We found a house to rent and will be moving in on May 8th! I'm really happy with this place because it has the 3BR-2Bath we wanted, American appliances (whew), good closet space (very rare) and an awesome little landscaped yard... perfect for our patio stuff and a grill, but not so big that it will be a pain to mow, haha. The people who live right next door are Americans (can tell from the military license plates) but it looks like everyone else is the area are Okinawan locals. So it should be fun to see what life is really like away from the base. Oh, there's also a KFC about a block away, so that helps to make it feel a little more like "home". 
We found a car too, a '99 Mazda Millenia, nothing exciting but it had low miles and was cleaner than most used cars around here. Later next month, we'll start looking for another one for me. I'm hoping to find something smaller because the Millenia is pretty big compared to what else is on the roads here.

That is all just so exciting! I am still very jealous (somehow y'all moved to Japan have a much nicer place to live there than we have in the US - by far)... but that is really, really cool!
I'm glad you're blogging so we can see how things are going for you and what y'all are up to.
The pictures you have sent have been gorgeous! What an adventure!
That looks really nice! I'm excited for you guys. Anna and I are really wanting to come visit in a year if we can muster up the cash :)
