Quick Trip to HOME

Hi all!
So Andrea made a quick trip to see the chief over our Golden Week (May 1-8)  She was really blessed!  The entire trip from our home in Japan to Utah is nearly one day total.  The trip begins with a 4 hour trip from Kagawa to Osaka airport.  Waiting for check in and then the 12-13 hr flight to Seattle.  YIPEE!  Then a 2 hour layover in Seattle with the final destination in Utah 2 hours away.  Yes... she did this 5 months pregnant.  Now you want to know the  blessing?  :)  Well.... she was able to have a center seat in the plane and AmaZinGly the plane was not full.  She had 4 seats to her self. She was able to lay down and keep those feet up so as to avoid swelling.....  She spent every waking hour with the chief.  She helped out running errands etc.  Then the trip back to Japan.... Well you might be able to guess by the positive note in this post.... YEP center seats again and 4 seats to herself.... Again able to relax and keep those feet up, thus avoiding the horrible swelling that can occur.  She arrived safe and sound back to us on the evening of the 8th.  We missed her greatly while she was gone, but we know it was a wonderful thing to be able to spend time with the chief!  I will try to post some photos of her trip soon.

We are all well.  Surviving in Japan and enjoying every minute of living in a foreign land (which is beginning to feel more and more like home)  We look forward to hearing from you all!

Take care for now!
さよなら！
