New Home and 70's Party...

Nyjai successfully finished her first week of school, we found the perfect home and I met a few new people. 

Nyjai is taking a heavy load of honors classes.  I am hoping that she will soon get involved in a few sports.  She is making friends slowly but surely.  Right now, she is focused on catching up on 5 weeks of missed assignments.  Nyjai is a trooper though she has been hitting the books hard everyday this week.  Even though she took time off to hang with her dad.

I went to a hot spring with a group of women called Covenant Sisters.  It was supposed to be a day of relaxation and pampering, but there were kids everywhere.  You know that is not how I see relaxation time.  I can show these ladies how to pamper themselves for sure.  I must however find a spa with an incredible masseuse, esthetician, and nail technician.  Then I will be able to relax.  All in all, I had a good time. 

We have had a number of people make restaurant and food recommendations.  They were all excited about this thing call “nan bread”.  I tried it!  Uhh…it is just some backed dough with cheese, not very exciting or tasty.  I have to find some people with more discriminating taste buds…LOL!

Nyjai and I celebrated the finding of a new home with some curry from a restaurant called CoCo’s.  It was really good.  We have been back a couple times already.  Since we are in the Navy Lodge, it is challenging to eat as healthy as I normally do.  We do buy a lot of fruit and whole grain products but I want some fresh vegetables.  Nothing has been that appealing to me and they go bad so quickly.  

Franklin, Nyjai and I went biking and stopped at a couple of furniture stores.  I haven’t worked out in a while, but I get great exercise walking the city and biking.  You know I take the stairs as often as possible.  I have to be able to fit in that tub in the video.  Ooo and at the furniture stores, I saw so many wonderful authentic Japanese pieces.  I am glad I did not bring a lot of furniture with me.  I can start all other again…LOL! 

Nyjai is so funny she saw this stand and hollered “ooo incense.”   I laughed and said, “No silly chopsticks.”  We both laughed because it was an easy mistake.

We went to a 40^th Birthday Party with a 70’s theme for one of Franklin’s co-workers.  It was fun.  I was Gloria Gaynor- she sung “I Will Survive.”  Franklin was Disco King.  It was a lot of fun!

We also had a mini-earthquake.  It wasn’t bad, just a little shake that you had to pay attention to feel. 

Week two, hear we come!
