I'm leaving on a jet plane..

Ethan left for Okinawa two weeks before I did. He flew out on September 26th, 2006, and I was able to leave on October 12th. We were waiting for my passport to show up, and literally two days after he got on a plane it came in the mail. What luck! Although I was really nervous to go to Japan by myself (I'd never left the country!), it was exciting. The two weeks gave me the extra time I needed to spend with family and friends before embarking on a new chapter in our lives. It was one thing to be out on our own, young and married. Arizona was a huge step for us. But JAPAN?! Down right daunting! The day before I left Mom and Dad treated me to some Red Lobster. Mmmm! Lucena at the time was about 6 months pregnant. Ignore the camera dates.. they're wrong!

Mom and Dad. I love dad's face in this!

Lucena and Troy. The flash really washed her out =[
*poke poke* Hi Lael! I know you're in there!
HAHAHA!!
