life update..! & july 09

so! i really havnt updated you guys on whats going on lately with us.

japan has been awesome. we go out and explore new things just about every weekend. theres so much to see and do, and even though we still have about 2 years left, ive become impatient and have been wanting to do everything! any time possible! lol. we did decide that we are gonna do at least one big new thing each month. though, theyre not always expensive, but it does help us plan out our expensive trips better.

so, i know i dont update very often, but ive decided i need to do at least monthly updates. that way i can catch everyone up and things that happened and places we went to that month :)

so! JULY 09:

i had checked out costco with a friend of mine, but hubby and i finally got memberships and really started shopping there on a weekly basis. its not very far away and easy to get to. its exactly like any other costco in the states, just add more japanesse food and more sushi in the fresh foods section. ;) oh, but of course, the cart escolators here are awesome and we decided that huge buildings should always have parking either underground of their buildings or above them. japanesse people are just so clever! its nice getting fresh food there though. the commisary sucks with things like that since they ship most things over. its really worth it to get fresher things so they last longer. plus, for bulk items, the prices are great.

burger king opened right off the base. we tried it and it was yummy! tastes just the same. there are quite a few here, but we had never tried it till they put a new one right by us. lol.
the lines were huge though the first few days of the opening.

i had a great 4th of july with my babies.<3 hubby had to work so that sucked, and i didnt have anyone else to hang out with oddly enough, but it was nice to be out with them alone at such a big event. they loved the fireworks and i spoiled them with toys and all the kid activities. :)

bungie day is 7/7.. you know what that means..! lol. theyre always doing something special for their halo fans. hubby and i played for liiiiike 11 hours that day id say? we took a break to sleep since our hours were completely different then theirs of course, but we played as much as we could to try to get matched with a bungie team. the thing was that if you get matched with them and you beat them, that you would win recon armor from the game thats not even out yet. that would have been awesome, but i just really wanted to play with them. i know, im such a nerd.. lol.

the weathers crazy. super hot one day, perfect the next, rainy the day after. we go bowling a lot during the rainy days. its fast, cheap fun for us and the kids. we all love it. even though i dont bowl [cuz i suck] i love watching them.

we got a "new" car. its a 96 nissan priemera. we got it from hubbys friend for $75. lol. its worth a lot more, so at least we will make profit from it when its time to sell it. or the mazda. we just gotta get the ac fixed or maybe even just suck it up with summer almost over..

i got a nice girls shopping day out with my friend elise and her twin baby girls. hubby watched the kids for me. we went to harajuku and checked out all the shopping there. we mostly just shopped at forever 21 though.. it was 5 stories tall!! with a floor underground too and a mens section. we were in heaven<3 and got some awesome stuff. shes a great shopping buddy :] i just gotta go back on a sunday to see all the crazy people dressed up in weird clothes. lol.

we also checked out ikea! its just like the states too. lol. they had a lot of cute kids stuff though and we bought some cool mirrors for the house. tayla got an awesome nightlight and we'll have to go back to get jayden the other matching one too. they also got new beds from homes. the delivery kinda sucked, cuz we had issues with finding them and they were late, lol, but the beds are nice. we just got bunk beds, but seperated them in each of their rooms.

so everyone remember that big eclipse that was happening? well, we would have been able to see a good amount of it, but of course, it had to be all rainy and stormy outside anyway, so when it got dark, it wasnt that dramatic. :( but it was still a nice day. hubby and i took a peaceful little walk with the kids. it was nice.

comicon in SD was awesome this year.. BUT of course we missed the best year of it ever. i saw so many pictures of halo guys and people playing ODST. lets just hope the tokyo game show will make up for missing that one.. lol

we've been to yokohama quite a few times now, but we went again and actually went inside queens tower. you wouldnt even think that tower is a huge mall inside. lol. we mainly just went to see the disney store. the kids love going there in the states so i wanted to check one out here, since i knew we all missed going all the time. again, it was just like the states! lol

on another note, i lost a friend who i thought was super close with me. but i made that decision, becasue i know im better off and i wont take any bullshit. ive actually felt much better since that relationship has ended. yay me, lol.

theres been a lot more happening already this month, but i think ive already written a book, lol. ill update at the end of the month.

leave love//love, me!
