A Blog Block

Shibuya

Rene's lunch of Japanese Ramen, looks so good!

The bride and her groom under the umbrella

My apologies, I have hit some kind of a bloggers block. I had no motivation to write this weekend. I am not sure if it was because I simply did nothing, or just had no motivation to open my blog. Last weekend was a time for me just to catch up. Renie was in Misawa for the weekend with the football team, and Larissa was busy working on a school project. Rene took a new dentist to Tokyo and I simply just did nothing but clean and catch up with my Facebook friends. We did buy a new old car. That phrase is funny to me. A new car for us, but not exactly new for the average American family. Rene's car was on its last leg. The speedometer was not working, the bumper was about to fall out, and the air condition was not cooling. Since JCI was going to be up next March, we figured it would be a good idea to buy a car now, since we knew the car would not pass the JCI inspection. We junked the car off base and got $100.00.  The only good part to the car was the new tires the owner gave to us.  We had only purchased the car for $600.00.  My co-worker just happened to be selling her car for a steal of $800.00. It is a 1995 Honda wagon in mint condition. So far the car runs well and I hope to get our money back when we sell next summer. I have posted some pictures of a wedding Rene came across of in Tokyo. Most brides in Japan prefer to have a traditional Japanese wedding followed by a westernized wedding. A father who married his daughter not long ago told Rene it was very expensive.
