We are the Stuarts (formerly of Imperial) now residing in Okinawa, Japan.

This blog started from a desire to bridge the miles as we were preparing to leave the USA for 3+ years. It has turned into much more. It's part travel diary, part personal reflection, part "sociology of military life" and part mommy-blog. We hope you read something here that is interesting to you (or at least not a total waste of your time).

Conference 09...Day Two...Sleeping, Shopping, and Eating


We got out of bed around noon on Friday. That time zone difference is a killer! First on our "to do" list (just like last year, oddly enough) was to go buy shoes for kids. And go to Build A Bear (where I bought a Turkey I named Stuffing, over whom I am giddy). And just wandered around worshiping at the alter of consumerism in general. It was pretty sweet.




Then that night, we attended the opening banquet of Chaplains' Conference on the 26th floor of the Church office building. It's always SO much fun, and this year was no different. This is where we get to reconnect and count who is here this year. I forgot to take pics at the banquet...but I did remember to snap this one of this most handsome (Lt.)Commander of my Heart as we were waiting for the hotel elevator.
