It's official...we are moving to JAPAN for our 1st assignment with the military! We couldn't be more excited!!! For those of you who may not know...Shane served his mission in Japan and I served mine in Taiwan...so we cannot wait to go back there (it's been almost 9 years)! We will be on the Yokota Air Base which is 30 miles outside of Tokyo. We will be moving there this July and our assignment is for 3 years. We don't have any other details, but will definitely post them as we find out.
If anyone has any advice or knows anything about the area we would love to hear it!

Wow! How exciting! That is great, and will be a really neat experience for your family. I can't believe you'll be there for three years.
That is SO awesome!! Urayamashii mo! Nihon ni ikitai!! How wonderful that will be! Going back to Shane's old stomping grounds! How's the japanese shane? We are going back to japan for my 30th b day this coming year and I'm so rusty in the language, I'm a little nervous about that! Good luck and congrats!! I'll have to let Shiraho shimai know about your move there(now kozue macmichael)I bet she'll have some great advice for you! Omedeto gozaimasu!!

ahhhhhh....I'm so excited for you guys. What a perfect place for your family! I can't wait to hear about all your adventures there. Rich just accepted an internship in Salt Lake. We are excited but nervous about how we are going to make ends meet. It will be a great opportunity though. Well congrats again...can't wait to see you in May.
Wow, that is going to be so cool! I'm just sad we didn't take better advantage of your floor for a Disneyland trip. Kordel was stationed in Okinawa, but never mainland Japan, so he doesn't think he has any useful info for ya. I'm excited to hear the news about it as it comes. By the way, WAY CUTE family picture. You guys are models or something.

Amy!! It's Emilie Decker. You left a comment on my blog entering my contest for a free photo shoot. What a small world (did you know it was me?). I was looking at your blog & thought you look familiar & then I saw you & Joe in 1995!! What great photos. You are so gorgeous, it's so weird to see old friends after years & years. You blog is darling & congrats on Japan. I say if you win I come there to take your photos :)
I didn't realize your possibility of moving out of the country. That's neat that Shane has been there - so it's not a frightening thing to look forward to!

How exciting! Congratualtions! I can't wait to see pics of your little family in Japan.
I forgot to tell you that Dan's cousin lives in Tokyo that would be funny if you meet them. They are the sweetest family ever! I will send you an email of their names and where they live at.
So fun to connect. Let me know if i can help pressuring Joe into blogging. That would be so fun to see all that he is up to. Tell him hi for me. Write me & give me your email address & I'll put you on my mailing list. Good luck with Japan & let me know if you need any photos while you're there, I'll jump on a plane ;)
