Our Next Post IS.......

OKINAWA JAPAN!!!

We have been starting to get antsy, just wanting to know where we are going next so we can start planning.  We thought for a while we were going to Korea so I had researched like CRAZY learning as much as I could to prepare.

Then we got word that Marcus was accepted into the program he applied for and our next post would be to Okinawa Japan!

I must admit at first I kinda crapped my pants.  Out of all the options of "possible" places, these one was low on the list of probability and I hand't even looked it up at all.  Once I stopped freaking out, which only lasted a few minutes, and started googling it up I started to get REALLY excited!

 I mean, how could you not?  Look at these pictures for crying out loud?  This gal, Vashti Radder, will live in this tropical paradise with my babies and my hubby for THREE YEARS!!  The schools teach Japanese so my kids will be bi lingual!

I have been so sad about leaving here because I LOVE this area.  The beach is magical and it is so fortifying to me!  I have been able to be in contact with a lot of people who have lived there or are living there and everyone loves it!

Of course there are downsides, we will be a LONG ways away from family and that will be hard.  We will be on an Island with not a lot of access to the stores I am used to (Target!!) but shipping I am heard is pretty easy with APO addresses and I have a feeling Amazon and I will become FAST friends!

Another downside is our weight allotment for overseas is a fraction of what it was to come here.  So basically we are selling EVERYTHING!  Getting down to the bare basics people!  I started this last week and Marcus jokes that this is now my full time job.  Fielding inquiries, setting up pick up times, answering questions, setting up times for items to be viewed.  A lot of sell and a lot to keep track of!

I keep telling myself "sunny beaches... sunny beaches" whenever I start to freak about all the stuff walking out of my house!

And of course you MUST know that our house would be open to anyone that cares to visit!  Anybody up for a little tropical vacation??   We would love to any of you com and visit, you would be treated to all the fancies that Okinawa has to offer!  

Radder's are going International Baby!
