Greetings. Today we finalized the purchase of our two cars. Jason's is a 1992 Toyota Surf (4 Runner-ish) that we bought for roughly $3100.
We also moved into our base housing. It is a 3 bedroom town house with 3 other units. Our cul-de-sac is made up of several similar buildings. Plenty of closet space and A HUGE kitchen. We also received a whole extra bedroom than we were anticipating. (It is just waiting for it's first occupant to visit from the USA.) Although we would not chose to live in this place if it were in the States, we feel like we're living the high life here in Misawa. You'd think we were living on Wisteria Lane though.... new tenants prove to be quite the spectacle and we feel like we have been providing plenty of 
speculation as we move in. Everyone has been very sweet though and we have received several well wishers and gift baskets. It is clear though that we will have to get accustomed with our lovely neighbors popping in at the drop of a hat.
Our household shipments have not arrived yet. Hopefully they did not fall off the ship on the way over. The base loaned us some furniture including a kitchen table, a living room set, and a bedroom set. We bought our crib last week and will put it together this weekend after we paint his nursery. Otherwise, we are just waiting....for our things to arrive or for him to arrive. God knows both will keep us busy. Stay tuned and enjoy the pics.
Suzy's is a 1993 Mitsubishi Diamante that we got for $2400. We had to buy Japanese liability insurance as as the US insurance companies do not cover us over here. Now we are now cruising around in style in our new cars and not dependent on our sponsors driving us around or walking the crazy 36week prego around all over the place.

Hi Jay and Suzy, I have enjoyed looking at your website. I come home from work and check my e-mail and your website pretty much daily. Sounds like you are getting your life together over there--slow, but sure. Enjoy it!!This adventure is best enjoyed by young folks like yourselves. Love to you both. Aunt Gail
Your quarters and POVs look great!

And I missed this one too!! HOw did I do that? Great new cars, great new place. Yes, you will certainly have to get used to neighbors dropping by, and often. Though, on base you will make some wonderful lifelong friends. And, your neighbors on base are way more likely to help you out in times of need!!
