Friends and Family,

We are finally settled into our new home. If you keep up with us on facebook you have seen a million pictures of our home, our little monkey, and all the fun we are having. We are waiting on our stuff to get here from our storage from our first base in Mississippi... it is going to be like Christmas! Almost our whole house is in order and it is GREAT! We love our home. We know that God had this house here waiting for us for a reason... it is so perfect for us. We are adjusting to life in the states ok. We, rather I, miss Japan a ton and my family there.... I would be back there in a heartbeat. It seems to be much harder being stateside because I am SOOO close to my family and yet, so far away. We love our neighborhood... it is all we have wanted... a nice, friendly, fun neighborhood to raise Noah in.

We have found a church and have gotten plugged into a Small Group. What a blessing these people have been in our lives already! God is so good. I have been seeing Him in so much that has happened and been going on since we arrived here. We really enjoy our preacher as he is amazing.. and gives great Life Lesson Sermons. We don't feel like we are being preached at.. but learning so much. Nathan loves the church and said we didn't need to look any further! :)

Nathan is loving is job at the Fire Department here. He is staying busy and learning new things.... as going to any new base brings new adventures and more education. He was born to be a home owner as he loves all of these little projects that keep him busy around here. Cassey is waiting to get licensed from the state of California to do childcare. She is ready to start but also enjoying every moment with Noah. She truly believes she was born to be a stay at home mom. Again, if you keep up with us on facebook or our blog, you see all her new endeavors. Noah is amazing. He is just so fun. Growing and learning something new everyday. He talks so much. Repeats everything you say. This age is too much fun. This month he will be 18 months. WHERE, oh where, did the time go. What happened to our baby? Dezi loves it here.. loves having a back yard and just enjoying being settled. She didn't care too much for the traveling.

For those that don't keep up with us, feel free to follow us on facebook or check our our blog occassionally.. Cassey tries to update it regularly.

Nate, Cass, Noah, and Dezi
