Hello Again!

Hello All,

It has been 2 months since my last post. I do apologize to those who actually go to it looking for an update from time to time (Mom, Carol, Pam, Rebecca, maybe Aaron???). Much has happened. First off, Ronan and I went to the states for a month. Loved every minute of it. Did not spend enough time with friends but spent quality time with family. Mom--we love you for putting us up and putting up with us for that long--company and garbage--you know the saying.

Mom was great. She even kept my three-year-old for a week while I was in D.C.. Ronan had a great time since he was spoiled rotten with so much attention. My sister Megan from Cabo San Lucas came to the states for two weeks while we were there. This was her first time spending more than a couple of hours with Ronan. I am so glad Ronan had that time with family. Got to watch a few LSU games with my brothers. They are HUGE fans and it made watching the game so much more fun when we were with them. Let's not think about the Arkansas game. It is depressing to say the least.

I spent a fabulous two days in Lafayette, Louisiana where I went to college. Didn't know why my best friend Marie was sick but she was a trooper to go to New Orleans so we could meet up with our other two best friends Jeanne and Heather. Jeanne, thank you for hosting a fantastic weekend at your house and we will always remember that as the weekend Marie found out she was pregnant. Yeah for baby Crozier!

Got back to Japan in time to celebrate Halloween. Ronan was black suited Spider Man. He had a blast. Our friends Linda, Amanda and Henry came on base and we trick or treated for about an hour. Ronan took to it like a duck to water. He was not shy about knocking on doors knowing he would get candy thrown into his bag. Look for pics to follow this post.

I got back into the swing of things at Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society where I volunteer. This is where I get most of my adult interaction these days. I love working in the Yokosuka office. Thanksgiving came around early this year it seemed and we went over to our friends, Cindy and Wayne Ludwig for a big dinner with friends. Soooo much food. I ate way too much, but that's what you often do on Turkey Day. Then we had a second Thanksgiving meal on Friday the 23rd with my friend Linda. She has lived in Japan for almost 7 years so she has missed a few Turkey Days so we celebrated with her and had a great time.

Well, i know this post is not full of witty banter, but it will get those individuals who are interested in the Perrys up to date for the most part. Oooh I almost forgot Ronan's big news. He is going to be modeling for Fuji Digital Camera this week. We are headed to Okinawa for the three day photo shoot. I took him to the audition not knowing much about the job he was auditioning for and wow he got a big job on his first audition. Will tell you how it goes at my next post.

Cheers
Kristin
