Texas here we come!

Callie and I will be leaving Japan tomorrow afternoon to head home to Texas.  I am excited to be headed home, but sad to leave Scott here.  He will have to stay until the end of the baseball season, and since his team is currently in first place we don't know how long that will be since they will most likely make the playoffs.  

I've had a great last week in Japan . . .  Scott had an off day on Monday and we went to the Bird and Flower Park again.  He was excited to be able to go with Callie and see how much she loves all the birds.  He also fed the toucan birds and was much more brave than I was :)  I also had coffee with a group of women that I have met here in Japan and it was great to be able to visit with everyone before I left.  They also had a Sayonara lunch today for me and another gal that is leaving (we are actually on the same flight tomorrow).  

The first couple of months I was here it was hard to meet new people because I was so focused on Callie and getting us both adjusted to life in Japan.  But eventually I branched out and started meeting people :)  I was amazed at how many great women I met while here in Japan, most of them are not even baseball families.  They are other Americans here while their husbands are working in Japan.  It was great to be able to bond with other women in the same situation as me and I will miss them very much.  Hopefully we will be back next season and we will all get to be together again :)

All in all we had a good time in Japan, but I am excited to be home!  I'll try to post again once we get home to let everyone know that we arrived safely.
