I'm just your basic, all-American girl from Denver, Colorado, except for now, I live half way around the world in Japan.: ) I met my husband in university in Denver. College sweethearts. We have been happily married since 1997. And have been together for way longer, about 16 years total. He's originally from Osaka, Japan. We lived for a couple of years in Honolulu Hawaii, where our beautiful first born son, Branden was born. We were sent there by the company my husband works for. He works for an airline by the way. After living in Honolulu, my husband's employer, wanted us to move to Japan. We live in Chiba, Japan. Where we just built our dream home, an import "all American" house! Which means a big GE oven, big GE dishwasher and yes, central heating and central air conditioning, yay! We also have a beautiful second son, named Noah. Since my husband works for an airline like I said, we travel a lot and I really do appreciate the flight benefits. Other then that, I just love spending time with my family and friends and enjoy back yard BBQ's.
Saturday's backyard BBQ and another night of firework/sparkler fun!
Saturday we had yet another backyard bbq here at home in the Japanese countryside.
Teriyaki chicken breasts with a pinch of pineapple for teriyaki sandwiches. Hamburgers and hot dogs.
Noboru brought his lap top outside and played 80's music while we bbq'ed and the boys played in the yard.
I can tell exactly what song was playing when I clicked this picture. The Power of Love by Huey Lewis And The News. : ) Noboru had the 80's music going on outside and I had my ipod on in the kitchen while I was warming up the bbq beans and getting the table ready for dinner. They've been playing Back to the Future so often on satellite, that I finally had to add that song on my ipod a few weeks ago. : )
Let's eat! Noboru putting ketchup on his chargrilled cheeseburger.
Bqq beans, cheeseburgers, teriyaki chicken breasts for sandwiches, hot dogs. Lettuce, tomatoes, pickles...etc.
Noah eating a chargrilled hot dog.
Branden enjoying one too.
We had bought some more sparklers to enjoy after our bbq.
After showers and into pj's for everyone, we all popped some popcorn, grabbed some Reece's Pieces and watched the remake of Arthur. A simple, yet fun Saturday spent at home. : )
This blog was started for everybody I care about and love back home, it sorta helps my family and friends feel more connected to me and my life. It's also a place to make new friendships, support one another, laugh our butts off at times, and just be kind to one another and hang out! So please join me, while I try living my life in Japan, all the good, the bad and yes even the embarrassing blunders that I will probably be making along the way! : )
