a pretty hotel. This time we only had 4 hours of classes over 3 days and the rest of the time it was scheduled outings to explore the island or free time! As a military family it can be hard sometimes because of how often we are apart so getting experiences like this is a big deal and so fun!

Here we are about to get on the ferry. Do you guys like my new glasses? I do! When I get up early it is better sometimes for me to wait to put my contacts in so I did it on the ferry. 

Happy Mother's Day!

 
Tired to do a photoshoot with Connor for mother's day. He was not into it but this really sums up life right now!

Naha Dragon Boat Races and Children's Day

Friday, May 5, 2017
I finally made it down to the Dragon boat races! First year I was pregnant and the other years I was too intimidated to going with Connor alone but finally this year I knew it was my last chance so we just went! It is one of the biggest festivals in Okinawa on Children's Day, one of the biggest holidays of the year in Japan! I was feeling a little anxious to go but it ended up being just fine. We went in the morning before it was too crazy.
