Hello Everyone,
We finally got the web page rebuilt and the new photo's put up, hope everyone likes them. It has been a busy year for us, Seems like we are never home. Deana took a trip to Guam for her CPA test in May, and then I was given a short notice TDY to Saudi Arabia, I spent some of May, June and July there. In August Deana went to Hawaii for a couple weeks for her job. (it's just not fair that she gets to go to all the good places) Then in September we finally got to take our vacation to Australia. We had a great time there and we are planning another trip back. I am now getting ready to spend the rest of the year at Incirlik, Turkey. I leave in a couple of days and won't be home til Christmas. I hope all is well with everyone... Happy Holidays

Hi All,
It has been a while since we updated our letter, so we shall give you the highlights... First off, we have a new email address, there is something going on with contracts, and a possible force takeover trying to push our ISP off base... we don't know the whole story, but we were cut from the internet by the local Japanese long distance company KDD. So please send any email to the new address.
It has been raining here almost nonstop for the last few weeks, during the last few days we have gotten a few really nice days... we went out walking around the shopping areas yesterday, just to get out of the house for a while.
Deana's car has a nice new dent in the back bumper. While she was in doing some grocery shopping, her car was hit and run by someone who wasn't honest enough to stick around... she was not happy about that at all.
Deana is studing for the exam again, and I have been in a flight controls class for the F-15, we manage to stay pretty busy most of the time. She has also started working on a photo album that she has gotten interested in. Some of our friends have been making Creative Memory photo albums and now Deana has the bug... they look really nice when they are put together.
Take care and have fun... I am going to try and put some more pictures up again real soon. Love you all.

Hello everyone,
We are so BAD!!!! I guess I won't put down when we are going to update our pages anymore. I will obviously wreck any date I try to set. So, here is the newest update.
We are both doing fine... We spent our 5th annaversary (Aug 15th) moving on base. We didn't plan it that way... it just happened. We took a loss breaking our lease on the apartment, but we were sweating to death, so it is money well spent
Since the last time we updated our page we have had 3 typhoons.... Rosie, Tina, and Winnie. The last 2 were back to back and we got Winnie just hours after we got moved into our new home. We went out while the wind was just starting to kick up and cleaned the apartment for final inspection, we cut it pretty close because we didn't know if we were going to get back on base or not. They close the gates for typhoons here.
Shadow is much happier on base in the air conditioning, he didn't like the hot apartment either. now he bellyaches becase he doesn't get to go outside as much, we live in an upstairs unit of a 4 plex, but he does go on the balcony.
We spent one weekend at "Okuma" the military resort on the Island. We ended up buying new camping gear because we put all the stuff we had in storage before we came here, someone told us there was no camping on the Island. When we got here we found out you can pitch a tent where ever you want, all the beaches are public property.
For those of you who would like to chat (text) we are online more often now than when we were off base. We use ICQ by Mirabilis, you can download it here:
http://www.mirabilis.com/download.html
Add us to the ICQ list and it will tell you when we are online, and it will allow you to request a chat or send a message. if you have any problems setting it up send us an email.
We have some more picture we need to work on getting onto the page, and I will be taking down the ones that are there right now. So at some time in the future you will see a change.
Don't forget to email we love hearing from everyone.
