Our home is like a townhouse. It's much bigger than the one Cara and I shared in Hattiesburg, though. Thank God! I'm surprised our friendship survived that! Jeremy and I decided that it is important for us to be comfortable in our home. It is the place that we will spend most of our time while we are here, and to that end, we bought some furniture, instead of using all army supplied furniture. I think that it's awesome that the army has furniture that we can use, and we are using some of it, (like our whole dining room) but, like I said, we wanted to be comfortable. And, comfort comes from owning your own things...your own comfortable things! If army beds are any indication, then I'm sure army couches aren't very comfortable! We bought a new living room suite and a new bedroom suite, and we love them both! Falling asleep on the couch is just as easy as falling asleep in bed! Truth be told, I had picked out a different living room suite, (one that didn't show Scrappy's fur quite so easily) but once Jeremy sat on this couch, he was done. There wasn't any valid reason to not go with this furniture as opposed to that I had chosen, so I let him win this battle! Honestly, I love it, too. I have no complaints! As for the bedroom, we both saw this set and loved it! We got lucky there!
We also got a CAR!!! I love my little bitty car! I told Jeremy that, given how small the road are here, I wanted a little car. We found the perfect little car, and we both wish that we could bring it home when it's time to go, but we know that isn't going to happen. It's just too expensive. The car is a silver Nisaan March. They don't make them in the states, but they should! I do have my driver's license here, and I am slowly, but surely, getting used to the tiny roads. Driving on the left hand side of the road doesn't really phase me, it's the narrow roads that are killer! Roads that, back home, would be considered one-way, are two-way traffic here. No joke!
We have gotten out some more, as well. We went to the Tokyo Game Show. It was an adventure! I'm not a gamer myself, but Jeremy most definitely is! I didn't think I'd like it, and told Jeremy he could go without me, but I'm glad I went. His friend, Nick, went with us, and he and I got lots of cool pictures of people (mostly girls) dressed in costume. It was seriously neat, and every guy's dream of seeing hot Asian women in costume! Don't worry, ladies, there were some guys dressed up, too (although not nearly as many lol)! They gave out all kinds of free stuff and let people play the newest games. It was a really good time!
I have been having such a great time here with my husband! For some reason, though, I haven't been sleeping very well. For at least a month, I've had insomnia really bad. It usually takes me forever to fall asleep, and once I do, I sleep for no more than an hour and a half before I wake up. I don't mean wake up, look at the clock, and fall back asleep. No, I wake up, eyes wide open, and can't get back to sleep. Some nights I just toss and turn. I long for those nights! They are few and far between! At least with the tossing and turning, I'm asleep for the most part. When I wake up, though, I'm awake. I do eventually fall back asleep, but usually it takes me an hour or more to fall asleep, and then I wake back up in about another hour. It's starting to affect my personality and my ability to get things done during the day. I'm going to the doctor on Monday, though, so y'all say a prayer!
I miss all my friends and my family back home, but don't y'all worry about me, because I'm well taken care of here! Jeremy is a wonderful husband, and I am making some really good friends!
One more thing! I know I didn't include any pictures of our house and our car, but, I will very soon! I am going to start blogging more often, it's just that so much has happened recently that I haven't had the time. No worries, though! I'm on top of it! Filling y'all in on our life is very theraputic for me!
