Peace Out Chaba!

Well, yesterday was spent indoors due to Typhoon Chaba! We had been hunkering down for the last day and a half in anticipation of the storm. We woke up to loud, strong winds and side ways rain (You know a Typhoon is coming when the rain goes sideways). By the time Chaba made its way towards the Ryukyu Islands, it was a Category 4 Super Typhoon. This means the winds were between 131-155 mph! We, thank goodness, only felt the outer bands of with wind gusts no more then about 80 mph! Below is a satellite image of Chaba! We are that little tiny island the arrow is pointing to!

We didn't have any damage to our house, because these houses are made of pretty strong concrete and storm windows. We did have some debris in our back yard, however. With the winds so high, palm branches from palm trees and limbs from other trees were whipping around outside. I wanted to get a few photos so everyone could get an idea of what we went through, but the photos don't do the wind or storm justice!

Notice the debris. That was flying around.

More debris. Our yard started to flood, but thankfully it didnt flood more than this.

Weathering the storm.. haha

Today, after the gym, I headed down to the beach, like I always do. The waves were still gigantic (for Oki) so of course, I had to get some photos. There was also a lot more shells on the beach due to the waves pushing them in! Click here to check them out! We are really thankful that there was no real damage. I don't think there was much damage done of base whatsoever! Thank you Lord! All I have to say now is, Peace Out Chaba! Thanks for being gentle on us! 

Just an update

It's been a few days since I have last wrote on here, so I figured it was time! We have a typhoon heading our way, so I'm not sure what the next few days will be like. We could very well be without power for a few days, but I'm hoping that isn't the case. I guess we'll see.


I have been working on something new, however. Lately, I've been inspired when there is a camera in my hands. I'm not sure if it's a calling, or just a phase, but I'm becoming obsessed with photography and taking photos. I'm not very good at it, nor do I know what I am doing. But I hope to get a new SLR camera soon, so maybe by then I will know a thing or two. I figured people were getting tired of me posting photos on Facebook, so I decided to start a website. I had one when we first got here, but I didn't keep up with it, so I just started a new one. It's not completed by any means, but I am totally up for suggestions on how to improve it (Steph, that's your cue!). You guys will have to let me know what you think! :)

This is the day, the Lord hath made

This is the day that the Lord hath made; we will rejoice and be glad in it.

Psalm 118:24

Today has been such a good day for me. Lately, I've been feeling kind of down and homesick. I realized that I needed to get out of that rut and get over it. I woke up somewhat early today (well earlier then I usually do). I cleaned the house pretty darn good. I did a few loads of laundry to finish up what I didn't get done last night. And then made my way to the gym. I had an especially good workout today. I did the elliptical for an hour and did 6 miles and burned roughly 700 calories! YEAH! Not to mention I ran a few of those miles in 8.5 minutes.. which is fantastic for me! I'm usually about 9.75 - 10 minutes. So that was awesome. I love going to the gym at Torii Station, not only because it's hardly busy, but because it's right on the beach. I'm so lucky that I get to see the beautiful sight of the ocean every day! I went down to the beach after my workout just to get some sun and take a walk. I just wanted to clear my head of a few things. But the water was glistening so much that I just had to get a few photos! I figured I would share some with y'all!

love love love these gorgeous flowers

I realized that I need to be more grateful and thankful for what I have in my life. I've just been so stuck on being homesick and kind of moody, that I am forgetting how lucky I am. I have an amazing husband who I love dearly, great family, and fantastic friends. And I get to live in this beautiful oasis for the next 2.5 years. I guess the next time I start feeling down, I just need to remember how truly lucky I am to have all those great things in my life! Hope everyone has a blessed day!
